# Slopify 3.0.9

Released 29 September 2026.

3.0.9 gives every image its own moment from the article, lets a project run without an article, and makes sure an update never lands in the middle of a job.

## Highlights

- **Scenes from the article:** images of one prompt stop being the same picture drawn again.
- **Article can be Off**, for projects of images or a thumbnail only.
- **Updates wait for every kind of job**, including a batch between two videos and a schedule about to run.

## Images

- **Scenes from the article** (Images, in Play and Edit project; off by default). Before the images are drawn, the project's AI model reads the article once and writes a short scene for each image, from the article's opening to its ending in the order the images are shown. Each image is drawn from its prompt with its scene added: where the prompt has `{{Scene}}`, there, otherwise after the prompt's first paragraph, so any prompt works unchanged. `{{Scene}}` is never a field to fill in; with the switch off, a `{{Scene}}` line is left out. One more AI call per run, shown on Review as "Image scenes".

## Article

- **Article: Off.** A project can have no article at all: for images or a thumbnail made from prompts, with no placeholder text. Choosing Off switches off what reads the article (research, narration, captions, the YouTube description, shorts, the PDF and Scenes from the article) and takes their sections out of Play and Edit project; the thumbnail offers From prompt and Provide only.

## Updates

- An update never installs while a job is going. Besides a running step, that now includes a step waiting to try again, a project between two steps, a batch with videos still queued, a narration chunk about to be recorded again, and a schedule writing topics or due to start within 10 minutes. A waiting update installs by itself once everything has been idle for two looks in a row. Updates still start only when you press Update.

## Upgrading from 3.0.8

- **Nothing becomes outdated.** Scenes from the article is off until you switch it on in a project or template.
