v2.14.0

# Announcing Linkwarden 2.14

Hello everyone!

It’s been about 3 months since the last release, and this one took a bit longer than usual. A lot of work went into polishing and refining both the web and mobile apps to make sure it was worth the wait.

Today, we’re excited to announce **Linkwarden 2.14**!

For those who are new to Linkwarden, it’s a tool for collecting, organizing, reading, and preserving webpages, articles, and documents in one place. Linkwarden is available as a **[Cloud offering](https://linkwarden.app)**, or you can **[self-host](https://docs.linkwarden.app/self-hosting/installation)** it on your own server.

This release focuses on performance, usability, security, and platform upgrades.

## What’s new:

### 🗂️ Improved team collaboration

Collections and subcollections got some important improvements.

Members and their permissions can now be propagated to subcollections, and collection admins can now create subcollections as well.

### 🏷️ Improved tag browsing with pagination

Tags now support pagination, making large tag lists easier to browse.

This helps keep things faster and more manageable, especially in places like the sidebar and tags page.

### ⚡ Faster interface with optimistic rendering

We added optimistic rendering to some of the slower parts of the app, especially around links and collections.

That means actions like updating or deleting items can now feel much more immediate, since the UI updates right away instead of waiting for the full request to finish.

### 🚀 Platform upgrades: Next.js 15 and Expo 54

Linkwarden now runs on newer foundations across both web and mobile:

- **Next.js 15** for the web app
- **Expo 54** for the mobile app

These upgrades improve compatibility and give us a stronger base for future improvements.

### ✨ Improved user experience

This release brings a number of user experience improvements across the app, especially around search and settings.

Search is now more helpful and easier to discover, while settings are cleaner and easier to navigate.

### 🔒 Security improvements for submitted links

We improved how submitted links are validated on the server for safer and more reliable processing. We recommend updating to 2.14 as soon as possible.

### ✅ And more...

As always, this release also includes smaller fixes, UI cleanups, dependency updates, and under-the-hood improvements across the app.
