The Releases Spotlight banner on Home
The Releases Spotlight banner is the prominent card at the top of the Home tab. It’s your fastest way to see what’s coming out this week and jump into the full Releases calendar.
What it shows
The banner adapts to your collection:
- If you collect series with releases this week — It highlights one or two of your followed series, with cover art and release dates.
- If you don’t have any followed series releasing this week — It shows a few highlights from the broader catalog (popular upcoming volumes).
- If your collection is empty — It shows a generic “Discover what’s coming” CTA to encourage you to start exploring.
Tapping the banner
Tap anywhere on the banner to open the Releases calendar — the full weekly view of upcoming volumes.
Customization
The banner is automatic — it picks releases based on your followed series and the week’s catalog. There’s nothing to configure.
Why is it on Home?
Most collectors check release dates frequently — knowing what’s coming this week is a recurring need. Putting the spotlight on the Home tab keeps it one tap away every time you open the app.
I don’t see the banner
A few possibilities:
- No releases scheduled. If there genuinely aren’t any upcoming volumes in our catalog (rare, but happens around holidays), the banner may not appear.
- Catalog out of date. Force a sync from Settings → Catalog Version and reopen the Home tab.
- Empty collection on FREE. New users with empty collections still see the banner (with the generic Discover prompt) — if you’re seeing nothing at all, report it.
Banner colors
The banner uses your selected theme’s gradient. Premium themes (Ocean, Sakura, Ember, Matcha — PRO) change the gradient accordingly. See Choosing a theme.
