# Just Released: GravityView 2.4!



## 📆 Happy Emoji Day! 🎡🤸‍♂️

July 17 is [World Emoji Day](https://worldemojiday.com), and also the release date of Version 2.4 of GravityView! This GravityView update includes much-requested functionality and bug fixes. Alas, there were no additional emoji included in GravityView. This was, indeed, an oversight. 😿

Here are some highlights of the release:

### Display an entry counter with the `{sequence}` Merge Tag

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uqWCtSsmHIQ Learn about the {sequence} Merge Tag.  
We added a `{sequence}` Merge Tag, which allows you to add a counter to the results in a View. This is a handy addition. Check out the video above for more information, and you can [read about the Merge Tag on our docs site](https://docs.gravitykit.com/article/597-the-sequence-merge-tag).

### Show all entries when exporting a CSV

Customers love the functionality in GravityView that allows exporting entries as CSV by adding `/csv/` to the URL. That functionality had a limitation, though: by default, it would only export the number of entries shown on a page (with a default of twenty-five). We were asked many times "How do I export all my GravityView entries to CSV at once?"

![The new "Show all in CSV" setting in GravityView.](https://cf61600d-90c1-49ac-b4a6-d97914c46f41.cv03.conves.io/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Screen-Shot-on-2019-07-17-at-15-54-05-1024x426.png)
*We heard you: In 2.4, we added a checkbox to export all entries at once. To enable in your View, check the new "Show all in CSV" checkbox*

## Changes to who can edit a View

We are changing the capabilities required to add and edit a View in GravityView. Before Version 2.4, users with the Author role were able to create and edit Views, even if they lacked a capability called `unfiltered_html`. This capability gives users the permission to add HTML to a site that may include code that isn't safe, like external JavaScript. In 2.4, we tightened security by requiring users to have the `unfiltered_html` capability to edit a View.

We understand this may be an inconvenience, and apologize! [Here's how to add the required capability to an existing role](https://docs.gravitykit.com/article/598-allowing-users-to-edit-a-view) (such as Author) on your site.
