New Features

• New Multi-Project Dashboard, where you can manage all websites within a singular platform, with separate management for each platform. If you have a project, this dashboard is the first you will see. If you only have one project, the CMS will navigate you to the Welcome Dashboard.

• Welcome Dashboard - The entry screen to the CMS has been completely refreshed, with a new welcome dashboard that shows all the Tasks you have currently active. You can also switch to see all tasks currently open, plus switch between a grid or list view for extra information and management.

• Introduction of a new Picklist functionality, to help editors re-use content quickly and easily inside components.

• Page Tree Builder - The CMS now contains a page tree that will allow you to organise your pages into folders and groups to match your work. The dynamic tree can be re-sized or collapsed to gain more space inside the page editor.

Enhancements

1. Rename of Branches to Tasks. Customer feedback indicated confusion around the word Branch, so this functionality is now called Tasks. Inside the new user interface the concept of tasks remains the same, but you will now be able to access/add tasks through a new welcome dashboard, and a new menu option.

2. Crop Tool in Media Library now has both preset crop sizes and a manually cropping drag function.

3. Routing Manager - You now have the power to set up your URL routes. Quickly set up the page routes you need, as well as the ability to set up redirects. A new routing manager dashboard shows all routes set up within your website. All routes need to be created and reviewed within a Task, providing an extra layer of security for Page URL construction.

4. Media Library Overhaul - The media library has been given a new UI, which now contains A grid view of images and a new cropping tool that lets you customize media file sizes, as well as use preselected crop sizes.

5. Cleaner Page Editing Experience - while there is no change to functionality, the page editor has been given a refresh, focused on making the editing experience easier to use and more informative.

The ability to assign default values within Data Feed Definitions, on all of the available data types.
