When adding a widget to a page or a page to the website, editors now have a search box available in the corresponding selection dialog to quickly find the desired widget or page type.
Using the Content Browser, you can now duplicate any piece of content. In particular, assets such as images no longer need to be downloaded and then uploaded again just to create a slightly modified second version. Instead, you can now duplicate them by means of the corresponding button we’ve provided, and then use the built-in image editor to adjust the copy as needed.
If you are using custom binary attributes in your project, for example to handle different versions of the same image, you can now upload files to them using the Content Browser.
When setting up a team and thereby defining its responsibilities, it may be helpful for an admin to be able to determine the function or task of the already existing teams. For this, teams can now be given a description which could also be used to record other pieces of information, e.g. contact data.
Time-consuming backend tasks can now be run in parallel without affecting the performance of the live site. See the priority
option of Scrivito.configure
for details.

As a Scrivito customer, you will know of – or even have already used – the website-specific “Users” section on the Dashboard at my.scrivito.com that authorized users can access in order to invite people as editors, for example. We are discontinuing this user management section as we’ve replaced...
Selecting all changes in a working copy Selectively publishing changed content has become more efficient in situations where an editor needs to move all or almost all pieces of content to a different working copy. For example, if you need to publish just a couple of pages and move the majority of...
Selectable date display format Editors can now choose whether dates such as the publishing date of working copies in the “History” sidebar are displayed as absolute or relative values, e.g., as “Feb 23, 2023, 11:15 AM” or “Three days ago”, respectively. For this, a corresponding item was added to...
