Editors can now enable or disable content properties with a single click on a toggle switch.
In addition to the enum attribute type, which allows for any number of options (e.g. the color of a button), Scrivito now also has two-valued options built in. For adding a yes/no switch, developers have the new boolean attribute type available.
Examples for yes/no properties are activating and deactivating a specific style of a widget or page, or turning page indexing on and off.
As an editor uploads a file, for example a video, to the CMS using the Content Browser, an object class matching the content type of this file needs to be determined. Instead of always having a “Download” object created from such files, Scrivito now lets you register default object classes for the content types you work with. For this, the Scrivito.configureObjClassForContentType API has been made available. This method allows you to provide a mapping between content types and the respective object classes to be applied to uploaded files.
We further improved Scrivito’s multi-site capabilities. Visitors will no longer see blank pages after content migrated to a different site has been published but not yet fully prerendered.
Scrivito provides a new API method, Obj updateReferences. It allows you to change a CMS object’s links pointing to any other CMS object. The replacement link destinations can be freely defined using a mapping function. For example, you can change all links referencing an outdated imprint so that they point to the revised version.
Weaving data into website content using placeholders Editors can now insert placeholders representing specific pieces of data into textual website content, e.g., for personalization purposes. When the website is then visited, these placeholders are dynamically replaced with data provided by the...

Switching to Neoletter made easy The Scrivito editing interface now features a sidebar button for conveniently opening the Neoletter UI associated with the Scrivito CMS concerned. Thank you for using Scrivito! Please let us know what you would like to see improved.
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...
SDK uses edit.scrivito.com exclusively Scrivito’s always up-to-date editing interface, edit.scrivito.com, is now always used for editing. It lets editors benefit from improvements from the moment they are made available. If your app already uses edit.scrivito.com, you can skip this point, of...
After receiving feedback from power users, we’ve extended the date and time editing options. Manual date input Some editors need to provide many dates in their daily work. For these users, pointing and clicking again and again becomes tiresome after a while. With the new option to specify a date...
Sometimes, a section or subsection of a website becomes obsolete, for example, if a product is no longer sold, or part of the documentation isn’t needed anymore. In this situation, you can still delete the pages one by one, starting at the lowest hierarchy level of the section concerned, but you...
