Streamlined collaboration through improved security

Thu, 23 Nov 2023 12:00:00 GMT

We’ve introduced filtering users based on their roles in collections. This makes collaboration easier for content creators and enables organizations to better isolate their business units. This update helps your content creators easily identify and select relevant colleagues they want to mention in comments or assign tasks to. Your project users won’t see other users with whom they don’t share a collection. This helps your organization use collections to securely isolate individual business units and prevent users from seeing who’s in collections they don’t have access to. For instance, if a user encounters a comment posted by someone whose name they shouldn’t see due to the collection permissions, they won’t. They’ll see the comment but not the name of its author.

Nest headings up to six levels deep

Wed, 09 Nov 2022 14:00:00 GMT

Are you using the .NET Management SDK to manage content types with rich text elements? Do you use rich text limitations? If so, you need to update the .NET Management SDK to version 4.2.0 or higher before November 9 to keep your code working. Take care that starting with version 4.0.0, only .NET 6 is supported. In any case, prepare your app for the new heading levels. They'll be enabled by default in new content types and any existing rich text elements without limitations regarding headings or lists.

No more deleted items, taxonomy terms, or assets in content types

Tue, 25 Oct 2022 22:00:00 GMT

Management API currently allows saving content types with these invalid references. After October 26, you'll get an error instead. We recommend you to go through your content model and clean up references to any such deleted terms, items, and assets. To make your life easier, we're updating Kontent.ai app in this regard as well. After October 12, the Kontent.ai app won't let you save content types with guidelines or default values referencing deleted terms, items, or assets.

With Sync API, your app stays safe by processing just the changes it needs to know about. Sync API is available through an early access program. Let us know if you'd like to try!

New tools to help you keep your content model nice and tidy

Tue, 11 Oct 2022 22:00:00 GMT

We've expanded the content type validation. It's no longer possible to save a content type with deleted assets, content items, or taxonomy terms in default values. This helps you keep your content model clean and up-to-date. There's also new validation for the guidelines element. To prevent confusion, you now can't save a content type with deleted assets in the guidelines. This update doesn't include the Management API validation. We'll release that separately on October 26.

Deleted taxonomy terms are now clearly shown

Tue, 11 Oct 2022 22:00:00 GMT

When you use a taxonomy term in a content item, and someone deletes the term, it's now clearly visible. Up until now, deleted terms have just disappeared. Deleted terms are shown in red as “Deleted taxonomy term”. This also applies to taxonomy elements' default values.

A little sneak peek into components

Tue, 23 Aug 2022 00:00:00 GMT

Having multiple components in a content item is an essential part of content modeling. But at the same time, it might be a bit overwhelming to navigate such content items. To quickly scan through collapsed components, you can now have a look at their text preview. This gives you an idea of what's inside the component and if it's what you're looking for.

Ease-of-use improvements to Kontent.ai

Wed, 22 Jun 2022 00:00:00 GMT

We've released several improvements to Kontent.ai that make the lives of content creators and managers easier and more efficient: Schedule with time zones – Working with content for customers all around the globe? Need to schedule content publishing for 9 AM in New York while you’re in Sydney? Say goodbye to time offsets guesswork! With the new time zone selector, schedule an item to publish or unpublish at an exact time in a particular time zone to get your content out at the right time. No matter where you are. Default values for more elements – Set default values for Number, Date & time, and Multiple choice elements. You can also use the Management API{#tag/Elements-in-content-types#} to set default values. Time respects browser settings – Time values in Kontent.ai's UI are now displayed based on your browser’s preferred site languages. For example, if your first preferred language is English (United States), the UI displays the time as 2:15 PM. For English (United Kingdom), the time's displayed as 14:15. Improved API keys page – We've improved the layout and wording in the API keys section of Kontent.ai. With this change, it's now clear what serves which purpose so you can quickly find what you need. Web Spotlight settings moved – The settings page now sits on its own under the environment settings.

Improved error handling in the Delivery .NET SDK

Thu, 16 Jun 2022 00:00:00 GMT

We've released a new version of the Delivery .NET SDK. The main improvement is that the Delivery client now correctly forwards error responses from the Delivery API instead of just failing without providing meaningful information. This concerns mainly data listing requests. It's now significantly more convenient to properly handle the data retrieval error cases so we strongly recommend upgrading your SDK to the new version. Check out release notes on GitHub for details and tips on how to upgrade to this version.

Set default values for taxonomy elements

Wed, 08 Jun 2022 00:00:00 GMT

Wed, 01 Jun 2022 00:00:00 GMT

The scope of the rate limits for Management API changes from per user per project to per project. If you're using retry policy for your API requests, nothing changes for you. If you're using multiple API keys to make API requests to a single project, you might see more Too Many Requests errors. Don't worry, your apps will keep working.

Save creators' time with default values

Wed, 25 May 2022 00:00:00 GMT

You can now specify default values for text elements. Default values can be useful with metadata information, such as open graph content or headings that might repeat in one way or form. With default values, the repeated information can be prefilled, saving time for your content creators. Default values for more elements such as multiple choice and taxonomy are coming soon. Stay tuned.

Editable codenames for content groups

Project cloning gets more secure

Wed, 25 May 2022 00:00:00 GMT

To enhance the security of your content when cloning a project, the subscription to which you clone needs to offer the same features as the original project's subscription. For example, if you want to clone a project that has secure access enabled for Delivery API, the new project's subscription must support secure access as well. Same goes for Management API.

Manage your workflows via API

Wed, 25 May 2022 00:00:00 GMT

You can now manage your workflows using the Management API. This means you can programmatically create, update, and delete your custom workflows. To better support management of multiple workflows, we've deprecated two endpoints and we recommend using the new endpoints. Use the Change the workflow of a language variant endpoint instead of the deprecated Change a workflow step of a language variant. Use the Retrieve workflows endpoint instead of the deprecated Retrieve workflow steps endpoint. We've also updated our management SDKs so you can manage workflows in your scripts.

Increased performance of Delivery REST API

Tue, 17 May 2022 00:00:00 GMT

The Delivery API responses are now 30% smaller and 50% faster. This is possible thanks to minimizing the JSON responses and changing the way they're serialized. Don't worry, nothing changes for your apps. You still get the same JSON responses as before, they just aren't pretty printed.

Kontent CLI can run a range of migrations

Thu, 12 May 2022 00:00:00 GMT

With the Kontent CLI, our migration template runner, you can now run a subset of your migrations based on a range you provide (using the new range parameter).

Quickly find unlabeled items

Wed, 13 Apr 2022 00:00:00 GMT

Consistent content labeling is important. With the new Not in filter, you can quickly find unlabeled content items. For example, if you need to find items that aren't labeled by a taxonomy called Continents, you'd select ∅ Not in Continents from the list of filters.

Workflow preselection saves your time

Wed, 13 Apr 2022 00:00:00 GMT

When you change an item's workflow and there's only one workflow the item can move to, Kontent now disables the dropdown and selects the workflow for you automatically. It works the same when you convert a component to a content item and there's only one workflow available.

Content items with components open faster

Wed, 13 Apr 2022 00:00:00 GMT

The API responses now come with two new headers, X-Complexity and X-Request-Charge. Use the headers to fine-tune your queries.

Advanced asset management comes to the Management API

Mon, 07 Mar 2022 00:00:00 GMT

The Management API v2 now supports managing asset renditions via new endpoints: Retrieve a list of renditions using GET /assets/{assetId}/renditions or a single rendition via GET /assets/{assetId}/renditions/{renditionId} Update an existing rendition using PUT /assets/{assetId}/renditions/{renditionId} Create a new rendition using POST /assets/{assetId}/renditions When upserting language variants, you can now work with the renditions property in the asset elements. The asset endpoints were also extended by the elements property containing the asset taxonomy.

Manage environments via API

Wed, 02 Mar 2022 00:00:00 GMT

Your developers can now use the new Management API endpoints to clone, rename, delete, and mark environments as production. Use the new API endpoints for environment management to automate the creation of new environments and backups.

Regex validation ease of use and control over URL slugs

Wed, 02 Mar 2022 00:00:00 GMT

This helps you to speed up the process of setting up the validations because you don't need to reinvent the wheel.

Quality of life improvements for workflows

Wed, 02 Mar 2022 00:00:00 GMT

When editing content types, you'll see to which workflows the content type is limited. You can change the limitations in workflow settings. Also, in Environment settings > Workflow you now see the number of content items used by each workflow. This number counts for items in all languages.

Get a clear picture of how your content items are sorted

Wed, 16 Feb 2022 00:00:00 GMT

You'll be no longer unsure about the way your content items are sorted. When you search for content items, you'll now see clearly in the search bar information on how the items are sorted. Moreover, if you set the list to custom sorting, for instance by name, you'll see a reset button to get back to the default sorting by relevance.

Don't know which folder you've opened the other day? Kontent does!

Wed, 16 Feb 2022 00:00:00 GMT

When inserting images to a content item, the last visited folder is now remembered so there's no need to click through the asset library again and again. Less time searching for assets, more time being creative.

Kontent.ai now makes selecting the right collection easier. When creating a new content item, you'll see the collections you use most. When you filter out content items in the content list and then create a new item, Kontent.ai recommends the collections relevant to your current filters. Also, when you create a new item from within the linked items element, the parent item's collection is preselected for you.

Find your assets faster by sorting them

Wed, 19 Jan 2022 00:00:00 GMT

You can now sort your assets by title, creation date, and file size. When you select a sorting option, Kontent remembers it and will sort your assets the same also the next time you visit the asset library. You can also sort assets in the dialog for inserting an asset into a content item. Here, however, Kontent doesn't save your sorting options.

One step less to restore an older version of content

Wed, 19 Jan 2022 00:00:00 GMT

Restoring an older version of a published content item just got easier: you can do it directly and don't need to create a new version of the item first – the item gets to its first workflow step automatically.

Text elements on steroids with regex validations

Wed, 24 Nov 2021 00:00:00 GMT

Proper content modeling is difficult, especially when there are no elements that would enforce the specific data formats you need in your app. Say goodbye to complex custom elements used just to check the text format. Set custom validation rules with regular expressions{#section/Text-type-element#} and turn your text elements into a very versatile tool that does the job for you. Eliminate typos in emails and URLs, enforce specific format of your product IDs, and make the lives of your reviewers easier. All this and much more with custom regex validations! Custom regex validations can currently be set only with Management API{#section/Text-type-element#} but take effect in the Kontent app. The ability to set custom validations directly in Kontent is coming soon.

Sat, 01 Feb 2020 00:00:00 GMT

On February 1, 2020, introduced the following changes to the Delivery API to ensure our Fair Use Policy: The List content items endpoint will return max. 2,000 items (including linked items).

This won't affect requests that hit our CDN cache.

Deleting projects

Wed, 22 Jan 2020 00:00:00 GMT

Wed, 08 Jan 2020 00:00:00 GMT

The Custom elements JS API is now available at a new URL: https://app.kontent.ai/js-api/custom-element/v1/custom-element.min.js.

Changes to Management API v2

Wed, 11 Dec 2019 00:00:00 GMT

On December 11, 2019, we introduced the following breaking changes: The endpoint for getting taxonomy groups returns a paginated response instead of an array of taxonomy objects. To unify the data format across the API, you will get the list of taxonomies wrapped in a JSON object which includes paging. If you use our JavaScript SDK, you can use the latest version which accepts both the old and new format of the endpoint. If you use your own implementation, you will need to change the code to accept the taxonomies in this new format. The endpoints for modifying content types and modifying content type snippets use the path parameter instead of the reference parameter. Currently you can use both parameters. After this change, the reference parameter will be deprecated and only path parameter will work. The endpoints that return paginated responses accept only the x-continuation header parameter for paging. The continuationToken query parameter will be deprecated. The URL slug element's mode{#section/URL-slug-element#}'s mode property is required instead of optional. When specifying elements in content type snippets using codename references, the element codename must be prefixed with the snippet codename. The stable version of the API will no longer accept non-prefixed codenames such as element_codename and requires prefixed codenames such as snippet_codename__element_codename. This is the same format as displayed in the UI when copying codenames of elements in snippets.

Changes to codenames of content items in the Management API

Wed, 27 Nov 2019 00:00:00 GMT

Added support for setting codenames when creating or updating content items via the Management API. To avoid breaking changes in version 1 of the API, updating the name property of an item causes the codename to autogenerate based on the new name. In version 2, the codename remains unchanged.

Components in Management API v2

Wed, 13 Nov 2019 00:00:00 GMT

Total count of items in Delivery API

Wed, 13 Nov 2019 00:00:00 GMT

Added support for retrieving total count of content items matching your query when listing content items via the Delivery API. To get the total number of items, use the includeTotalCount query parameter set to true in your request. This will cause the pagination object to include the total_count property with the total number of items. You can use the new property to build pagination mechanisms in your apps.

Changes to URL slug element model

Wed, 30 Oct 2019 00:00:00 GMT

The URL slug element in language variants{#section/URL-slug-element#} lets you specify the element's mode via the new mode property. With the mode property, you can programmatically choose whether the URL slug element's value is generated automatically or assigned manually.

Changes to content type and content type snippet PATCH requests

Wed, 16 Oct 2019 00:00:00 GMT

For Management API v2, PATCH requests to modify content types and content type snippets have been slightly modified to make references to given objects less ambiguous.

The property_name and reference parameters will continue to work for some time, but it is recommended to switch over to using the the path parameter.

Changes to references in taxonomy and language updates

Mon, 16 Sep 2019 00:00:00 GMT

The way PATCH operations to modify taxonomy groups and languages work with references has been changed. For the Modify a language endpoint, the reference body parameter has been removed. The operation will be applied to the language specified in the language_identifier path parameter. For the Modify taxonomy groups endpoint, the reference body parameter is optional for the replace and addInto operations.
