We’re pleased to announce some really useful updates including being able to control Page level access (who can see specific pages), big improvements to Categories and lots of Studio updates in v1.6!

Page level Admin User Role Permissions

You can now control who can see which pages either with some default settings or granular per-page control.

In Portal on the Configuration tab for each site you can now set Default User Roles for Pages:

This is useful if by default you want all pages to only be visible to certain roles.

You can also set or override this at a Page level giving you total granular control:

You might have some pages that have complex code or that you just don’t want certain users to edit. You can now control this as required.

Categories - Custom Fields

Custom Fields have proved extremely powerful in various areas of Siteglide, we’re pleased to bring this to Categories. This opens up opportunities to use Categories as part of a complex/bespoke site setup.

Categories - Drag & Drop Organisation

Another important feature that makes categories even more useful day to day: The ability to re-order items using drag and drop functionality. You have total control to re-order items across the various levels of hierarchy.

Studio v1.6

This release has some small but important improvements on our official launch of Studio (as it’s no longer in Beta) but also the first phase of Dynamic Layouts for Studio! Let’s take a look:

Dynamic Layouts for Studio

This is just the first phase of Dynamic Layouts, we focused on being able to insert compatible Layouts and interact with them in Studio. The next phase is to be able to create/install them, currently this would still be done via SiteBuilder.

With this first release you can insert any installed layouts:

Improved Studio Implementation of Cloudflare Images

You can now select a specific size to insert into layouts into Section Builder:

In the above example this would insert the following tag:

{% include 'img', path: item.image, width: 800, layout: 'default/base' %}

Filter by Category in Mapping UI

You can now filter by category when using dynamic content with a Static Studio Layout:

This allows you to dynamically control the content that appears based on categorisation.

Image selector button for Section Builder

Minor but handy, you can now select images in Section Builder as well as in Pages:

Adding an item to a list should take you to the item

It’s now much clearer when you add an item to a list as it’ll load the new item. A simple but important UX improvement.

Option to use 'Item 1 etc' for List names

Sometimes a List doesn’t have a field that would have a friendly name to use in the List of items, in this case you can now simply not select a field and it’ll show ‘Item {{number}}’.

We have some big new features coming to Studio for the next release, please do give us feedback and add any feature request ideas.
