Content Studio 6.1 is now generally available, together with its extension Content Studio+ 2.1 and the Juke Content Operator 2.2.
NB! All three require Enonic XP 8.1 or newer.
What’s new in Content Studio 6.1
- Alt text generated by Juke. With Juke Content Operator installed and assigned to a site or project, Content Studio fills in the Alternative text field for every uploaded image, in the content’s language and following the WCAG guidelines for text alternatives. Existing alt text is never overwritten.
- Automatic template customization. A content type can now declare a special flag in its schema, and every new item of that type will open in the Page Editor with an editable copy of the resolved template instead of a locked page. Especially helpful in case of landing pages which need to be customized pretty much always.
- The theme switcher is back. Many of you asked for it after it was removed in 6.0.3, and it now lives in Settings, where it belongs. Pick light, dark or system theme, and your choice is stored in a way that other Enonic admin apps can follow, so the whole admin experience can share one theme.
- Editing on tablets and phones. The browse view got a navigation drawer, a preview panel and a sort dialog that work on small screens, and the content editor layout adapts to narrow screens.
- Accessibility. Keyboard navigation in dialogs, focus handling and contrast fixes across the application. This is a first milestone of the big project to achieve full compliance with WCAG 2.1 AA, which we hope to finish in Content Studio 6.2.
- Smaller things you will notice. Content type icons follow the color theme, parts and layouts can have custom icons, “Include child items” in the Publishing Wizard is now a toggle, and panel resizing is smoother.
Content Studio+ 2.1 brings a refreshed Publishing Report widget, an Archive toolbar that mirrors the browse toolbar, keyboard shortcuts and accessibility fixes, plus fixes in the Layers, Version History and Archive widgets.
Juke Content Operator 2.2 gets the new faster Gemini model, the alt text skill that powers the feature above, and friendlier, localized greeting and progress notifications.
Full details are in the Release notes.
Complete changelogs are on GitHub: Content Studio 6.1.0, Content Studio+ 2.1.0 and Juke Content Operator 2.2.0.
