Thank you to all of our customers that helped point out parity issues between the legacy Zesty.io content editor and the new React/API-based Content Editor. Below we list a summary of changes and update made since the Monday night release of the new content editor.
Change Log from 1.9.19 - 1.11.19
Organized by Area
Table View
Tables can be sorted by column header
Tables have memory for the sort and search state they were in, so when you jump around in content and return back to the table, your sort/search position will be retained
Tables show published and unpublished states appropriately
An empty state appears when filters do not find items, with a clear buttons
Table columns now abide by their Sort and "Show in Table" option
Content Creation & Content Saving & Content Publishing
Canonical Tags default to ON
Path Part Checking is now set to be unique to the parent, giving you the option to have multiple of the same path parts with different parents
Clearer Publish state indicators were added to the editing experience
Unpublishing a page now behaves as expected, by purging the CDN. Allowing a page to unpublish immediately.
Date/Time no longer converts to UTC on save, but saves what the user chooses
A page settings now correctly show the parent path as selected
On save if a required field is empty it is scrolled to
WYSIWYG Editor
We have added a "Cmd + k" / "Ctrl + k" keyboard shortcut for turning selected text into a link
Removing all content from the WYSIWYG editor now properly removes all unseen html. Allowing empty string checks to function as intended.
Markdown Types saves as Markdown, before it saved as WYSIWYG HTML
Dashboard
Google Charts are now ordered by their proper dates
Google Charts output date to match international standards
Code Editor
Text was returned to original size
Global Environment / Inputs
Yes/No Toggle now triggers a state change
Yes/No Toggle redesigned to work in both usage modes
Tags now link to their associated editable pages
URLs for live links respect WWW and SSL settings
Expired sessions now trigger a login modal prompt when attempting to save content (as it was in legacy)
Cache Management
Sites “Purging All” cache on save (previously single page purges were occurring on save with the new release)
Deleting an item purges the cache
