This is a highlight overview of all features that have been released in releases 207-222
๐จ Dashboard & CMS Evolution
The first new CMS modules were introduced early 2025. While mainly focussed on โsimpleโ data modules, as the year progressed more and more new UX patterns started to emerge. Boosted by the new Wayfinding, the new CMS gained a lot of features and possibilities. Detail sliders were added, a brand new image gallery, and smart filtering within lists. Later in the year, complex modules like Productions and Pages/Stories were introduced. Currently approximately 60% of CMS modules are available in the new CMS. The goal is to complete the transition in 2026.
