• Easy field renaming

  Changes in: app mapi Permalink

  In the past changing a field name required you to run a content migration script to move the content from the old field to the new one. Now you can just rename the field and all your existing content will be migrated to the new field automatically in the background.

  

  How to prepare your code for the migration

  If your project is already live you need to include a logic in your code to render both fields during the renaming process. Following an example in Vue.js (assuming you rename family_name to last_name:

  <h2 v-if="blok.family_name">{{ blok.family_name }}</h2>
  <h2 v-if="blok.last_name">{{ blok.last_name }}</h2>

• Force overwriting in dimensions

  Changes in: app mapi Permalink

  A new setting in the schema configuration now let's you explicitly define fields that will get overwritten by using the "Merge" button of the Dimensions app.

  The behaviour of the merge action has also been changed to not overwrite any existing values of the target content item.

  

• Multiple Values for Block Preview

  Changes in: app Permalink

  With this option you can define a template that gets rendered in the blocks field. This lets you show multiple values from your content as preview in the sidebar. Find out more about it at the documentation about schema configuration.

  

• Default value for multi-options

  Changes in: app Permalink

  You can now set a Default Value for multi-options with the following schema:

  [ "your_first_value", "your_second_value", "third", ... ]
  

• CDN cache invalidation image service

  Changes in: app Permalink

  

  This new functionality enables you to do up to 1000 cache invalidations per month for free. All subscribers of the Basic, Advanced or Premium plan can find the field in the space settings area.

• Workflow indicator on list view

  Changes in: app mapi Permalink

  We’ve now added the workflow stage indicator directly on the list view of content by using the indicator colors for each entry.

  

• Automatic Branch Deployment

  Changes in: app Permalink

  Releases can now be configured to initiate an automatic branch deployment. Requirements: The user role needs to have the right “Allow deploying content” enabled.

  

• Introducing workflow stages

  Changes in: app api mapi Permalink

  Content production in enterprises sometimes requires strict workflows to make sure that every team member gets involved.

  

  With Storyblok Workflow and Workflow Stages you’re now able to use different stages like Drafting, Reviewing, or Ready for Publish. On higher plans you’re also able to define your custom stages.

  Read more about how to set-up your workflows and workflow stages right now: Workflow Documentation.

• Improved performance of spaces/me call

  Changes in: api Permalink

  If you are calling the endpoint api.storyblok.com/v1/cdn/spaces/me before every page rendering to get the cache version we have good news for your. The call just got 1000 times faster with a 2 second CDN cache. This reduces also the risk to run in a rate limit error. To make sure that static website builds are getting the right version the webhook executions got delayed by 2 seconds too.

• Root Asset Folder Permissions

  Changes in: app Permalink

  You can now select specific asset folder to give users access to. All other folders and assets of those folders will be available for selection but can not be moved, replaced, deleted or modified. Users with restricted folder permissions will only be able to upload and manage folder in that one base folder ideally for asset management for multiple markets.

  

• Custom Locales for Field Level Translations

  Changes in: api app mapi Permalink

  Allows custom language and locales in field level translations. Locales are of min length 2 or max length 8.

  

• Onboarding Update

  Changes in: app Permalink

  We’ve updated the onboarding dialog, away from a an overlay floating above the “Home” entry to a three step onboarding introducing you to the demo entry, how to create new folders and to create your own entries. You can try it yourself by creating a new space.

  

• Export and Import App Moved to Tools Tab

  Changes in: app Permalink

  The functionality of the import and export apps has been moved from the “Config” tab to the “Tools” tab.

  

• Field Type Translation Import Improvements

  Changes in: mapi Permalink

  In the past using the import and export app didn’t work quite well for users using the field type translation feature.

  With this update we improved the export and import functionality of field type translations.

  Improvements

  • When exporting from the target language (not default language) only fields that are defined as “Translateable” are exported.
  • The translation keys are the same in every target language (i18n codes have been removed).
  • The exported file contains all content from the default language.
  • When importing the translated file back the fields of the target language will be filled out.

  The recommended workflow is like following:

  1. Beginn by filling in content in the default language.
  2. Select the language you want to translate from the menu bar.
  3. Go to the config tab of the content item and click export.
  4. Use the exported file in the translation tool of your choice to translate the default language to your target language.
  5. Import the translated language using the import button with the target language selected from the menu bar.

• Published & Unpublished Webhook moved to free plan

  Changes in: app api Permalink

  As you might already have noticed we’re sponsor at the first ever Zeit Hackathon and to enable you to build amazing integrations and connectors we’ve moved the server side webhooks of Storyblok that can be used to trigger builds, cache clearing and anything else that you want on publish and unpublish events into the free plan. Not only for a limited amount of time, but forever for all your spaces!

  

• Default language translation label

  Changes in: app Permalink

  We’ve added another feature that has been requested by many of you that use our field level translations. It is now possible to enter a custom label for the “Default” language in your space settings.

  

• Language permissions

  Changes in: app mapi Permalink

  It’s now possible to add permissions for specific languages using roles. This let’s you for example control the access of a translator which will only be able to edit specific languages.

  

• Fixes Norwegian language parsing

  Changes in: api Permalink

  Fixes an issue that caused customers to receive a 404 or no results in collections on /no/ routes if the field level translation was used to define multiple languages.

• Backwards text fix

  Changes in: app Permalink

  Some of you have noticed that sometimes the mouse cursor got stuck in the iframe causing your text field inputs being backwards.

  If you would have typed hello the outcome would be olleh, which was connected to that issue. Sometimes, Chrome kept the focus of your cursor inside the iframe resulting in your cursor being fixed on the left side. We’ve now introduced a fix for that, which removes that bug for Storyblok.

• Form Only Improvements, Quick Switch, Schema Definition Updates

  Changes in: app Permalink

  With our latest release, we’ve launched some new features and improved form only experience of Storyblok.

  Form Only with expandable components

  The form only just got so much better with our expandable components, allowing you to not only navigate through your components but also to quickly expand some of them without navigating into them.

  

  Config, Status and Tools

  We’ve moved the top navigation to a tab navigation in the sidebar to introduce two new sections. Status which will be improved over the next couple of months into a Workflow feature. and Tools which will allow you to build a new type of apps to trigger tasks and/or the best place to integrate translation systems.

  

  Mobile Preview now in Preview URL bar

  

  Creating new Components

  Create new components in the new sidebar right in your compose mode or in the components menu.

  

  Defining new Fields

  After sending out surveys to randomly picked customers we’ve now switched the order of new keys being added to your components, no need to reorder them all over again and again, they are not added at the bottom of your fields.

  

• Lookahead and collaborator invite

  Changes in: app Permalink

  We’ve removed the invite new users to your space feature for an undefined amount of time.

  To invite new users to your space, you will have them create their account on our signup form first. You can also register the account for them by defining their password. They will be able to change the password once their are logged in at their profile page.

  1. Sign up their account in our Sign-up Page. (You need to be logged out to reach that site, otherwise you will be redirected)
  2. Add them as collaborator
  3. Have them change their password

• New Feature: Component Groups

  Changes in: mapi app Permalink

  With component groups you will be able to add a virtual structure to your list of components. This will make the organization within components easier.

  

  Besides the better organization of components adding a specific group as whitelist to the blocks field type, so one would not need to update block fields if a new component is introduced and a group is used for restrictions.

  

• Plugin subdomain for custom fields

  Changes in: app Permalink

  Plugins have received their custom subdomain for Storyblok so they no longer can access the app.storyblok.com context from within the field type. This was necessary to not allow field types to access localstorage and other app.storyblok.com information that are not intended to be shared with the plugins.

  Please update your configurations to whitelist plugins.storyblok.com rather than app.storyblok.com since all API calls will be done by that domain starting with 30.04.2019.

• Improved multi browser tab title naming

  Changes in: app Permalink

  Feature Request: “Add space name into browser tab title. If you have opened multiple different spaces is hard to differ between the tabs. :) Thx! This small change would help a lot ;)”

  We’ve added the space name, plugin names, route names, and other useful information for all of you that love to life in multiple browser tabs.
