Editable Regions, Font Control and Scheduled Publishing

• Product Detail Pages (PDPs) for ecommerce: You can now have dynamic product pages that have unique, visually editable regions — all without having to manually create these pages in Makeswift.
• Builtin elements across your site: Define built-in elements, like headers and footers, that are visually editable and shared across multiple pages, but can’t be deleted from the Makeswift editor. This gives teams control to update content while maintaining the integrity and consistency of the design.



These APIs also have first-class support for localization, so you can edit across your site’s locales with ease.



How it works: Your developer will need to use the new getComponentSnapshot and <MakeswiftComponent> APIs to set up your pages to be editable. If your developer has completed this, you can simply navigate to these pages in Makeswift and start editing without touching any code. If not, you’ll just need your developer’s help to configure the pages. See our docs for more details.



We’ve introduced a new Font control that allows users to select and manage fonts outside of rich text fields. Using the Font control, developers can now give site editors a visual interface to customize font family, style, and weight in any context.



We are also releasing a new ‘Group’ control that will replace ‘Shape’. This ‘Group’ control offers an improved visual hierarchy for grouped controls when rendered in the Makeswift builder, along with new options for specifying the group label and preferred layout. For more details, check out our docs.



The ability to schedule a set of changes to your site to go out at a later time is now available. It works similarly to our normal publishing workflow, but with the ability to set a time.



Our “Scheduled” section of the publish dialog allows you to expand, rename, cancel, or publish immediately a scheduled publish.





While you can schedule multiple publishes at a time, we do not recommend publishing different versions of the same page across multiple scheduled publishes, as it can get confusing.

We believe this feature is most useful for marketing launches and blog posts, but we look forward to hearing how you use it.
