Visual Editor now includes two enhancements that help you manage permissions and control how content is published.
Request Edit Access
You can request edit access when you do not have permission to modify an entry. The Request Edit Access option appears in the Form and canvas views.
Submit a request with an optional comment. Approvers can review the request and approve or reject it from the Status panel. It allows you to continue your workflow without switching tools or contacting approvers separately.
For more information, see the Request Edit Access documentation.
Publish With or Without References
You can choose to publish entries with or without references. During publishing, select whether to include all referenced items or only the selected entry.
This option helps you control how updates are deployed. For example, publish a specific change without affecting linked content, or include all dependencies to maintain consistency across pages.
We’ve introduced major improvements to the Trados app to enhance your experience and provide better visibility into translation projects.

Project creation remains the same, with the following enhancements:
Note: The Stack Dashboard UI location will be deprecated soon.
During app configuration, enable Reference Handling to automatically include referenced assets in translated releases, ensuring all nested content is localized.
To learn more, refer to the Trados App Installation Guide.
We’ve added new enhancements to the Bynder app:

We’ve introduced a new way to control how Live Preview generates preview links. Instead of relying only on static environment base URLs or entry-level URL fields, you can now define dynamic, pattern-based preview URLs that resolve at runtime using entry data, environment, locale, or taxonomy values.
You can now preview content that uses non-native URL fields, nested routing, taxonomy-driven URLs, or multiple domains. The same content can be previewed across regional domains or environments without duplicating entries or manually updating URLs.
With Custom Preview URLs, Live Preview reflects your real site structure more accurately, reducing broken or incorrect previews.
To get started, see the Custom Preview URLs in Live Preview documentation.

Drafts and Auto Save help protect your work while editing entries in the entry editor.
Autosave automatically saves your changes as you edit, so if your browser crashes, you close a tab, or the page refreshes, your work is preserved. When you're ready to commit your changes, clicking Save creates a new official version.
When multiple users work on the same entry, Drafts and Auto Save helps maintain a structured editing experience:
For more information, refer to the Drafts and Auto Save documentation.

You can now add entries to a release directly from Visual Editor. Add a single entry while editing a page or select multiple entries in bulk.
Instead of navigating from the Entries module, content managers can prepare and organize content for deployment without leaving the visual page editing interface.
For example, if you update multiple components on a landing page, you can quickly select all related entries and add them to a release in one flow, helping teams coordinate launches more efficiently.

This release delivers usability improvements that make stack management, content modeling, and entry workflows faster and more intuitive.
Together, these enhancements streamline everyday tasks, reduce context switching, and make working across stacks and entries more intuitive.
Here’s an overview of the latest updates in Contentstack Launch:
As part of our ongoing commitment to strengthening webhook security, we are deprecating the legacy X-Contentstack-Signature header used in legacy webhook responses.
We have upgraded our webhook security infrastructure to provide a more robust and standardized way of verifying data integrity. As part of our commitment to protecting your data, we have moved away from legacy secret keys to a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) using the RSA-PSS algorithm. This ensures that your endpoints can verify the authenticity of Contentstack payloads with industry-standard cryptographic signatures.
What’s Changing?
Important: The legacy X-Contentstack-Signature header is now deprecated and will be officially decommissioned in 30 days. To avoid any disruption to your webhook services, update your webhook listeners.

We’ve renamed Visual Builder to Visual Editor to better reflect how the experience is used today.
As the product has evolved, its core value has become clearer; this is where teams review, edit, and refine content visually. From making updates and previewing changes to validating content before it goes live, editing is at the heart of the experience. The new name aligns more accurately with what users actually do every day.
Note: This is a name change only. All functionality, workflows, and access remain the same, and no action is required from existing users. You may see Visual Editor referenced across the product documentation where Visual Builder previously appeared.
We’re excited to announce that Contentstack’s home screen and top navigation are now generally available to all users. After a successful early access phase, the legacy navigation experience has been fully sunset, making way for a smarter, cleaner, and more intuitive way to work across the platform.
What’s new?
These enhancements are now generally available to all users.
Log in to Contentstack to explore the new look and feel today. For more information, refer to our documentation.
We’ve rolled out a series of powerful security enhancements to give you more control over your account and safeguard your Contentstack experience. From streamlined session management to smarter MFA workflows and proactive alerts, these updates are designed to keep your account more secure, without adding friction to your workflow.
Key Enhancements
These updates are part of our ongoing commitment to delivering a secure and seamless experience. Stay tuned, more improvements are on the way!
You can now manage entries directly from the Form panel in Visual Builder—without leaving the editing experience. In addition to editing fields, the Form panel now lets you import and export entries as JSON, rename entry versions, unlocalize localized entries, and delete entries.
These enhancements reduce context switching and make common entry management tasks faster and more intuitive. Content managers can import and export content, manage localization, and organize versions while viewing changes in real-time on the canvas.
For example, you can export an entry for reuse, import updated JSON to create a new version, or unlocalize an entry to revert to inherited content, all from the same panel.
To learn more, refer to the Visual Builder Form documentation, for detailed guidance on each entry management action.
You can now indent and outdent content in both the JSON Rich Text Editor and HTML-based Rich Text Editor, allowing you to visually offset paragraphs and headings with a click or keyboard shortcut (Tab and Shift + Tab).
This feature follows standard editor and accessibility behavior. The Indentation icon is added to the Rich Text Editor toolbar by default, including for existing content types.
For more information, refer to the Basic Formatting in JSON RTE and HTML-based Rich Text Editor documentation.
We’ve introduced an update that gives you more flexibility when duplicating entries in Contentstack. When copying an entry, you can now choose to copy only the current locale or all locales. If you copy the current locale from a non-master locale, Contentstack also includes its fallback content. This makes it easier to reuse content based on your workflow, whether you’re working in a single locale or duplicating content across all locales.
Learn more about Copy Localized Entries.
Stop wasting traffic on underperforming content. With Multi-Armed Bandit (MAB), Personalize now offers an automated way to manage your A/B test traffic.
Instead of manually monitoring tests or waiting weeks to declare a winner, MAB acts as an autopilot for your experiments. It detects which variant is driving the most conversions and automatically shifts more traffic to that winner, instantly.
With MAB, you can:
Note: MAB optimizes traffic flow, but it does not change your experiment’s conclusion rules. Test duration and winner declaration follow the same settings as your standard A/B Test experiences.

Here’s an overview of the latest updates in Contentstack Launch:
Organization admins and owners can now manually unlock user accounts that have been locked due to excessive failed login attempts. This update allows for immediate account recovery directly from the Administration > Users tab, eliminating the need to contact support.
What’s New:
Note: The Unlock User option will not be available if the user is an org owner or belongs to multiple organizations, reach out to support to unlock your account.
This update empowers admins to resolve lockouts independently, ensuring secure and uninterrupted access for the entire team.
Read the Unlock Users document for more information.
We’ve introduced an update that makes navigating complex content structures more intuitive in Contentstack.
You can now mark any supported field inside a Modular Block or within a Global field marked as Multiple in a content type as its display title, making it easier to distinguish within the entry editor.
Learn more about Mark as Title.

Here’s an overview of the latest updates in Contentstack Launch:
You can now localize taxonomies and terms per locale, ensuring consistent structure across locales and branches. The new Taxonomy Localization feature allows you to display taxonomy terms in multiple languages without duplicating the hierarchy. Localizations can be applied to the entire taxonomy or specific terms directly from the Taxonomy Details page.
Each market can use localized labels for clarity, while administrators retain centralized control. Localization fallbacks ensure seamless behavior across branches and environments.
Key Benefits:
Learn how to enable and use this feature in our Taxonomy Localization documentation.
Note: Taxonomy Localization is a plan-based feature. Contact our support team to enable it for your organization. This feature is currently available for CMA use only. Publishing localized taxonomy names and terms to CDA is coming soon. You can begin preparing your localized structures now, but localized values will not appear in published content until publishing support is released.
Organization owners and admins can now reset Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for users—helping restore access when someone loses their authentication app or switches devices.
What’s New
Refer to Organization Users and Bulk Operations on Organization Users for more information.
Introducing Allowed Email Domains—a new security enhancement that gives organization owners and admins tighter control over who can be added to their organization. This feature lets you define which email domains are permitted, ensuring only trusted users gain access.
Key Highlights:
By implementing this feature, you reinforce your organization’s security posture and ensure that only authorized enterprise users are granted access, supporting a Zero Trust model from the very first step.
Ready to tighten your access controls? Head to Administration > Security Configuration to get started. Read our documentation for more information.
We’re introducing Advanced Settings in Developer Hub, a powerful new way for Apps to integrate with external APIs securely and efficiently, without the need for a custom backend. With this feature, developers can now store, manage, and inject sensitive credentials directly within Contentstack Apps, enabling seamless and secure integrations.
Key Capabilities:
You can now streamline and secure your app integrations using these new configuration options in Developer Hub:
Advanced Settings eliminates the need for custom backend systems by enabling developers to manage external API interactions entirely within Contentstack. It simplifies secure integration with services like AI models, analytics platforms, and third-party SaaS APIs.
Learn more about Advanced Settings and Build an App With Advanced Settings in Developer Hub.
As teams strive to deliver personalized digital experiences faster, traditional handoffs often slow them down. Studio is a visual experience builder that bridges the gap between design, development, and content composition. Studio integrates seamlessly with Contentstack’s CMS, empowering teams to compose dynamic experiences backed by structured content.
Key Highlights:
For example, a marketing user can update a homepage hero banner or create a campaign page using pre-approved components, all while maintaining design system guardrails and data integrity.
This results in faster iteration, reduced developer dependency, and consistent brand experiences.
Note: Studio is launching in Early Access and will be rolled out to customers in phases. Contact the support team to get access.

We’ve introduced new capabilities and enhancements to the Salesforce Commerce app:
To learn more, refer to the Salesforce Commerce App Installation Guide.
We’ve rolled out three major updates to help teams improve governance, compliance, and editing efficiency in Contentstack, ensuring greater control, accountability, and ease of use across the content lifecycle.
Maintain integrity in your review process with the new Prevent Self-Advancement option. When enabled, the user who last edited or updated an entry cannot move it to the next workflow stage, even if they’re assigned to that stage.
This enforces independent validation at each stage, ensuring that no one can advance their own work without review.
Learn more about the Prevent Self-Advancement option.
Strengthen publishing governance with the Prevent Self-Approval control. When enabled, the user who last edited or updated an entry cannot approve or publish it, even if they’re listed as an approver.
This ensures that every publishing action is verified by at least two unique users, supporting dual-approval principles and reducing compliance risks.
Learn more about the Prevent Self-Approval option.
Make large entries easier to manage with Show as Tab, a new toggle for root-level fields such as Group, Modular Block, and Global fields. When enabled, these fields appear as separate tabs in the entry editor, helping editors navigate complex content types faster.
Tabs reduce scrolling, improve focus, and enhance load times without affecting your API structure.
Note: The Entry Tab is a plan-based feature and may not be accessible to all users. For more information or to request access, contact our support team.
Learn more about the Show as Tab field property and Working with Entry Tabs.
The Shopify Live Preview feature enables Contentstack Live Preview within Shopify Liquid themes, allowing editors to preview real-time storefront changes without publishing or reloading the page. This integration ensures seamless synchronization between your CMS and Shopify Liquid theme, helping you validate updates instantly.
With instant previews, this feature streamlines content workflows and minimizes publishing errors. Editors and developers can confidently review storefront updates, including Product and non-Product pages, before deployment.
A new Master Metaobject setup ensures consistent data access and smooth Live Preview behavior across all page types.
Note: The Shopify Live Preview is a plan-based feature and may not be accessible to all users. For more information or to request access, contact our support team.

We’ve introduced three powerful capabilities to streamline content modeling and data management:
These updates improve efficiency, ensure consistency, and give you greater precision in managing content.
You can now compare two versions of a content type schema side by side. Once a content type has at least two saved versions, a Compare Versions button appears.
The comparison view highlights schema changes with tags such as Added, Deleted, and Modified, and includes filters to quickly focus on specific types of updates.
This makes it easier to track changes to your content models over time. For example, spotting when a new field is added or a validation rule is updated, helping teams review and approve schema updates before publishing.
