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.

Learn more in our Content Type Versioning documentation.

We’ve introduced three powerful capabilities to streamline content modeling and data management:

The XTM app now supports Content Types Bulk Translate, allowing you to send all entries across multiple content types for translation in just a few clicks.

This update streamlines localization workflows by enabling bulk translation of entire websites, reducing manual effort and improving scalability. It also includes enhanced error handling and validation for large translation requests.

To learn more, refer to the XTM App Installation Guide.

We’ve enhanced how the system handles variant names within a variant group to ensure uniqueness and data integrity.

What’s changed:

• Existing duplicate variant names (created simultaneously in the past) are now automatically renamed:
  • The variant created first retains its original name.
  • Subsequent duplicates are renamed using numbered suffixes.
  • For example, if multiple variants with the same name (e.g., homepage-banner) exist, they will now appear as:
    • homepage-banner
    • homepage-banner_(1)
    • homepage-banner_(2)
• New variants can no longer be created with a name that already exists within the same variant group, even across different sessions. If a variant with the same name already exists in that group, the system will prevent its creation.

These changes ensure consistent and conflict-free variant naming for existing and future data.

Bug Fix:

• Resolved a “Request-URI Too Large” error for requests with long URLs.

Here’s an overview of the latest updates in Contentstack Launch:
