For the convenience of editors, pages with subpages, i.e. page hierarchies as a whole, can now be duplicated, obviating the need to copy and then paste the pages individually.

Duplicating parent pages
Email address as a tooltip when hovering over a user’s name
For identifying users better, hovering over a user’s name now causes their email address to be displayed as a tooltip.
Automatic linking of URLs in attribute descriptions and validation messages
To be able to assist editors better, URLs in attribute descriptions and validation messages are now automatically converted to links.
Easier to read date values
For dates like “first published” or “last changed”, their absolute value instead of the relative one is now displayed if they are more than a month ago.
Further improvements
Minimizing the amount of markup when rendering
The
Scrivito.ContentTagcomponent usually unconditionally renders the markup for the pieces of content (i.e. the attributes) passed to it. Using the newcontentTagsForEmptyAttributesconfiguration option, you can now prevent markup from being generated for empty attribute values, resulting in a smaller footprint.
Improved TypeScript support
TypeScript now suggests the value of the
attributeto be passed in, and checks its type. See Getting Started with TypeScript for details.
Passing an object or widget class to editing configurations
The
provideEditingConfigAPI method now also directly accepts a CMS object or widget class (and not just its name). This enables TypeScript to determine the attributes of the class concerned.
API for determining a widget’s child widgets
For easier access to the widgets contained in structure widgets (e.g. box widgets), the
Widget#widgets()instance method has been provided. It returns a flat list of a widget’s direct and indirect subwidgets.
Support for loadable components
The Scrivito SDK now supports loadable components (
@loadable/component) as extensions to properties views. “Loadable” lets you render a dynamically imported component like a regular one.
Fixed bugs
- In properties dialogs, it is no longer possible to discard the changes that were made to an attribute if it has been disabled.
Thank you for using Scrivito!
