What's Changed for Authors
- Automatic listings:
- An automatic listing of Featured News/Events shows an H3 title on a Basic page. However, it retains its H2 title on a Landing page.
- When an automatic listing of Featured News/Events is included in the body of a Basic page with "Display the 'On this page...' table of contents" checked, the auto listing will not appear in the table of contents.
Promos:
- When you add a promo to a landing page, the "Default" display mode is there. But itβs not very helpful. The "Default" option has now been removed from the layout builder for promos.
With the addition of a new feature called "Video Promo," we will no longer support mixed promos that include both images and videos. Instead, we will now only allow separate, explicit image promos and video promos.
- Qualtrics: In some very niche situations, when a user had "Adblock" turned off, the embed code could not be displayed as a media library embed. Now, there is a direct link to the external item.
- YouTube: A YouTube video shows at a 16:9 ratio when set to "Full" size. This happens when itβs placed in one of the main content types.
- Behind the scenes: Recent updates have focused on enhancing the DX Platform. The goal is to make it more user-friendly and easier to navigate. Some of these updates include:
- Accessibility: Many pages had issues with "color-contrast" accessibility. The text didn't stand out enough against the backgrounds. After updating the code, the accessibility scores now pass.
- Media Library: Previously, an individual Media library item appeared twice for authors. Now, it appears only once.
