Features & Improvements

Permission Groups

• You now determine what actions a team member can perform within your Organization by assigning them to a Permission Group. Every team member in your Organization must be a member of at least one Group.
• Each Permission Group contains a set of permissions. CloudCannon will allow an action if a team member has permission from at least one Permission Group.
• A Permission consists of a list of resources and the scope those resources apply to.
  • A resource is something you can interact with in CloudCannon (e.g., a Site, Pull Requests, Settings, Billing, etc.). Each resource also defines how a Group member can interact with that resource (i.e., the capacity to Read, Write, or Create a resource).
  • Scope defines how broadly a permission is applied (e.g., a permission with a Site scope will only apply to a specific Site, whereas a permission with a Global scope will apply to the entire Organization).
• CloudCannon provides several Default Permission Groups with the same name and functionality as our old "permission levels". These include:
  • Four Permission Groups with a Global scope (Owners, Developers, Technical Editors, and Editors).
  • Two Permission Groups per Site, each with a Site scope for Site Sharing (Technical Editors and Editors).
  • One Permission Group per Site with a Site scope for Client Sharing.
• CloudCannon has migrated all your team members into the appropriate Permission Group based on their previous "permission level."

• Fixed an issue where CloudCannon failed to respect the "extra prefix" option when searching and uploading to larger DAMs.
• Fixed an issue where you could not see non-image files in a Cloudinary DAM via the CloudCannon browser.
• Fixed an issue where copying a link from Google Docs would add a <u> tag.
• Fixed an issue where quotation marks would be replaced by ".
• Fixed an issue where Hugo hardWraps was false by default. The hardWraps key will now match your Hugo config file.
• Fixed an issue where bolding text in the Content Editor would cause unexpected behavior.
• Fixed an issue where the Verify Email form could sometimes be submitted twice in quick succession, causing an error.
• Fixed an issue where saving new files would, in some cases, prevent you from resolving conflicting updates.
• Fixed an issue where, in some cases, structures would been hidden in the Data Editor.
• Updated dependencies to patch security vulnerabilities.

This release addressed several issues, including those affecting publishing to posts in Jekyll, image duplication in the Visual Editor, embeds, the conflicting updates warning, and new files.

Features & Improvements:

• Added more options for handling HTML or Markdown structure that cannot be recreated in the rich text editor.
  • The allow_custom_markup key allows you to edit custom markup in rich text editors and explicitly accept the risk of unintentionally deleting elements that cannot be recreated.
  • The remove_custom_markup key will strip custom markup from content edited in a rich text editor, allowing you to clean files of unnecessary HTML content.
  • The remove_custom_markup key is disabled if allow_custom_markup is enabled.
  • You can define these keys anywhere you would configure a rich text toolbar. By default, allow_custom_markup is false for inputs and true for editable regions, and remove_custom_markup is false for inputs and editable regions.
  • You can configure both keys using the configuration GUI.
  • When using allow_custom_markup outside of editable regions, content that uses JavaScript will not be editable for security reasons. These inputs will appear as uneditable snippets.
  • For more information, please read our documentation on best practices for HTML in rich text and editable regions.
• You can now add documentation links to checkboxes and switches.
• You can now copy your build log using the Copy output button in the build modal, on the Status page, and in the Builds history tab.
• You can now specify a custom URL for your dashboard preview screenshot using editor.default_path in your global configuration file.
• The View output button is now available while your build is optimizing assets.
• The embeds tool in the WYSIWYG toolbar now opens a code editor instead of a text area.
• Invalid editable regions will now preserve their original content and have better error messaging.

Fixes:

• Fixed an issue where cloning or renaming a file from within an editing interface would not immediately open the cloned or renamed file.
• Fixed an issue where, on a Jekyll site, publishing a file to posts would not prompt you to add a date to the filename.
• Fixed an issue where, in the Visual Editor, updating the details for an image would cause the image panel to close.
• Fixed an issue where the Context menu for array and object inputs would show "Add undefined" instead of "Add item" for structures with no label configured.
• Fixed a spacing issue affecting arrays in the Data Editor.
• Fixed an issue where image panels would open in the wrong place.
• Fixed an issue where screen readers would lose focus every time a new line appeared in the terminal.
• Fixed an issue where you could not scroll a data file on devices with a smaller screen.
• Fixed an issue where the Data Editor would return to the top of the file when you changed data level.
• Fixed an issue where, for image inputs with resize configured, CloudCannon would unnecessarily duplicate images that already matched the specified height and width.
• Fixed an issue where, on branches that had a file with the same name as the branch, git pulls would not work.
• Fixed an issue preventing you from pushing local changes to a new branch.
• Fixed an issue where opening a file in an editing interface would automatically add focus to the first input.
• Fixed an issue where opening a file in an editing interface would trigger a change to that file without you updating any content.
• Fixed an issue where discarding your unsaved changes would not dismiss the conflicting updates warning.
• Fixed an issue where switching between editing interfaces on new files would create a second new file.
• Fixed an issue that sometimes prevented editable regions from loading for new files in the Visual Editor.
• Fixed an issue where embeds would delete their content.
• Improved output clarity by removing data-cms-embed.
• Improved consistency of icon colors in the WYSIWYG toolbar.

Yesterday's release (New CloudCannon editing interface!) contained the following update:

• HTML elements that cannot be recreated in the rich text editor (e.g., div tags) will now appear as uneditable Snippets. This prevents you from unintentionally deleting unsupported HTML elements from your file.

The rationale for this update was to protect your content from someone unintentionally deleting custom markup. As CloudCannon cannot render custom markup in the rich text editor, there is a risk that someone could accidentally backspace or delete it. This risk was present in previous versions of the editing interface, and yesterday's release intended to address this.

We understand that this change caused several concerns for some of our customers. We apologize for any interruptions to your work caused by this change and are committed to creating a better experience for customers who rely on custom markup.

We have created a more permissive experience for sites using custom markup. This release allows you to edit the content within your editable regions in line with the editing experience available before yesterday's release. Some markup remains uneditable, but now it looks more like your live site and does not appear as an uneditable Snippet.

We are also creating a feature for HTML inputs in the sidebar of the Visual and Content Editor and the Data Editor. Sites that rely on custom markup in these places will have access to an "unsafe editing mode", allowing you to explicitly accept the risk of unintentionally deleting elements that cannot be recreated.

If you want to reduce any risk to your site, we recommend reviewing the placement of your editable regions or creating custom Snippets so your team can add, remove, and edit custom markup without the risk of losing your content.

At CloudCannon, we are committed to providing the best support experience possible. Please contact our support team if you have any questions or concerns about this issue. We are happy to assist in any way we can.

This release also added support for WebP as a MIME-type format and a flag allowing Clients to use the Legacy Editor.

It also addressed several issues affecting image previews, Snippets, site backups, and the Legacy Editor.

Features & Improvements:

• Added a more permissible editing experience for custom markup in editable regions.
• CloudCannon now supports WebP as a MIME type format.
• Added a site flag to allow Clients to use the Legacy Editor.

Fixes:

• Fixed an issue where, when an image URL contained a fragment, the image preview would not load.
• Fixed an issue where tabbing to the drag indicator on a Snippet and pressing enter would replace the Snippet with a new line.
• Fixed an issue where the Snippet controls would not appear if the Snippet was the first element in a file.
• Fixed an issue where open editing sessions with no unsaved changes would prevent Legacy Editor users from making changes.
• Fixed an issue where site backups would always include the .git folder, even when explicitly excluded.
• Additional error handling was added to prevent an issue where the Update status indicator would continuously loop.
• Updated dependencies to patch security vulnerabilities.

Editing in CloudCannon is now a collaborative experience where multiple users can create content together. We’ve improved how our editing interfaces look and function. We’ve also introduced avatars to various places within the app so you can see who is editing what in real time.

Thank you to everyone who assisted in our most successful Beta yet. Your feedback has been helpful, and all known issues have been addressed.

The Legacy editing interface is still available for a short amount of time. CloudCannon will provide support for the Legacy editing interface until March 29th, 2024. If you have any feedback about this change, please get in touch with our support team.

Editing interface improvements

<comp.DocsImage path="https://cc-dam.imgix.net/documentation/images/change-log/2024-Q1/Updated-Editor/CloudCannon-Changelog-Mar2024-Editing-Interface-Improvements.png" alt="The updated editing interface navigation includes many new features to improve your editing experience." title="New editing interface navigation" type="ui-snippet"/>

• We have updated the appearance and functionality of the Editing interface navigation. From left to right, the navigation items are: the Toggle navigation button, the title and filename of the open file, the Update status indicator, team member avatars, the Editing/Viewing dropdown, the Interface buttons, the Context menu button, the Information button, and the Save button.
  • The Toggle navigation button opens your Site navigation.
  • The title and filename tell you what file you have open. The tools from the old File menu are now in the Context menu on the top right of your Editing interface navigation.
  • You don’t have to worry about losing your unsaved changes. CloudCannon now periodically updates as you make changes, so you can refresh your internet browser, change the editing interface, and switch who is editing your file without losing any content. The Update status indicator will show when this file was last updated.
  • Each team member now has an avatar. These appear in the Editing interface navigation when someone opens that file. One avatar is highlighted as the file editor.
  • You can now participate in editing sessions with your team members. During an editing session, one person can edit while multiple people view their edits live. You can switch between modes with the Editing/Viewing dropdown. While in Viewing mode, you can interact with the file in read-only mode.
  • The Interface buttons allow you to easily switch between CloudCannon’s four editing interfaces: the Visual, Content, Data, and Source Editors. You will see between two and four options depending on how your site is configured.
  • The Context menu is in the top right of the Editing interface navigation, the same place as on a file card or folder. The Context menu includes the following file actions: Preview live site, Copy output URL, Open Source Folder, Open Collection, Publish to posts (Jekyll only), Move, Clone, Rename, Download, Discard unsaved changes, and Delete file actions.
  • The Information button opens our Editing help modal.
  • The Save button allows you to save your changes to all edited files. A red notification icon will indicate how many files have unsaved changes.
• All team members now share an editing environment. This prevents one team member from unknowingly destroying other people’s unsaved changes when editing the same file.
• You can now open newly created files in the Source Editor without the need to save your site.
• The Data panel for editing images and links in the Visual Editor is now consistent with the Data panel for editing snippets.
• When opening files in the Visual Editor, the sidebar now defaults to Open/Closed, depending on the last file you had open.
• If the contents of a file are the same in the Data Editor and the Content Editor (i.e., it is a data file), only the Data Editor Interface button will appear in the top right of the Editing interface navigation.
• You can now use the image cropper for newly uploaded images and existing images in your site files.
• You can now drag and drop an image into the rich text editor or an input field to upload the image.
• Editable regions now use a Snippet-style editing panel.
• HTML elements that cannot be recreated in the rich text editor (e.g., div tags) will now appear as uneditable Snippets. This prevents you from unintentionally deleting unsupported HTML elements from your file.

Rich text editor overhaul

<comp.DocsImage path="https://cc-dam.imgix.net/documentation/images/change-log/2024-Q1/Updated-Editor/CloudCannon-Changelog-Mar2024-Rich-Text-Overhaul.png" alt="The updated WYSIWYG toolbar includes better icons to improve consistency with other icons in CloudCannon." title="Updated WYSIWYG toolbar" type="ui-snippet"/>

• We have overhauled the appearance and functionality of the rich text editor.
• The WYSIWYG toolbar in the Content Editor and other rich text fields have updated icons. This will improve clarity and consistency with other icons in CloudCannon.
• We have improved the reliability of the Undo and Redo toolbar options and keyboard shortcuts.
• The Code tool has been split into code_inline and code_block toolbar options. Enabling code in your toolbar options under your global configuration file enables both toolbar options.
• You can now add inline Snippets.
• Images in the rich text editor now behave like Snippets.
• When you paste an image into the rich text editor, a loading icon will appear while the image uploads.
• Better controls for tables in the rich text editor.
• We have updated the pop-up window for links and Snippets.
• You can now add a title attribute to a link.

Avatars

<comp.DocsImage path="https://cc-dam.imgix.net/documentation/images/change-log/2024-Q1/Updated-Editor/CloudCannon-Changelog-Mar2024-Avatars.png" alt="The Avatar card shows all the files a person has open, including whether they are Editing or Viewing those files." title="Avatars in CloudCannon" type="ui-snippet"/>

• Avatars for you and your team members now appear in various places throughout the app. Avatars appear on file cards and folders, in the Site navigation, and at the top right of an editing interface.
• Avatars will appear when a team member is online and will move to indicate what sites or files they are interacting with in real time.
• Clicking on an avatar will open the Avatar card, showing that team member’s name, profile image, email address, and a list of files they have open. Files they are Viewing are marked with an eye icon. Files they are Editing are marked with a pencil icon. You can navigate to those files by clicking on the file name in the avatar card.
  • Client avatars have a list of open files but no name, profile image, or email address.
• Avatars will also appear in the Review changes modal and Activity tab. These avatars do not indicate whether a team member is online or which files they have open.
  • In the Review changes modal, the avatar indicates that a team member contributed to the unsaved changes for a given file.
  • In the Activity tab, avatars indicate who saved each set of changes and which team members contributed to those changes.

Workflow updates

<comp.DocsImage path="https://cc-dam.imgix.net/documentation/images/change-log/2024-Q1/Updated-Editor/CloudCannon-Changelog-Mar2024-Workflow-Updates.png" alt="The Context menu on deleted file shows the option to restore that file before saving your site's unsaved changes." title="Restore deleted file functionality" type="ui-snippet"/>

• The process for uploading, moving, renaming, and deleting files is now consistent with git workflows. Selecting Upload, Move, Rename, or Delete no longer immediately performs that action. Instead, the file or folder will be marked, and that action will occur the next time you save your changes. Marked files will receive a New, Edited, or Deleted badge to indicate they have unsaved changes.
• You can now move, clone, rename, or delete a file or folder by selecting that option in the Context menu at the top right of the file/folder card or from the Context menu at the top right of any editing interface.
• Renamed files will appear in your browser twice. The file with the new name will have a New badge, and the file with the old name will have a Deleted badge.
• Deleting files or folders:
  • You can open files marked for deletion in read-only mode. Opening a deleted file will show the “This file has been deleted” banner across the bottom of the editing interface.
  • You can restore files or folders marked for deletion at any time before saving your changes. To restore a file or folder, select the Restore file/folder option in the Context menu at the top right of the file/folder card or from the Context menu at the top right of any editing interface. You can also click the Restore file button in the Deleted file banner at the bottom of any editing interface.
  • You can also restore files marked for deletion in the Review changes modal, by selecting all the files you want to restore and clicking the Discard selected button.
  • You must discard all unsaved changes before deleting a file.
• CloudCannon now shows a loading animation when performing long file operations, such as uploading or cloning a large file.

Review changes modal improvements

<comp.DocsImage path="https://cc-dam.imgix.net/documentation/images/change-log/2024-Q1/Updated-Editor/CloudCannon-Changelog-Mar2024-Review-Changes-Modal.png" alt="The updated Review changes modal shows one file with unsaved changes is selected." title="Updated Review changes modal" type="ui-snippet"/>

• You now have more control over the way you review your unsaved changes.
• Each file with unsaved changes appears in the Review changes modal as a file card. Each card shows the title, collection (if applicable), filename, the avatar of each team member who contributed to unsaved changes, and when the file was last updated. The file card will also show a New, Edited, or Deleted badge to summarize the unsaved changes to that file.
• Files with unsaved changes are grouped into three headings: My changes, Other changes, and Conflicting updates.
  • The My changes heading lists all the files where you contributed to unsaved changes. These files are selected by default when you open the Review changes modal.
  • The Other changes heading lists all the files where you have not contributed to unsaved changes.
  • In some cases, you may see a Conflicting updates heading. This heading lists files with updates from outside of CloudCannon that conflict with your unsaved changes. You must address these conflicting updates to save other changes. You can address these conflicting updates by saving the affected files to attempt a merge or by discarding unsaved changes for those files.
• You can select as many or as few files as you like. The Save selected and Discard selected buttons at the bottom of the modal allow you to save or discard your selected files as a group.

Conflicting updates

<comp.DocsImage path="https://cc-dam.imgix.net/documentation/images/change-log/2024-Q1/Updated-Editor/CloudCannon-Changelog-Mar2024-Conflicting-Changes.png" alt="The Review changes modal shows a warning about Conflicting updates." title="Conflicting updates warning" type="ui-snippet"/>

• CloudCannon now detects and blocks incoming changes that conflict with your unsaved changes. This will prevent your save from replacing any updates from an external source (i.e., race condition).
• You will be notified when your site has Conflicting updates via a warning message in your Site navigation and Review changes modal. You can address these Conflicting updates by saving the affected files to attempt a merge or by discarding unsaved changes for those files to remove the conflict.

Badge improvements

<comp.DocsImage path="https://cc-dam.imgix.net/documentation/images/change-log/2024-Q1/Updated-Editor/CloudCannon-Changelog-Mar2024-Badge-Improvements.png" alt="File cards with unsaved changes show the Edited, New, and Deleted badges." title="Updated badges of file cards" type="ui-snippet"/>

• Three badge types appear on file and folder cards, indicating unsaved changes. These badges are New, Edited, and Deleted. These badges are removed from cards once all changes have been saved.
  • The Edited badge indicates a file’s content has been updated or files within a folder have been added, edited, or marked for deletion. The Edited badge will also appear on cards on the Sites list page when there are unsaved changes for that site.
  • The New badge indicates a file or folder was recently created or that all files within a folder were recently created.
  • The Deleted badge indicates a file or folder has been marked for deletion or that all files within a folder have been marked for deletion.

Account menu and Context menu improvements

<comp.DocsImage path="https://cc-dam.imgix.net/documentation/images/change-log/2024-Q1/Updated-Editor/CloudCannon-Changelog-Mar2024-Account-Menu.png" alt="The Account menu shows options for Organizations, Account setting, Support, and Log out." title="Updated Account menu" type="ui-snippet"/>

• The Account menu now has an option for Organizations. We have also renamed My Account to Account Settings and removed the header displaying your current organization.
• The Context menu in the top right of a file card and the Context menu in the top right of the editing interface are now more consistent.

Editing help modal

<comp.DocsImage path="https://cc-dam.imgix.net/documentation/images/change-log/2024-Q1/Updated-Editor/CloudCannon-Changelog-Mar2024-Editing-Help-Modal.png" alt="The Editing help modal provides an overview of the features of your editing interface." title="New Editing help modal" type="ui-snippet"/>

• An Editing help modal will now appear in CloudCannon’s editing interfaces. This modal contains helpful information about how to use the Editing interface navigation.
• You will see this modal when you open an editing interface for the first time or when a new feature is released for our editing interfaces.
• You can reopen the modal at any time using the ⓘ icon in the top right of any editing interface.

Accessibility improvements

• We have improved app navigation using keyboard inputs. You can now:
  • Navigate the Context menu using your keyboard's arrow, tab, and escape keys.
  • Use Tab to escape rich text.
  • Use the Tab and Shift+Tab keys to navigate any editing interface.
  • Use the Tab and Enter keys to navigate arrays and objects in read-only mode.

UI improvements

• Radio buttons now have a clearer color scheme to indicate selected, unselected, disabled selected, and disabled unselected states.
• We have improved the appearance of all modals in CloudCannon.
• The Status page now has separate tabs for the Build and Compress terminals, which open/close as the build progresses.

Enable Beta for your site

To protect your files during this Beta period, you cannot edit your site in the Main and Beta environments simultaneously. To edit this site on the CloudCannon Beta, you must enable editing sessions. This will also prevent you from editing this site outside of the CloudCannon Beta.

To enable editing in Beta for each site, open any file and click Enable CloudCannon Beta in the banner at the bottom of the app. Click again in the Enable editing sessions modal to confirm.

You can revert this option by navigating to Flags, under Site Settings, and unselecting the checkbox for Editing sessions.

Any sites created in the Beta environment will automatically have the editing sessions flag enabled.

A number of emails were recently sent to add a TXT record to continue using a wildcard certificate. Since sending these emails we have concluded that only certificates on the apex (e.g. example.com) will need to add this record. A number of emails were sent for subdomain wildcard records (e.g. www.example.com) which should be ignored. If the TXT record is not added by the expiry date, we will fallback to a non-wildcard certificate to keep your site live and secure. We will be reaching out to individuals again with a follow up email. Reach out to support if you have any questions or concerns.
