A completely revamped editing experience

The page editing interface has been completely redesigned to simplify the layout and organization of your content. Easier to use and more intuitive, the new interface now provides many style and structure options, giving you greater freedom in the creation of your pages.

Content organized in sections

Each page is made up of different sections, which can be :

  • A fixed grid: for very precise layout of components or applications.
  • Or in dynamic columns: to organize components/applications in sequence with dynamically varying dimensions.

Drag and drop entire sections to organize your pages effortlessly. You can then move them around, change column sizes, edit and duplicate sections, create templates, add applications…

Several editing options

The page editor offers several options to simplify your experience:

  • Undo or repeat a setting: No need to start all over again if you don’t like what you’ve done! You can easily go back or reapply a modification thanks to the undo and repeat options.
  • Save page as template: If you regularly create pages with a similar structure, you can save your layouts as templates and reuse them with one click.
  • Apply graphic options to entire page: Customize the overall appearance of a page by applying styles, such as borders, radius, background or font sizes and colors for quick harmonization.
  • Page preview to see changes instantly: Before publishing, immediately view your latest changes for a rendering aligned with your expectations.
  • Mobile preview: Make sure your pages are optimized for all screens by accessing a mobile preview mode. You can also choose to hide some applications on mobile or to organize them in a specific way.

An extensive application library

The number of applications that can be added to a page is vast, and they are organized by category for ease of use. A preview is available for each application, so you can immediately spot the one you want to add. Once an application has been added, you can simply drag and drop it into a new location, edit its dimensions and display style, access various advanced options and even edit the content directly.

Via the integrated code editor, you can also create your own display components to format your content in specific ways, display eXo applications such as the agenda, or display dynamic information from third-party applications such as your HR tool.

A rich, WYSIWYG content editor

The content editor is WYSIWYG, meaning that what you see on the screen is exactly what users will see once the page is published. Editing is done directly in the page, allowing you to add, edit and structure your content without having to go through complex interfaces.

  • Full-screen mode: For a better experience, the editor can be opened in full-screen mode.
  • Add multimedia elements: Insert easily images, videos and tables directly into your content.
  • Multilingual management: create different versions of your content according to the languages available on your platform.
  • Accessibility check: ensure that your content complies with best accessibility practices directly from the editor.

Create and manage easily your pages

New intuitive features make creating and managing your pages child’s play!

  • Easily add and delete: Insert new pages in just a few clicks, and easily define their position in the site structure.
  • Dynamic navigation management: Modify the order of menus and submenus without technical access.
  • Customizable page templates: Use predefined templates or create your own for a fast, consistent layout to suit your needs.

Advanced branding and customization options

For a consistent visual identity and a design in line with your corporate branding, we’ve integrated new customization options:

  • Add a custom background: Apply a background color, gradient or image to a section, page, application or the entire platform.
  • Advanced graphic effects: Add transparency, radius, borders and shadows to make your pages more dynamic.
  • Style management: choose a font size, color and style and apply these settings to ensure graphic consistency.

The various graphic options can be defined at several levels:

  • At platform level for application on all pages
  • Site level
  • Page level
  • Section level
  • Component level

These options also include margin management.

This provides great flexibility and graphic richness in the design of your pages. 

Thanks to these new features, your content creation experience becomes smoother and more intuitive. These new features have been designed to give you maximum freedom in page formatting, while facilitating collaborative working and improving content management.
