New features

The following features have been added in this release of Content Station:

Digital editor: Changing components by using a keyboard shortcut. Changing a component to a different type can now be done by using a keyboard shortcut, thereby making this process much faster.

Example: When pressing Enter, a new component is created — in most cases a body component. To quickly change it to another component such as a subtitle or a quote, its corresponding keyboard shortcut can now be pressed.

The available keyboard shortcuts are shown in the Change Component option in the Properties panel. Configuring the keyboard shortcuts is done as part of setting up the component in a Component Set. For details, see the boilerplate documentation on GitHub.

The Change Component option in the Properties panel

Figure: The Change Component option in the Properties panel of the Digital editor shows the available keyboard shortcuts for changing a component.

Digital editor: Option added to allow only Elvis images to be added. When placing images in a Digital article, scenarios exist in which these images may only be stored in Elvis (for example because additional processing is done in the background that is only performed on images that are stored in that location). To make sure that only images that are stored in Elvis can be added to a Digital article, the following option can be enabled on the Features page in the Management Console of Content Station:

Images have to be stored in Elvis

The 'Images have to be store in Elvis' option

For more information, see Configuring the Content Station Aurora Digital editor to only use Elvis images.

Layout preview: Tooltips added showing object properties. When opening a layout in preview mode and hovering over an object, a tooltip now shows the following properties of that object:
Object name
Workflow Status name
Name of the user who has the object in use

For more information, see the SDK documentation in the Content Station package (available in the Content Station > sdk folder).

Changes

The following changes have been made in this release of Content Station:

Facebook Instant Articles. Support for Facebook Instant Articles has been deprecated as a result of a recent change in the Facebook policy. A used domain must now have a minimal number of views before it is eligible for Instant Articles, thereby making it very complex for us and our partners to support and/or demonstrate this feature. Together with the fact that we did not see a lot of traction for Facebook Instant Articles, the decision has been made that going forward we will no longer support Facebook Instant Articles for both Enterprise Aurora and Inception.

Placing a Digital article on a layout. When creating a Print variant of a Digital article, the Print article that is created now gets the same Brand and Category assigned as the layout on which the article is placed. In earlier versions, the Brand and Category of the Digital article was assigned.

New features

The following new feature has been added in this release of Content Station:

Tasks. Getting a story published is teamwork and involves many people with different skills: from researchers gathering the initial content, to a journalist doing interviews, a photographer taking photos, a designer laying out the page, and so on.

To make sure that each person is aware of what needs to be done to get the story published on time, Tasks can now be created and assigned to a user or user group.

Creating a Task is done through the Create New window.

The Create New window

Note: This feature is currently limited in functionality but will be expanded in future versions. It is mainly aimed as a starting point for creating Tasks, modifying the properties of a Task (such as setting the Workflow Status and routing it to a user), and viewing the files that are assigned to a Task. Other actions such as opening a Task, adding files to or removing files from a Task are currently not available. Full support for Tasks is available in Content Station 9 or through a custom integration.

For more information, see Working with Tasks in Content Station Aurora.

Changes

The following changes have been made in this release of Content Station:

Titles in browser tabs. When opening the Checked-out files page, the Inbox, a predefined query (also known as a Named Query), or a Custom Search, the title of that page is now displayed in the browser tab instead of the default title 'Content Station' that was displayed in previous versions.

Selecting files in the Inbox. It is now possible to select multiple files in the Inbox, similar to all other areas of Content Station.

Changes

The following change has been made for this release of Content Station:

Publication Overview performance improvement. In previous versions of Content Station, the Publication Overview instructed Enterprise Server to clean up the page thumbnails that are stored in the File Transfer folder when a specific action was performed. The downside of this process was that it had to wait for this task to be completed before it could continue, thereby possibly resulting in slow performance. This action has therefore been removed from Content Station.

To make sure now that the File Transfer folder is regularly cleaned up, it is recommended to make sure that the Enterprise Server Job named TransferServerCleanUp is scheduled. For more information, see Working with Enterprise Server Jobs.

Publication Overview: sharing URLs. The URL of the Publication Overview now also includes the Filter parameters. This makes it possible to easily bookmark the URL for re-use, or share the URL with other users.
