New features

The following features have been added in this release of Studio:

• Print editor: A toolbar has been added to better indicate when components with overset text exist. When a component in a Print article contains overset text, the only way to be aware of this in previous versions was by their vertical bar turning red and a divider that appears in the text itself to indicate exactly which text is overset. To see the number of characters that are overset, the mouse pointer had to be hovered over the vertical bar.

However, when a component with overset text is out of view, the overset indicators are also out of view. It can therefore be easily missed that an article still contains components with overset text.

To improve this, an 'Overset indicator toolbar' is now also shown at the bottom of the Print editor whenever one or more components with overset text exist in the article.

It shows all components in which overset text exists, including those that are out of view.

Use it as follows:

• When more components with overset text exist than can be shown, a numbered component is shown. Click it to show information for these components.
• Click on a component in the toolbar (including in the menu that shows additional components) to bring it into view.

When the amount of overset text changes, the number of characters is automatically updated in the toolbar when the article is saved.

When overset text is resolved for a component, it is removed from the toolbar when the article is saved.

Changes

The following changes have been made in this release of Studio:

• Logs in the web browser are now registered by their corresponding type for easy filtering. When logging is enabled, logs can be viewed by using the developer tools of the Web browser in which Studio is run. These logs are now registered by their corresponding type such as 'info', 'error', and 'warning', so that they can be used for filtering. In previous versions of Studio, all logs were of type 'info'.

• AI Layout Automation: Improvements have been made to the process of resolving overset or underset text by automatically adjusting frames. When using the Layout Automation feature to automatically place articles on a layout, some copyfit issues may still exist. One way of resolving this is by automatically resizing the frames on the layout in InDesign by using the Fit Article with AI (Responsive - quickest) option of the Layout Automation feature.

The process now works as follows:

• More attempts to resolve copyfit are now made. During this process, the layout may 'flash'. All changes can be reverted by using the Undo command one time.
• Frames can now grow or shrink at the top as well as the bottom, but they stay within the article’s bounding box.
• Captions stay with their image. Dividers, panels, and other decor move with the text and images they belong to.
• When a story is short, its image grows into the free space instead of leaving a gap at the bottom.
• The fenders and layout fitting operations are now respecting the custom Element label mappings (instead of only standard labels).
• When the process is completed, a dialog is now shown. It indicates if any copyfit issues still remain.

Figure: An example of the dialog, showing here that the copyfit issues for one article could not be resolved.

Note: This feature requires the AI Layout Automation Studio Server plug-in version 2.8, which is shipped with this version of Studio, or any higher version of the plug-in. The Studio Server plug-in automatically updates the plug-in in InDesign on systems on which it is already installed when the user logs in to Studio Server in InDesign. InDesign then needs to be restarted to make use of the changes.

• A pre-release of the reworked History panel has been made available. As part of an internal process to migrate parts of the user interface to a new technology, a reworked version of the History panel has been made available before its final release in an upcoming version of Studio. It is very much identical to the current version.

This is done as part of the 'Enabling upcoming features' option on the Features page of the Studio Management Console. It is enabled by default, and therefore the reworked History panel is also shown by default. If the previous design is preferred, the option can be toggled off.

New features

The following features have been added in this release of Studio:

• AI Layout Automation: Support for breakout stories has been added. When automatically placing articles on a layout using the AI Layout Automation, breakout stories are now supported. A breakout story is a small story embedded in another article with which it is very closely related.

Within the context of the Layout Automation, a breakout story contains only text and has its own body component and optionally a head and intro component. The following names are used in the system:

• breakout for the body component
• breakout-head for the head component
• breakout-intro for the intro component

The breakout component is used for determining if an article contains a breakout story: when the total character count for the breakout component of an article is zero, the article is considered to have no breakout story and an Article Shape without a breakout story is used. If the character count for the breakout component of an article is not zero, an Article Shape with a breakout story is used.

When creating or using breakout stories (which is optional), make sure of the following:

• The breakout Element labels that are going to be used (at a minimum 'breakout' for the body component) have been created in InDesign and assigned to the correct component in the article.
• Custom names can be used for the breakout elements. When this is done, they need to be mapped to the relevant labels used by the system on the Element labels page in the AILA Management Console.
• The breakout story is part of the main story it is related to. In other words: the article for the main story will contain the additional components for the breakout story; the breakout story is not a separate article.
• Only one breakout story per article is allowed.

Notes: This feature requires the AI Layout Automation Studio Server plug-in version 2.7.0 which is shipped with this version of Studio, or any higher version of the plug-in. Breakout stories are only supported for Print articles, not for Digital articles. Existing users of Studio and the Layout Automation who already have articles and Article Shapes that contain breakout stories need to perform upgrade steps.

Changes

The following changes have been made in this release of Studio:

• A pre-release of the reworked Filter panel has been made available. As part of an internal process to migrate parts of the user interface to a new technology, a reworked version of the Filter panel has been made available before its final release in an upcoming version of Studio.

This is done as part of the 'Enabling upcoming features' option on the Features page of the Studio Management Console. It is enabled by default, and therefore the reworked Filter panel is also shown by default. If the previous design is preferred, the option can be toggled off.

Figure: The reworked Filter (left) and the current Filter (right).

• AI Layout Automation: Information has been added to and removed from the Layout Automation dialog. The following changes have been made to the Layout Automation dialog for automatically placing articles on a layout:
• The 'Words' column was superfluous and has been removed. Because the placement of articles is based on the number of characters and not on the number of words, the 'Words' column has been removed. The total number of words can still be verified in other places of Studio, such as in the Print editor or in the Digital editor.
• A new column named 'Breakout length' has been added. It shows the total number of characters of all article components that are mapped to the 'breakout' component. This component has been introduced as part of the support for breakout stories (see above). It also indicates if an article contains a breakout story: when the value is 0, no breakout story is present.
• The 'Characters' column has been renamed to 'Body length'. To better indicate on which component the values in this column are based and to bring it inline with the newly introduced 'Breakout length' column, the 'Characters' column has been renamed to 'Body length'.

New features

The following features have been added in this release of Studio:

• In preparation: Enabling upcoming features. New features and improvements are added to Studio on a regular basis. When development for a specific feature is nearing completion, WoodWing can make it available before it is officially released. It is then included as a 'pre-release' in a regular release of Studio.

The features are 'unlocked' through the 'Enable upcoming features' option in the General section of the Studio Management Console. The option is enabled by default.

Features could be completely new, or replace an existing feature.

If the feature is not working properly or the feature it replaces is preferred, the option can be disabled.

At some later point, the feature is officially released and made part of the core functionality. It is then not affected by the 'Enable upcoming features' option anymore.

In preparation of making upcoming features available early, the 'Enable upcoming features' option has been added to the General section of the Features page in the Studio Management Console. It is enabled, but does not yet unlock any features.

Features that are unlocked via this option (or at some point moved to the core functionality) will be announced in the Release Notes and can also be tracked in Configuring Studio.

Changes

The following changes have been made in this release of Studio:

• AI Layout Automation: Improvements have been made to the previews of placed articles in the Layout Automation dialog. When automatically placing articles on a layout using the AI Layout Automation, the Preview pane in the Layout Automation dialog now shows article previews.

Although these are not previews of the articles that are placed, but previews of the articles on which the Article Shapes that were used to place them are based, they are representative of the final result.

A label with the title of the article is placed horizontally at the bottom of the preview so that it does not obscure the title in the preview. Hovering the mouse pointer over the label shows the title in full.

In previous versions, no preview was shown, and the title of the article was placed at the top. For narrow articles, the title was shown vertically.

New features

The following features have been added in this release of Studio:

• AI Layout Automation: Support has been added for Adobe InDesign 2026 and InDesign Server 2026. When using the AI Layout Automation for automatically placing articles on a layout, Adobe InDesign 2026 and InDesign Server 2026 can now be used. This requires the AILA Studio Server plug-in version 2.6 which is shipped with this version of Studio.

Changes

The following changes have been made in this release of Studio:

• Improvements have been made around the process of working with templates: opening them now instantiates a file, while editing them is a separate action. In previous versions of Studio, opening a template opened the template itself, while instantiating a new file from the template was a separate action with some restrictions.

Using templates now works as follows:

• Opening a template by double-clicking it or by using keyboard shortcut E, Cmd+E (macOS), or Ctrl+E (Windows) now instantiates a file based on the template, instead of opening (checking out) the template itself for editing.

• Opening a template for editing is now done by using keyboard shortcut Alt+E or by Alt+double-clicking the file.

• When instantiating a file from a template for a Digital article, Print article (configured to be opened in the Print editor), or Dossier, the 'Create New' dialog appears with the template already selected. Only one file should be selected to make this work.

• When the Desktop app is configured to have Print articles opened in InCopy, the article is now directly opened in InCopy* when instantiating an article from a template or when opening the template for editing. In previous versions, this had to be done in InCopy.

• A layout or Layout Module is now directly opened in InDesign* when instantiating a layout from a template or opening the template for editing. In previous versions, this had to be done in InDesign.

• For files that are opened in InDesign or InCopy, multiple templates can now be selected and instantiated in one action. If the selection also included files that are not opened in InDesign or InCopy, then these are automatically skipped and a notification is shown to inform the user about this.

* Requires the Desktop app version 5.1.12 which is shipped with this version of Studio.

• The Studio Desktop app has been updated. The Studio Desktop app has been updated to version 5.1.12. Depending on how the Desktop app is configured, this update is installed automatically or this needs to be done manually.

Changes

The following changes have been made in this release of Studio:

• A label has been added to the Search Filter to better indicate Workflow Statuses that are shared by objects. The Filter in Studio is one of the ways of searching for files and objects in Studio. The Status field can be used to filter the search results by Workflow Status. When two or more objects share the same status, these statuses are shown at the top of the list for visibility and quick access.

To make it clear that these are shared statuses, the label 'Shared statuses' has now been added.

• AI Assistant: The limitation for the total number of characters that can be stored for all custom prompts combined has been removed. Using the AI Assistant in Studio, users can efficiently improve the quality of articles by analyzing or transforming the content with the help of artificial intelligence (AI) and then updating the article with the suggested feedback. This is done by using one of the default prompts or by creating a custom prompt.

When the feature of creating custom prompts was first released, only a maximum of 60,000 characters could be stored for all custom prompts combined.

This limit has been substantially increased by 250 times when used in Studio 11.226 or higher in combination with Studio Server 10.69 or higher.

Because it is unlikely that this new limit will ever be reached, the limitation has effectively been removed.

• AI Layout Automation: Improvements have been made to the process of extracting Article Shape information and the way information is presented when this process fails. When tagging Article Shapes as part of the configuration for the AI Layout Automation, the information needs to be extracted an uploaded to the Layout Automation service.

This process has been improved in the following ways:

• Errors and warnings are collected and the process now never aborts due to detected problems. In previous versions, the whole process was aborted inconsistently depending on the detected problem.
• Errors and warnings are now always logged.
• Errors and warnings are now presented in two groups (when applicable):

1. Not exported: When the export of an article has failed.
2. Exported with warnings: When an article could be exported, but problems were encountered.

• When the export process is completed, a better designed dialog is now shown.
• The text of the messages is now localized (not yet implemented, see 'Known issues' below).

Note: This feature requires the AILA InDesign plug-in 2.4 or higher.

Figure: An example of the new way in which information is displayed when extracting Article Shape information fails.

• Digital editor: When opening an article for which a comment exists, the comment is now shown as a notification. When a Digital article is opened for which a comment exists in the Comment metadata field of the file, the comment is now shown as a notification.

• AI Assistant: Responses of prompts can now be displayed as suggestions with options to approve, reject, or copy them, instead of blocks of text that can be copied. In the AI Assistant of Studio, the main way of presenting responses is in blocks of text which can then be copied into the article. In some scenarios though, it is better to present the text in individual 'suggestions', which can then be reviewed one by one.

This is now possible by including the term AI_ASSISTANT_SUGGESTIONS anywhere in the prompt (such as separately at the very end).

When this is done, the initial response shows that suggestions have been found. When clicking Review, a new Suggestions panel appears in which these can be processed.

Figure: Left: The response showing that suggestions have been found after running the Copyfit prompt. Right: The Suggestions panel in which the suggestions can be processed.

When clicking Approve, the text in the article is automatically replaced by the suggested text and the suggestion disappears. If needed, the suggested text can first be edited by clicking anywhere in the text.

When clicking Reject, the suggestion is automatically removed without updating the text in the article.

Before the suggestion disappears in either scenario, an Undo button is shown for 5 seconds in case the action needs to be reverted.

When all suggestions have been processed, new suggestions can optionally be generated.

Returning to the main AI Assistant panel can at any time be done by clicking Back to AI Assistant.

For more information, see Optimizing an article by using the AI Assistant in Studio section Processing suggestions.

• AI Assistant: A Copyfit prompt has been added for resolving overset text in placed Print articles. In the AI Assistant for the Print editor, a new prompt named 'Copyfit' has been added to the 'Edit' group. With it, overset text can be resolved for Print articles that have been placed on a layout. Responses are shown using the new 'suggestions' format, see above. The prompt contains the new AI_ASSISTANT_OVERSET keyword, see below.

Note: For customers who are already using the AI Assistant, this prompt has been enabled. To make use of it, it can be enabled in the AI Custom prompts builder of the Studio Management Console.

• AI Assistant: New keywords for writing prompts are available. When writing a prompt, the following keywords can now be included:
• AI_ASSISTANT_SUGGESTIONS. This presents the response as individual 'suggestions' that can be approved or rejected, see above. Should not be combined with a request for a full rewritten article.
• AI_ASSISTANT_OVERSET. This provides information on how to shorten text to resolve overset. Available for the Print editor only. Used in the default Copyfit prompt. Best combined with AI_ASSISTANT_SUGGESTIONS.

• AI Layout Automation: Support has been added for automatically adding dividers between neighboring placements in a blueprint partition. When using the AI Layout Automation for automatically placing articles on a layout, it may be needed to add a divider between specials, advertisements, and / or fillers such as an empty space or a graphic.

This is now done by creating these dividers as part of a dedicated InDesign Article, placed on a dedicated layout.

Which divider should be used is controlled through rules that are set up on the new 'Divider' page of the AI Layout Automation Management Console in Studio Server. In it, a layout and article in which the divider to use is defined, as well as exactly where between the placements the divider should be added.

Example: A rule could be set up that defines that when an advert has a filler placed to the right of it, a vertical black line should be added between the advert and the filler in a space that is 6 millimeters wide. The divider can be found in article 1 that is placed on layout A. The divider should be placed on the side of the filler.

When the Layout Automation service processes the blueprint partition, the divider is automatically placed based on the defined rule.

Many combinations of different placements that can sit next to each other exist, and for each possible combination, a rule can be set up.

For more information, see Setting up blueprints for the AI Layout Automation feature in Studio.

Known issues

The following known issues exist in this release of Studio:

• CSH-6506 Tasks: (Applies to Safari only) When right-clicking a file in a Dossier and choosing 'Add to Task', the list of available Tasks does not appear.

• CSH-6870 Print editor: Hidden characters are not shown for empty paragraphs when using Firefox or Microsoft Edge.

• CSH-8824 Properties: Real-time updating of the Properties panel has been disabled. To see any changes made, the panel should be closed and re-opened again.

• CSH-11217 Digital editor & Print editor - AI Assistant: A limitation currently exists for the number of characters that can be stored for all custom prompts combined (60,000). When this limit is reached (which is easily achieved by creating 7 prompts containing 10,000 characters each), no custom prompts can be loaded in the AI Assistant panel. As a temporary solution, a notification is shown when saving an action and the limit is reached. When this occurs, reduce the number of characters in the action you are editing and/or other actions, and try again.

• EN-94964 Planned images: After updating a Planned image that is stored in Assets, the image cannot be updated in InDesign.

• Documentation: The AI Layout Automation configuration is currently undergoing many and rapid changes. This mainly revolves around making the configuration more efficient and accessible by moving it to the AILA Management Console in Studio Server. These changes are implemented in the AILA Studio Server plug-in 2.2.x and higher. The documentation has not been fully updated yet with all these changes. We are hoping to have this resolved as soon as possible, our apologies for any inconvenience this may cause.

New features

The following has been added in this release of Studio:

• The AI Layout Automation now also supports placing Digital articles. The Layout Automation automatically places articles on a layout, based on preconfigured blueprints and article shapes and taking already placed advertisements into account.

In its first iteration, this process was solely based on Print articles. Now, Digital articles are also supported.

When a Digital article needs to be placed, a Print variant is automatically created for it.

To do this, the Layout Automation needs to know how to turn each Digital article component into a Print article component.

This mapping is done by setting up Conversion Rules for Print articles on the Component Mapping page in the Management Console of Studio, a process that already existed.

For the Layout Automation configuration, Conversion Rules for Digital articles are then set up on the new Digital articles page in the AI Layout Automation Management Console in Studio Server.

These Digital article Conversion Rules consist of a combination of a Category, a story type (lead, 2nd, 3rd, or filler) and a Print article Conversion Rule. When Genres are used, an Article Genre and Layout Genre also can be set.

When in Studio the Layout Automation dialog is opened for a layout, all articles that can be placed on the layout and that belong to the same Brand, Issue, and Category combination of the layout are shown and included in the proposal for filling the layout.

When Digital articles exist for that Brand, Issue, and Category combination, and Digital article Conversion Rules have been set up, then Digital articles are included in the process and shown in the dialog as well.

From the perspective of using the Layout Automation in Studio, using Digital articles works exactly the same as using Print articles.

Figure: The Layout Automation dialog, showing both Print articles and Digital articles.

Note: Configuring this feature is optional. However, when it is not configured for a Brand and the Layout Automation feature in Studio detects that Digital articles are present for that Brand, Digital articles are excluded from the process and the user is informed about this.

For more information, see:

• Setting up and configuring the AI Layout Automation feature in Studio
• Automatically placing articles in Studio using the AI Layout Automation feature

Changes

The following changes have been made in this release of Studio:

• Assets Server integration: In the Digital editor, image previews now use the default preview stored in Assets Server instead of the higher resolution preview of the Digital editor for all image formats except PNG. When an image is placed in a Digital article, the Digital editor uses a preview of 2500x2500 pixels for all image formats except PNG. When the image is stored in Assets Server, a lower resolution of 1600x1600 pixels is available. To improve performance, this lower resolution is now used by the Digital editor.

• AI Layout Automation: The AI Layout Automation Studio Server plug-in is now shipped as part of the Studio release. The functionality of the AI Layout Automation is provided in the AI Layout Automation Studio Server plug-in. This includes the AI Layout Automation Management Console, functionality in Studio, and the deployment of InDesign plug-ins. To better streamline the release process, this plug-in will now be included as part of the release of Studio.

• AI Layout Automation: Articles that are planned but not yet placed on the layout are now clearly indicated as such in the Layout Automation dialog. In the Layout Automation feature with which articles can be automatically placed on a layout, articles that are planned (using the 'Page nr (Aim)' or 'Page nr (Actual) options) but not yet placed on the layout now have a Pin icon next to their name in the Layout Automation dialog.

To distinguish this pin from the Pin icon that is used for articles that have already been placed, an 'open' Pin is used, as opposed to the 'closed' pin for placed articles.

Hovering the mouse pointer over the pin shows a tooltip with the page number. For Digital articles, the name of the Digital article Conversion Rule that will be used is also shown.

• AI Layout Automation: Support for Layout Genres to differentiate Article Shapes between layouts. To differentiate an Article Shape with a combination of a Brand, Category, and Story type from another Article Shape with that same combination with the aim to style it differently on a page, Article Genres could already be set up.

To also cover this scenario for Article Shapes that are placed on different layouts, Layout Genres can now also be set up.

Layout Genres use the same custom property PLA_GENRE as Article Genres.

The property should be added to the dialog setup for layouts so that the correct Layout Genre can be set for a layout.

For more information, see Setting up and configuring the AI Layout Automation feature in Studio.

• The Studio Desktop app has been updated. The Studio Desktop app has been updated to version 5.1.10. Depending on how the Desktop app is configured, this update is installed automatically or this needs to be done manually.

New features

The following has been added in this release of Studio:

• The AI Assistant for optimizing an article by using AI has now also been added to the Print editor. Studio 11.211 introduced the AI Assistant for the Digital editor: a panel containing various AI prompts for optimizing the text of an article. This includes prompts for making sure that the story contains the required numbered of words, changing the tone and style of the article, coming up with different titles, writing titles for search engine optimization, and so on.

These tasks are often repetitive and optionally done using (Artificial Intelligence) tools outside of Studio.

The AI Assistant aims to make this process more efficient by:

• Reducing repetitive editorial work
• Improving efficiency without sacrificing quality
• Keeping AI usage embedded, controlled, and review-based
• Ensuring human judgment remains central to publishing decisions

The AI Assistant has now also been added to the Print editor. It can be accessed by clicking the AI Assistant icon in the toolbar.

Figure: The AI Assistant in the Print editor.

Features

The AI Assistant analyzes the content of a Print article and provides suggestions on how it can be improved. It can do the following:

• Lengthen the article by roughly doubling it
• Shorten the article by roughly halving it
• Revise the tone and style by making it:
• Formal
• Informal
• Positive
• Empathetic
• Serious
• Friendly
• Suggest new titles
• Suggest SEO titles

It is also possible to create custom prompts.

The results can be easily copied to the clipboard so that it can be used to replace the original text.

Notes: The AI Assistant panel is shared between the Print editor and the Digital editor. Any prompts are therefore available in both editors. If you already have access to the AI Assistant in the Digital editor, it will be immediately available in the Print editor.

Requirements

Using the AI Assistant requires the following:

• The 'Ultimate' package in WoodWing Cloud¹
• WoodWing Studio 11.222 or higher in WoodWing Cloud
• The Print Editor in Studio
• Analytics enabled in Studio
• An internet connection

¹ Customers on the Ultimate package of WoodWing Cloud receive a monthly allowance of AI prompts (tokens). These prompts are shared across the organization and are consumed each time an AI action is performed.

Once the monthly allowance is reached, any additional AI usage must be purchased by the organization to continue using the feature.

Changes

The following changes have been made in this release of Studio:

• AI Layout Automation: The following changes have been made:

• The preview pane of the Layout Automation dialog is now automatically updated when a Placement Preset is chosen. When placing articles on a layout using the AI Layout Automation, Placement Presets can be used to give certain aspects of what should be placed and how it should be placed more or less weight. When selecting a preset from the list, the preview pane is now automatically updated. In previous versions, this needed to be done manually by clicking Update.

• The Placement Preset that was last selected in the Layout Automation dialog is now stored for a user and automatically loaded. When placing articles on a layout using the AI Layout Automation, Placement Presets can be used to give certain aspects of what should be placed and how it should be placed more or less weight. The preset to use is chosen from a list. The last selected preset is now stored for a user (per Brand and Section) and automatically loaded the next time the dialog is opened for that Brand and Section combination. In previous versions, the preset that acted as the default was always loaded.

• Layouts for which an update is available are now excluded when trying to open them in the Layout Automation dialog. Layouts for a print publication such as a newspaper are typically first planned in a planning's interface. While the layouts are being worked on, changes may come in such as advertisements that are added. When an update is available, the layout is marked by a red flag when viewing the search results in list view.

When the layout is not yet updated with these changes, placing articles on the layout would give incorrect results. Layouts that are marked by a red flag therefore are now excluded when attempting to open them in the Layout Automation dialog. When this occurs, a notification is shown to the user to inform them about this and that this first needs to be resolved before they can be processed by the Layout Automation.

• The Studio Desktop app has been updated. The Studio Desktop app has been updated to version 5.1.x. Depending on how the Desktop app is configured, this update is installed automatically or this needs to be done manually.

In previous versions of the AI Assistant, replacing the original text needed to be done by first copying the suggested text to the clipboard, selecting the original text in the article, and pasting the copied text.

This process has now been made more efficient by adding the option to replace the original text by clicking a Replace icon as follows:

• By clicking the Replace icon for an individual article component in the response to replace the text in the corresponding component in the article.
• By clicking the Replace icon at the bottom of the response to replace the text of all components in the article.

The original text is then automatically replaced.

When hovering the mouse over a response for which the Replace option is available, the corresponding article component is automatically moved into view and highlighted in the article and in the panel.

Notes: The Replace option is only available for specific types of responses. When the Replace option is available, the Copy button always copies the full response. To copy part of the response, it needs to be manually selected and copied by using a keyboard shortcut.

Figure: When hovering the mouse pointer over a suggested paragraph in the AI Assistant panel, the related paragraph in the article is brought into view, and the paragraph is highlighted in the article and in the panel. The Replace icons can be used to replace only that paragraph or the full response. The text cursor in the panel indicates that text can be manually selected for copying it to the clipboard.

For more details, see Optimizing an article by using the AI Assistant in the Digital editor of Studio.

• The Studio Desktop app has been updated. The Studio Desktop app has been updated to version 5.1.5. Depending on how the Desktop app is configured, this update is installed automatically or this needs to be done manually.

New features

The following has been added in this release of Studio:

• Support for custom prompts in the AI Assistant of the Digital editor. Using the AI Assistant in the Digital editor of Studio, users can efficiently improve the quality of articles by analyzing or transforming the content with the help of artificial intelligence (AI) and then updating the article with the suggested feedback.

By default, a small number of generic prompts are provided. Using the new AI Custom prompts builder in the Studio Management Console, system administrators can now optionally hide these default prompts and add custom prompts.

The use of custom prompts adds the following benefits:

• It gives organizations full control over the AI-assisted actions available to their editors.
• It adds support for multi-brand and multi-publication environments within a single Studio instance.
• It improves editorial efficiency by surfacing the right prompts for the right contexts (such as SEO, translation, or game recaps).

Figure: The AI Custom prompts builder in the Management Console, with multiple custom prompts set up.

Figure: The AI Assistant panel with multiple custom prompts.

In the builder, prompts exist as an 'action', consisting of a name that appears in the AI Assistant panel, and the AI prompt itself.

Actions are always part of a group and can be combined in a subgroup. Subgroups act as a drop-down list in the panel from which users can choose the prompt they want to use.

The order of groups, subgroups, or actions can be changed, actions can be moved between groups or subgroups, and actions can be made inactive to keep them in the builder but hide them from the panel.

For more details, see Managing prompts for the AI Assistant of the Digital editor in Studio.

Changes

The following changes have been made in this release of Studio:

• The feedback received after running a custom prompt in the AI Assistant of the Digital editor can now include details about the suggested changes. When running a custom prompt or a prompt that is entered by the user, the results can now include details explaining the reasons why a section of text can be improved, or why no changes are needed.

In the following example, detailed feedback after running the following prompt is shown: Suggest improvements to each paragraph and show the rewritten version together with an explanation of what has changed:

• The list of devices for previewing a Digital article has been updated with more modern versions. When publishing a Digital article to a digital channel, it can be previewed using the dimensions of desktops and various popular smartphones and tablets. This list has been updated by removing outdated smartphone and table versions and adding more modern versions.

The list is now as follows:

• iPhone 17

Changes

The following changes have been made in this release of Studio:

• AI Layout Automation: The way the Layout Automation algorithm fills a page can now be influenced through the use of Placement Presets. When the AI Layout Automation is used for automatically placing articles on a layout, it might be that certain aspects of what should be placed and how it should be placed need to be given more or less weight. This can now be done through so-called 'Placement Presets'.

Multiple presets can be defined, each one prioritizing one or more aspects to let the algorithm focus on copyfitting, the placement of images, a balanced placement, and so on.

Each preset is given a distinctive name and users will choose the one they want to apply from a list in the Layout Automation dialog.

The following parameters can be defined for each preset:

• How much of the page area should be filled.
• The number of objects that should be placed.
• The priority that filling the page should be given.
• How well an object should fit in an Article Shape.
• Whether or not blueprints should be reused on multiple layouts.
• How much importance should be given to the page number specified in the 'Page nr (Aim)' field.

The configuration of the presets is done in the Excel configuration file as part of Setting up and configuring the AI Layout Automation feature in Studio (outdated).

The use of this feature is optional; when no presets are defined, the list in the Layout Automation dialog does not appear and a default set of parameters is used that places content the way it was done in previous versions.

Use it as follows:

• For system administrators: Set op one or more Placement Presets as described in Managing Placement Presets to control how the AI Layout Automation algorithm in Studio fills pages (outdated).
• For end users: In the Layout Automation dialog, choose the preset to use from the list. The chosen preset is remembered for future sessions. For more information, see Automatically placing articles in Studio using the AI Layout Automation feature (outdated).

• The Studio Desktop app has been updated. The Studio Desktop app has been updated to version 5.1.4. Depending on how the Desktop app is configured, this update is installed automatically or this needs to be done manually.

New features

The following has been added in this release of Studio:

• AI Layout Automation: Support for 'Specials' (articles such as weekly columns and weather reports) has been added. Articles such as weekly columns and weather reports typically have a pre-reserved place on a page. Within the Layout Automation concept, such articles are referred to as 'specials'.

To make an article a 'special', it is manually placed on the layout before the layout is opened in the Layout Automation dialog. This article can either be a regular article or an InDesign Article.

The Layout Automation recognizes the placed article as a special and uses a suitable blueprint (in which the area that the article occupies is defined and marked as a special) to fill the rest of the (empty) space. The already placed article is left in place.

In the Layout Automation dialog, specials are marked as a striped area.

Figure: In this preview, a weather report is treated as a special, as indicated by the striped area.

Changes

The following changes have been made in this release of Studio:

• Users can now enter their own prompts in the AI Assistant of the Digital editor. With the AI Assistant of the Digital editor, users can transform the content of an article by using artificial intelligence (AI). In the initial release of this feature, only predefined prompts could be used. Now, users can enter their own prompt to start the process, and additional prompts can be entered to tweak the outcome.

Prompts can refer to the results of earlier responses and can reference other answers or questions within the same session. This is very similar to having a conversation with AI.

This has the following advantages:

• The first result will be closer to the desired outcome, especially when the default prompts do not match the goal.
• The given result can be further tweaked instead of running the default prompt again with the hope that it will then match the required outcome.

In the AI Assistant panel, a new field has been added at the bottom in which a prompt can be entered.

For more information, see Optimizing an article by using the AI Assistant in the Digital editor of Studio.

Figure: In this example, a prompt 'summarize the article' has been added in the prompt field (1). After pressing Enter, this then appears as a conversation with a prompt (2), and a response (3).

• AI Layout Automation: spreads can now be marked to be treated as single pages. When accessing the Layout Automation dialog for a layout that is set up as a spread, it is now possible to determine if this spread should be treated as single pages. In previous versions, making this change had to be done in the page planner.

To make this work, a custom metadata field named 'PLA_SPREAD_AS_SINGLE_PAGES' needs to be added with display name 'Handle spreads as single pages'. This field is of type boolean and acts as a toggle button in the Properties panel.

If needed, the setting can be overruled from a newly added menu in the preview pane of the layout in the Layout Automation dialog.

Note: This setting is managed on a layout level, not on an individual spread or page level. Toggling the setting for the layout affects all spreads on that layout.

New features

The following has been added in this release of Studio:

• Official release of the AI Assistant in the Digital editor. A new AI Assistant is available in the Digital editor with which users can trigger predefined AI-powered actions, such as revising tone, copy editing, shortening or expanding text, and generating titles directly inside the Digital Editor.

This feature replaces the Technology Preview of the AI Assistant and runs in a side-panel.

Figure: The AI Assistant in the Digital editor. Here, suggestions for new titles were generated.

Features

The AI Assistant analyzes the content of a Digital article and provides suggestions on how it can be improved. It can do the following:

• Lengthen the article by roughly doubling it
• Shorten the article by roughly halving it
• Revise the tone and style by making it:
• Formal
• Informal
• Positive
• Empathetic
• Serious
• Friendly
• Suggest new titles
• Suggest SEO titles

The results can be easily copied to the clipboard so that it can be used to replace the original text.

Requirements

Using the AI Assistant requires the following:

• The 'Ultimate' package in WoodWing Cloud¹
• WoodWing Studio 11.211 or higher in WoodWing Cloud
• The Digital Editor in Studio
• Analytics enabled in Studio
• An internet connection

¹ Customers on the Ultimate package of WoodWing Cloud receive a monthly allowance of AI prompts (tokens). These prompts are shared across the organization and are consumed each time an AI action is performed.

Once the monthly allowance is reached, any additional AI usage must be purchased by the organization to continue using the feature.

Differences

Compared to the Technology preview version, the new version:

• Is a paid version.
• Has been redesigned for optimal efficiency.
• Has fewer actions available on first release.
• Does not reference an article that represents the tone and style.
• Does not have the option to use custom prompts; all prompts are predefined.
• Does not provide a score or action to undertake; all feedback is a direct alternative to use.

Changes

The following changes have been made in this release of Studio:

• Feedback when previewing Digital articles in the Trash Can has been improved. Digital articles that are placed in the Trash Can cannot be previewed. However, when doing so in earlier versions of Studio, a loader is shown, implying that the preview is being loaded. To provide users with better feedback, the text 'No preview available' is now shown.

• AI Layout Automation: Articles in the Layout Automation dialog can now be filtered using a Custom Search. When accessing the Layout Automation dialog to define the articles that should be placed on a layout, all articles are listed that are part of the Brand, Issue, and Category combination that the layout is part of.

To shorten this list, a Filter option has now been added from which a pre-defined Custom Search can be chosen.

New features

The following features have been added in this release of Studio:

• AI Layout Automation - Article Shapes can now be further distinguished by using Genres. Article Shapes are organized per Brand, Category, and Story type. In some scenarios, an additional level is required, typically related to the way a Story is styled.

Example: Within a particular Article Shape, a Story might need to be styled differently than the general styling for that Category and/or Story type.

To make this possible, a Genre can now optionally be set for an article. This is done in the Properties panel for that article. When the system is set up for using Genres, it also is shown as a column in the Layout Automation dialog.

For more details about configuring and using this feature, see:

• Automatically placing articles in Studio using the AI Layout Automation feature (outdated)
• Setting up and configuring the AI Layout Automation feature in Studio (outdated)

• AI Layout Automation: Support for placing unfinished stories. When the content for a publication is planned, it is often the case that an article about a certain topic has not been written yet or is not yet finalized.

To give the Layout Automation feature an idea of the size of such an unfinished article, a 'planned number of characters' can now be defined for it. This is done in the page planning application and can also be manually set in the properties of the article. This number is then used as a provisional article size when the article is used when filling a layout.

When at some point the actual number of characters is known, the planned number of characters can be reset (to zero) which makes the Layout Automation feature use the actual number of characters.

References to the planned and actual number of characters are shown in the 'Characters' column of the Layout Automation dialog and in the Properties panel for an article. See Automatically placing articles in Studio using the AI Layout Automation feature (outdated).

Changes

The following changes have been made in this release of Studio:

• AI Layout Automation: The Layout Automation option in the context menu is now grayed out when files other than layouts are selected. Working with the Layout Automation feature is done by using the Layout Automation dialog. One way of opening this dialog is by selecting multiple layouts in the Search results, right-clicking one of them, and choosing 'Layout Automation...'. When one of the selected files is not a layout, this option is now grayed out.

• AI Layout Automation: Only the pages of the selected layouts are now shown in the Layout Automation dialog. When the Layout Automation dialog is opened, only the pages of the selected layouts are now shown. Before, all pages of all layouts of the Brand, Issue, and Category combination were shown.

Note: When opening layouts via the Publication Overview, all pages of the Category are shown. This is a known issue which will be resolved in a future release.

• AI Layout Automation: Articles that are aimed for pages that are not in the selected layouts are now automatically set to the 'Excluded' status when the dialog is opened. When the Layout Automation dialog is opened, articles that are aimed for pages that are not in the selected layouts are now automatically set to the 'Excluded' status. Clearing the status will have no effect; they will not be included in the process.

Changes

In previous versions, when opening a layout in Full Layout view in the Publication Overview, all objects of all pages were requested, including those on pages that were not visible.

For layouts containing multiple pages and many objects, this can have a negative impact on feedback. From Studio version 11.199, only the objects that are on the visible page are now requested.

• Publication Overview: Performance has been improved by only requesting required properties of objects on the page that is visible when viewed in Full Layout view. In previous versions, when opening a layout in Full Layout view in the Publication Overview, more properties of the objects on the visible page were requested than actually needed (5 in total). Now, only the necessary number of properties are requested (2 in total).

Changes

• The icon for the Sticky Note Pin has changed to better indicate its position on the layout. When working with layouts in Studio, Sticky Notes can be placed to indicate any changes or corrections that need to be made to the content of a page. The icon in previous versions was designed as a square which made it difficult (if not impossible) to determine the exact position on the layout it was referring to.

To improve this, the icon has changed to a pointer so that the exact layout position can now be better determined.

Versions 11.196 and higher.

Versions 11.173 – 11.195.

Changes

The following changes have been made in this release of Studio:

• The zoom tool in the layout preview has been repositioned to avoid obscuring underlying content. Studio 11.173 introduced a redesign of the fullscreen preview mode for layouts, including a new zoom tool. The tool included a slider and an option to add a zoom percentage and was positioned centrally and horizontally at the bottom of the screen.

User feedback indicated that because the tool could not be moved or hidden, the lower parts of a layout could not be viewed properly, thereby negatively impacting daily production.

As a result, the following changes have been made to the zoom tool:

• It has been positioned vertically in the bottom right corner of the screen.
• The option to manually enter a zoom percentage has been removed.

Figure: The zoom tool in Studio 11.173 – 11.190.

Figure: The zoom tool in Studio 11.191 and higher.

Changes

The following changes have been made in this release of Studio:

• When closing and opening the Activity hub, the 'Only show unread' option in the Comments feed is no longer automatically disabled. When viewing comments in the Comments feed of the Activity hub and enabling the 'Only show unread' option, previous versions of Studio automatically disabled this option when closing and opening the Activity hub. This meant that the option would have to be re-enabled again. Now, when enabling the 'Only show unread' option and closing and opening the Activity hub, the state is retained.

• Saving changes to a Sticky Note that is edited or replied to is now done by pressing Enter instead of clicking Save. In previous versions of Studio, saving a reply to a Sticky Note or saving an edited Sticky Note needed to be done by clicking a Save button. In other areas of Studio, similar actions (such as when creating a Sticky Note) were performed by pressing Enter.

To bring the functionality in line, the Save button has been removed from a Sticky Note that is being edited or replied to. Pressing Enter now needs to be used instead to save the changes.

New features

The following has been added in this release of Studio:

• Future support for Adobe 2025 has been added to the Desktop App while support for Adobe CC 2019 and older has been dropped. As part of our annual upgrade, the Studio Desktop App has been updated to support the latest version of Adobe: Adobe 2025.

Note: Please note that you will not be able to check files out of Adobe 2025 until we offer full support for it within our InDesign plug-ins, which is scheduled for release in March. However, the setting to enable this support will be available at the time of the plug-in launch. With this move to support Adobe 2025, we will also be phasing out support for older versions of Adobe Creative Cloud. This includes Adobe CC 2019 and older. More recent versions, starting from Adobe 2020 and above, will continue to be supported in the Studio Desktop App. We strongly encourage all users to stay up to date with the latest software versions to remain within the compatibility windows for both Adobe and WoodWing.

New features

The following has been added in this release of Studio:

• Users can now manage comments in a central location: the Comments feed of the Activity hub. A new area has been added to Studio: the Activity hub, currently containing one tab: the Comments feed. Here, users can view and manage comments in which they have been tagged. This gives a user a better overview of the conversations that the user is involved in, including the comments which still need acting upon.

This feature is available exclusively inside of WoodWing Studio Cloud.

The Activity hub can be accessed by clicking its icon in the top right corner of the page, next to the Inbox. A badge is shown when any comments exist which are marked as unread.

Figure: The icon for accessing the Activity hub.

The Comments feed shows all comments in which users have been tagged (see below). For each comment, details are shown such as a read/unread status, a link to the file the comment was added to, a summary of the comment, the age of the comment, and more.

Clicking a comment opens the thread for that comment, showing the same components that are shown as when replying to a comment in the Comments panel. Here, replies can be added, or the comment can be marked as resolved. Resolved comments can also be made active again here.

For more information, see Managing your comments in Studio.

• Users can now be tagged in a comment. To enhance team collaboration, users whose assistance is needed or who need to be made aware of what is being discussed can now be tagged in a comment. These users are then notified that they have been mentioned in the comment so that they can assist with resolving the comment.

This feature is available exclusively inside of WoodWing Studio Cloud.

Users can see and manage comments in which they have been tagged in the Comments feed of the Activity hub (see above).

To tag a user, type the @-symbol within any comment or reply, and select the user from the list that appears.

In a comment, tags for the currently logged in user has an orange background; tags for other users have a light-gray background.

For more information, see Adding a comment to any file anywhere in Studio.
