Simplify Selecting and Modifying Templates with an MVC-First Approach
MVC is the preferred technology for Sitefinity implementations. Furthering enhancements in Sitefinity 11, our latest release now simplifies the selecting and modifying of page templates. With default templates for MVC and hybrid frameworks, you do not need to start from scratch with a new template. And once you select a template and its framework, changing it is as simple as selecting from the template list from the same framework.
Manage Pages in No Time
Our new highly-intuitive page management interface offers the same sleek and modern design patterns as the content interface delivered in Sitefinity 11. Content editors and web managers now benefit from easy navigation between pages, page lists, page creation, and page editing screens, and use advanced filters to find sections they want. Page creation is streamlined by reducing the number of properties needed to create a page. Additionally, when working with content in multiple languages, content editors benefit from enhanced language preview options.
Enjoy Unified Content Editing Experience Throughout the Entire Content Lifecycle
Sitefinity 12 further improves marketer productivity for day-to-day content edits through its unified content management experience.
The content block now leverages a new content editor that delivers code validation, syntax highlighting and autocomplete to power users.
Roll Out Rule-Based Forms with Ease
Create dynamic forms based on a set of custom rules. These more efficient forms
dynamically display or hide form fields and then redirect visitors to specific pages, based on information entered providing a more personalized experience.
Synchronize Single Items or Multiple Pages Between Environments — No IT Help Required
Promoting changes to individual content items or pages via
SiteSync is now faster, easier and much more reliable. Content editors can sync a single page or content item directly from the context-sensitive menus. Editors can control what they sync and immediately check availability of updates without waiting for a scheduled automatic SiteSync process managed by IT or admins.
Effortlessly Map Forms to Digital Experience Cloud (DEC)
For Online Marketing and Enterprise
Editions simplified form field mapping for sending contact data to
DEC data mapping configuration is now accessible via form properties, in the same configuration as for
HubSpot and
Eloqua form fields. Syncing form data to DEC helps build comprehensive contact profiles to enable targeted and personalized web content delivered through Sitefinity CMS.
Built for Speed
System administrators can now finetune the page output caching behavior. You can instruct Sitefinity CMS to serve the current cache version of the page to website visitors for a predefined short period of time, and meanwhile warm-up the new version of the page in cache in the background. This way you achieve increased scalability and provide visitors with faster page load times.
