Our CMS integrations continue getting some investment from the product team. Based on our customer feedback, we shipped multiple improvements for our most popular CMS integrations:

Component highlighter has been re-worked to be more capable and now works on both parameter and component level. You are now able to do more with the highlighter - create personalizations and A/B tests, navigate the hierarchy of your page and rely a lot less on the left-side structure panel. The highlighter selection is synced with the property panel, making it easier to see what you are editing in context.

This capability brings the best in class generative AI services right into your visual workspace and creating and optimizing prompts in your project. First set of integrations include OpenAI, Writer and OctoAI Stable Diffusion. Customers can easily bring any custom model or service using new Mesh extensions.

With this capability, Uniform makes it one step easier for digital teams to embrace and fast-track the journey to composable digital experience architectures. Uploading and managing image assets in a Uniform visual workspace without installing or configuring an integration is now possible. On top of that, Uniform Mesh now features a new class of DAM integrations, allowing it to surface external assets natively within the Uniform Asset Library.

Current DAM support includes Cloudinary and Scaleflex FileRobot, and more integrations are coming soon.

Blocks further expands Uniform's experience modeling options and are represented in both - a new parameter type on components and a new field type on entries, allowing repeatable data or content structures to be managed on compositions or entries. Bocks are created using the new Block parameter type when creating a new content type. Like components, blocks are stored within an entry or component instance on a composition and are not individually addressable via UI or API.

Next.js 14 is out, and App Router is now a default way of building new Next.js web apps and websites. Keeping up with the innovations in this hyper-active space, today we released our new SDK for Next.js apps with support for App Router and React Server components. This SDK has been in preview for the last couple of months, and we already have customers in production using it.

You can learn more about this new SDK in our blog post here.

Component Starter Kit has been a hit with Uniform customers and partners since its original release earlier this year. This open-source foundation for modern web projects based on React, Next.js, TailwindCSS, and Typescript got even better with this update.

Besides this, animation control on Hero, Gallery, Card, and other key components, pattern visual editing enabled, header improvement, and many other exciting improvements.

To start with Component Starter Kit, check out the repo, the tutorial, and the demo.

Healthy boundaries are important for any relationship - and Uniform is no different! That’s why we’ve added custom roles and permissions to Canvas and Context, letting you control who can read, create, edit and publish in your Uniform project, as well as technical and integration settings. These permissions can be created at the level of a composition type, giving you truly granular control over who can do what - avoiding accidents and letting teams focus on what matters to them. To learn more about how to create roles you can check ourdocs or watch our Product Manager William walk you through it.

Custom roles are now free for all paying customers and partners on new projects.

Patterns represent a crucial part of visual workspace. Patterns are the pre-configured components with default settings and be pre-connected to content sources. With this product update, patterns became a lot more powerful, and now visually editable!
