A new warning has been added to the Publications configuration screen to alert admins when "Sandbox Only" mode is enabled but publication Owners still have permission to publish. In this scenario, any user who creates a sandbox publication can still push changes to production, potentially bypassing the intended protection. The system now displays a warning message when this configuration is detected, guiding admins to review and adjust permissions for the Owner role accordingly.
 

Key benefits:

• Prevent accidental publishing by alerting admins when Owner permissions still allow publishing in Sandbox mode.

• Increase visibility into role-based permissions that may unintentionally allow production changes.

Connecting Asset Libraries to Site Templates allows content creators to validate new assets directly within a template before deploying them to live sites. This feature fills a critical gap where templates currently can’t access Asset Library assets, forcing users to create full sites just to test content. This inefficiency leads to errors and poor user experience.

 

Key Benefits

1. Improves Efficiency and Workflow: It saves time by letting content creators test sites and assets directly in the Site Template. This eliminates the need to create a new site for every round of testing, which is a slow and cumbersome process.

2. Enhances Data Integrity: This feature prevents the creation of orphaned reference links that occur when a template’s content pages point to Asset Libraries it can’t access. These broken links can cause unexpected behavior and data corruption.

3. Reduces UI Errors: By ensuring proper connections between templates and asset libraries, the feature mitigates UI errors that happen when editing site connections with orphaned data. This provides a more stable and reliable user interface for managing site assets.

Highlights

Site Templates can now be connected to Asset Libraries. New sites generated with a Site Template connected an Asset Library will automatically be connected that Asset Library.

 

To prevent token duplication in lower-level environments, we’re introducing a new portal property. When set to true in the portal-ext.properties file, this property will automatically clear the AC connection on startup. This ensures that if the production token is copied to a UAT environment during migration, it will be removed on startup—preventing data contamination, eliminating the need for manual disconnection, and preserving the integrity of the AC connection in production.

Highlights

 

1. Prevents data contamination between environments

2. Eliminates the need for manual disconnection

3. Preserves production data integrity
