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
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.
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.
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.
