1. Automation for purging the CDN cache

   Currently, when content authors choose to upload image or other media files and replace existing media with the same name, the old replaced media lingers in the CDN cache. The CDN cache can be quickly purged through the PaaS portal, but this is a manual step that requires accessing another site outside the CMS itself.

   It would be good if Optimizely could provide an API to purge the CDN cache. This would allow development around purging the CDN cache.

   But ideally, functionality could be built into CMS for this. When replacing an existing media file with the same name, CMS could have the ability to use the Cloudflare API to purge that file from the cache by URL ("Purge Cached Content by URL" in the Cloudflare documentation at https://developers.cloudflare.com/api/resources/cache/methods/purge/. ).

2. Implement Image Renditions for CMS

   The Optimizely Content Marketing Platform has a feature called "Image Renditions" which has several features to reduce friction for Web Editors managing images in the CMS.

   This entire feature set looks promising, but here are 3 Key features which I'm most hungry for addition to the CMS:
   • Option to Resize & Crop at the same time
   • The addition of focal points for images
   • The creation and management of multiple instances of a single image asset, in order to optimize view for the image to be displayed in multiple aspect ratios.

   Please consider adding this feature set, or any of its sub-features, to the Optimizely CMS.

   See documentation on this feature set here: https://support.optimizely.com/hc/en-us/articles/11190755829773-Image-renditions

   Thank you for raising this feedback. We continue to develop our CMS x DAM integration and absolutely recognise the need for renditions in CMS. This is something we plan to bring to the product in the near future.

3. Localised Alt Text Support with CMS/DAM Integration

   There is no option to add Alt Text in multiple languages to assets when using the DAM Asset Picker within the CMS.

   With the European Accessibility Act (EAA) taking effect in June it is imperative that we are able to maintain the level of accessibility (via localised alt text) that we had prior to using the DAM integration.

4. SaaS CMS -- undo/redo feature within versions

   On PaaS CMS, there's an ability to roll back/undo changes made within a content version during the current session (see screenshot).

   For ex: if I make multiple changes to this page, then clicking that "Undo" link will revert the last change (and clicking it again will revert the prior change, etc) all within the current content version.

   In PaaS, if you leave the CMS, or just change pages within the CMS, that link goes away, but it can be helpful at times -- would be great to have this available in SaaS CMS.

6. Allow authorable field names in Forms

   With the new SaaS forms, there is no way to set a custom field name. I can add an additional field to a from field in the CMS, but if I do that, I am blocked from publishing the form field. Field name is essential. When you submit a form in HTML, the 'name' attribute on a property is how the form knows what to submit. The examples you provide suggest formatting the label value. This is insufficient. An example of why this is a problem: If I am submitting a form to a third party service, like Eloqua, the names of the fields MUST match the names of the fields in Eloqua. Currently, there is not a good way to accomplish this.

7. Support Geo Seach on Content Types

   I work on a tourism website where many of our content types are tied to a Geographic location. We would like the ability to 'Geo Search' the graph but I understand this is not possible using content types (i.e. PageData, BlockData etc). I am to understand this is only possible using custom types.

   1 - Can the Geo Search capability be extended to support content types (pages and blocks etc)?
   2 - In the meantime, to avoid confusion, can the documentation (https://docs.developers.optimizely.com/platform-optimizely/docs/geo-search) be updated to reflect that this is only possible on custom types?

8. SaaS CMS BasePage Type

   In PaaS, we could create a base page type, and then actual pages inherit from this, ensuring all pages have the same base set of fields. This is very convenient for several reasons:

   1. When creating a new page type, I only need to define the fields that are unique to the page type

   2. If I want to perform some action that looks at all pages, I have a hard time. I have to explicitly call out each page type for my graph query, and I cannot perform any query type actions like filtering based on fields that are custom to a page type.

   For example:

   I want to add a check box to all pages called "Exclude From Search". Then I want to create a my site search query. To get all pages I query on type _Page. But I cannot filter for this "Exclude From Search" field on the type _Page.

   It would be great to add fields right to _Page, or some other intermediary type, that I can query.

11. SaaS CMS Inconsistent Date formats

    When editing a DateTime property in the CMS Content Types panel the date time is using my local format of dd/mm/yyyy. When a CMS Editor edits on the page the DateTime format changed to mm/dd/yyyy. It would be nice if DateTime pickers used the users local DateTime format throughout the CMS.

14. Nested Content Issues

    Nested Content Issues

    I’ve been trying to create blocks with content areas, where some blocks are nested inside others due to the structure. I’ve identified two scenarios:

    Manual tree creation from scratch:
    When building the “tree” manually, the CMS seems to save the changes, but those changes are not published in the corresponding child block. Instead, they appear to be stored at the top-level parent component. As a result, the system detects that nested components exist, but their configuration/content is missing — leading to empty components being sent to the frontend.

    Using pre-existing components:
    When assembling the “tree” using already created blocks, the system correctly detects and publishes them. This suggests that the issue specifically affects newly created components within the same tree.

    This behavior can significantly impact the content editing experience, especially for users familiar with the CMS PaaS, where nested content creation and publishing works seamlessly.

17. Inconsistent trailing slash behavior with Simple Address in SaaS CMS + Content Graph

    I'm encountering an inconsistency when working with URLs in the SaaS CMS frontend using Content Graph. All content URLs returned from Graph include a trailing slash except for those using the Simple Address feature — see screenshot for reference.

    This inconsistency makes it difficult to reliably match URLs when resolving routing on the frontend. Since URL comparison often involves exact string matches, the mismatch in trailing slash behavior leads to additional logic and potential edge cases.
