  1. I've noticed that blocks that are "shared" and coming from a folder no longer show that they are shared in the UI.
    EPiServer.Cms.Shell.UI: Version 12.24.0.0
    This appears to be happening on multiple projects running CMS 12. See attached.

  2. As a developer I want to be able to expand more than one level in the Content Delivery API to be able to retrieve nested properties in content areas. When doing this, I want to be able to control the maximum number of levels to expand.

  3. Is there a way to track or identify the user who modified the access rights in Episerver/CMS? It appears that someone has changed the access permissions using the 'Set Access Rights' feature.
    We need to determine who made these changes to ensure proper access control and prevent unauthorized modifications. Is there any audit log, system event tracking, or CMS activity history that can help us trace the user responsible for this action? Any insights or recommendations on how to retrieve this information would be greatly appreciated.

  4. While the updated CMS area in Optimizely 12 has improved in many ways, some parts of the UI have been changed in a way that makes editing more difficult.
    One such area is the language settings, where previously only languages that had settings associated with them were displayed. It was not until editing the settings that all languages were displayed. The UI is also more spacious now in general, with more padding and larger font sizes, which leads to less items visible at one time.
    Furthermore, the popup is too narrow to display all columns when more than 4-5 languages…

  5. Audience groups should include the dependent items that use them, similar to blocks, this will give visibility to authors on all the effect areas where that personalization was used when a change is made

  6. In our solution, we have 31 different languages, and thus a lot of language fallbacks both for pages and blocks. In CMS 11, we could easily spot the blocks in a content area that were a fallback, it would be a slightly darker grey and also had the locale name it was falling back to on it. In CMS 12, this functionality disappeared. Our editors use a lot of blocks on their pages and are missing this sorely. Could you please consider readding this feature?

  7. Please put Smart Publish back in the Publish menu. It disappeared in the move to CMS 12 and the only thing my team can find that's even close is to the same functionality is to:
    1. Create a new Project.
    2. Make any changes in the new project.
    3. Hit Overview.
    4. Publish Items from Overview .
    Not only is that not intuitive at all, but it's significantly more work (especially if you forget and make a bunch of changes in the Primary Draft, because then you have to redo them in the new Project.

  8. For example: We need to add the culture en-ES for a customer. It exists as a valid culture in .NET but is not available to select as a language in the CMS.
    (In our setup it is not an option to use the default en language code for English on the spanish site.

  9. I am a developer, and editors are demanding they want a functionality where on click of Publish button all blocks will get published for editors in CMS12. Earlier it was available in CMS11.

  10. Currently when Applications are provisioned, the application name is auto generated and not changeable. This makes it hard in the long term to align support tickets which align to a specific customer site/application, which delays support and contributes to errors. Creating the ability for these names to be changed will improve support and reduce confusion.

  11. Customers who upgrade CMS versions using Self service (11->12) tooling lose access to ADEs unless they specifically request them to be re-provisioned. They should be moved over as part of the migration process. As a standard all provisioned environments including ADE's should be spun up when a migration is completed.

  12. I use Auto-Transalte a lot but I don't want the Name, URL and Reference to be translated automatically.

    When handling multiple language websites it is practical to keep the Name, URL & Reference in English.

    The URL I can change manually if necessary

  13. As a content editor,
    I want to search for existing blocks within the “Select Content” shortcut window, so that I can quickly find and reuse the required content without manually browsing through multiple options.

    Background / Problem Statement:

    Currently, when creating a new block in Optimizely CMS, users are presented with two options:
    Create a new block
    Select content

    When selecting “Select Content”, a shortcut window opens displaying available blocks. However, this window lacks a search functionality, making it difficult and time-consuming to locate specific content, especially when the number of blocks is large.

    Navigation Path:

    Main Content → Select…

  14. I am a Technical Support Engineer submitting this feedback on behalf of a customer. The customer is using Optimizely CMS and relies on Optimizely Graph to synchronize content between the CMS and the search index.

    Currently, the CMS shows synchronization status only under the Options menu. The text labels such as "Not changed since last publish" or "Synchronize with Optimizely Graph" are not visually prominent. Editors cannot quickly determine whether a page is already synchronized, out of sync, or requires re-synchronization. This makes it difficult for editors to know the current state of content without navigating menus.

    The customer suggests…

  15. We need to configure roles in Optimizely to grant specific users permission to use the Import and Export functionality.

    Access must be restricted based on the users’ assigned business units. For example, if a user is assigned access only to Asteco, they should be able to perform import and export activities strictly within the business units (e.g., Asteco and Pactive) aligned with their permissions.

    Users must not have visibility of or access to any other projects beyond their assigned business units.

  16. As of now all sites share the same Wastebasket in a multisite. We need site-specific wastbaskets so that only the editors with access to a site (and wastebasket) can go to the site-specific wastebasket and delete content. Closing in to almost 100 sites with extreme amounts of data, our wastebasket is not possible to navigate - even for admins.

  17. Global Digital Marketing Director.

    When I copy and paste a page in the tree its status is always published or maybe it is the same of the page it is being copied from. I want to make the status of that page unpublished by default and then publish is manually later on, without requiring additional development work.

    There have been other threads about this in the past eg https://world.optimizely.com/forum/developer-forum/CMS/Thread-Container/2018/5/copy-and-pasted-pages-always-have-published-status/

  18. For stringlist and linkitemcollection properties, we could see the values are just duplicated and not translated to native text during the auto translate of page.
    The issue is reproducible in Alloy solution and attached the evidence for the same.
    Also, please find the attached email from Optimizely team as well.

  19. Editors spend unspeakable amounts of time scrolling to the end of the Blocks and Media etc tabs in the Asset Pane to get to the 'For This Page/Block'. Mostly editors use local assets and so the folder 'For This Page/Block' should always be pinned to the top of these tabs.

  20. In the documentation it says that it is possible to enable previews of unpublished content delivered by Content Delivery API https://docs.developers.optimizely.com/content-management-system/v1.5.0-content-delivery-api/docs/customizing-content-delivery-api-for-edit-view. However the example that is provided wont work since HttpContextContextModeResolver that it uses checks for values in the current request that indicates that the request is made to the cms edit mode.
    This will never be true when you are using Content Delivery API to fetch the content since the request is made to /api/episerver/v3.0/content/... and not /episerver/cms/...
    In my opinion, Optimizely should have a built in way of previewing unpublished content delivered by Content Delivery API or…
