As it is possible in the Preview, users will be able to toggle to another viewport directly within the editing experience - allowing them to see how content will appear on various devices without having to Preview.
Add search and filter options to the Design System wizard step, prefilled from metadata when available, making it easier to find relevant design systems across DAM sources.
Enable document creation directly within Activator by selecting metadata and design systems—removing the need to pre-create documents in the DAM and streamlining the setup process.
Revamping the publishing process to separate it from internal document workflows, ensuring clearer stages, better performance, and a more reliable content release pipeline.
Define and enforce Activator user roles based on DAM definitions, enabling tailored access and feature controls for Content Editors, Content Designers, and Brand Designers.
"Improved error handling for DAM communication, ensuring users receive clear, actionable messages when issues occur—enhancing transparency and reducing confusion during media selection.
Enhancing the eDetailer channel with support for slide reordering and document duplication, giving users greater flexibility when managing and customizing presentations.
Ability for users to use local (uploaded directly to a document and used only by it) assets and shared (available across all documents associated to the same Design System), and ensure they are packaged with the document upon distribution.
Design Systems shift from folder-based files to Activator-managed documents with versioning and governance. Resources (layouts, media, configs) are standalone docs linked via parent-child graphs, enabling easier updates, better performance, and controlled customization.
Users can upload files and assets directly into Activator as local (document-specific), shared (via the Design System), or DAM-linked files. DAM uploads create new documents in the DAM, which Activator then imports and references.
Add UI support for downloading and uploading translation files (Excel/XLIFF), enabling users to localize content efficiently. Includes translation popup, file validation, and optional 'Translate with Arcane' integration.
Support for automatic use of CDN URLs or public links when selecting media from DAM systems, ensuring faster load times and optimized asset delivery for emails and web documents.
Modular Content contains the options to review and import, as well as use predefined Content Modules and the items within. Items from a content module can then be linked to different Elements within a Layouy, such as headlines, paragraphs and/or images.
Extend the existing MLR View and Report to consider actual Content Modules and how they deviate. This will be indicated with the "traffic-light system".
Generate a unified MLR report for entire Collections by combining existing slide-level PDFs in order—streamlining regulatory review without manual downloads or merges.
Add a dedicated source code editor allowing users to edit document source directly in Activator.
Activator should support selecting from multiple available renditions of an image, tracking which rendition is used, and configuring default renditions per channel (e.g., 640px for Email, 1024px for Slides). This prepares Activator for more flexible and channel-specific asset handling.
Share enables users to share a preview link with others, download a PDF with the current state of the document, or export translation files as well as the source code for the document.
Mark a document as a favorite by clicking the star icon to make it easy to find again. All your favorites are available from the tab on the Dashboard.
Notes make it possible to leave comments directly in the document, potentially for someone else to review or change.
Users should be able to see where a document or asset is used across Collections and other documents, helping manage dependencies.
Enable side-by-side comparison of two documents during translation, helping users align and verify localized content more easily and accurately.
Extended Notifications is another layer to the Snackbar notifications. It will provide the user with a log of prior notifications, which are (persistently) gathered and found in the Notification Bell.
The Briefcase enables copying across documents using the same Design System. Copy as many items as you need from one document, open another document, and see your copied items displayed in the Briefcase to simply drag into your document.
Generate detailed MLR reports for Collections with overviews, slide details, page numbering, and more.
