This update introduces the long-awaited Multi-User Checkout feature, improvements to publishing reliability, and a number of bug fixes for a smoother experience across your CMS.
🚀 New Features
🧑🤝🧑Multi-User Checkout
Multiple users can now edit the same site at the same time!
Previously, checkout was handled at the site level—locking the entire site for a single user. Now, checkout occurs at the page level, allowing different users to edit different pages simultaneously.
-
Only one user can edit a specific page at a time.
-
Page structure changes (like moving or deleting pages) are restricted if they could affect another user.
-
This change makes team collaboration faster and more efficient.
📅 Scheduled Global Publishing for Large Websites
Catapult automatically syncs your template everynight which then requires a longer full site publish. To reduce the impact of large, site-wide publishes during peak hours:
-
Full site rebuilds and publishes are now automatically scheduled for early morning hours (roughly 2:00 AM – 6:00 AM PST).
-
The "Force Publish" option is now restricted to Super Users only.
-
Currently active only for sites using the new IIS Navigation system.
This helps avoid delays and improves publishing performance for all users.
📄 Page Count Limit
A new configuration option lets you control the maximum number of pages on a site.
-
Default limit: 500 pages per site (applies to sites with fewer than 500 pages).
-
Sites with more than 500 pages currently have no limit applied.
-
Limits apply individually to each site, including attached and unattached subsites.
Admins can manage this setting in Site Properties.
