      CatapultCMS 2.28 Release: Multi-User Checkout, Publishing Improvements & Bug Fixes

      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

      🧑‍🤝‍🧑(Coming Soon)  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.

      📄 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.

      📅 Scheduled Global Publishing

      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.

      🐞 Bug Fixes

      • Fixed a typo in an error popup in the main Editor.

      • Data Importer Fixes:

        • Now correctly allows document uploads instead of forcing a link selection.

        • Properly handles FM3Folders that don’t have an FM3 Tag.

      • HTML Component Element now correctly renders global images.

      • Global Links Bug Fixes:

        • Resolved a conflict between old and new technology versions that caused links to point to outdated or incorrect pages, resulting in 404 errors.

        • IIS handler now correctly processes sub-directories and query strings.
