Contentful updates platform with new content management features

Contentful, a provider of content infrastructure for digital teams, is introducing new features to its platform designed to enhance and streamline the management of content at scale.

These new features provide enterprises with a set of tools to create a custom authoring hub, which organizations can use as a single control center to create, optimize, and deliver content across their entire digital footprint.

With the new authoring hub, Contentful is one step closer to providing an agile CMS solution which can handle the needs of all digital business teams, initiatives, and channels, with the UI custom-tailored to each.

The authoring hub solves three critical problems – content creators can produce all content in one place; third-party tools and data-backed insights can be embedded directly into the authoring environment; and developers can easily deliver content across all digital channels and customer touchpoints.

The new feature set includes:

• Rich Text Editor (RTE) - a modern implementation of the classical concept: author content in an intuitive way, while delivering it in a structured format.
• Customizable Sidebar - helps teams be more productive by exposing the tools and data they need within the authoring environment.
• Extension Framework - provides modern tooling, including a newly open-sourced Contentful design system, for easily building, styling, and deploying in-app widgets and service integrations.
• GraphQL API - a query format that enables developers to turn siloed backends into streamlined, high-performance apps and websites.

The Authoring Hub builds on the Contentful Content Hub, which enterprises use to aggregate all of their content in one place and easily update, audit, or share it on any platform.

With a wide partner network, Contentful also achieved Amazon Web Services (AWS) Digital Customer Experience (DCX) Competency status, which recognizes that Contentful provides proven technology and deep expertise to help Digital Customer Experience customers by providing end-to-end solutions for all phases of the digital customer acquisition and retention life cycle.
