Latest | 2024 | 2023

Bulk publishing content items

February 11th, 2025

We’re very happy to bring you new options to quickly publish or unpublish multiple items simultaneously. With these new actions you can choose to publish or unpublish your chosen content items immediately or to schedule these actions for a future date.

These new features help you efficiently release and manage batches of content items, such as campaigns or updates that span several pieces of content, saving time and reducing manual effort. No more repetitive manual tasks means that you can manage your content faster, freeing up time to focus on strategy and creativity.

Check out the managing content docs for more details.

Introducing the Prepr Next.js package

February 5th, 2025

We’re excited to introduce the Prepr Next.js package, a powerful toolkit to streamline your personalization and A/B testing implementation. Now you can integrate Prepr’s features into your Next.js front end faster and more efficiently with the following features:

• It provides API request headers for the following values:
  • Each visitor's customer ID. You need this API request header, Prepr-Customer-Id, when you query adaptive content and content with A/B testing.
  • Any UTM parameters, if applicable. This is useful to identify customers who enter your website through a social media campaign, for example.
  • HubSpot cookie, if it exists. This is useful for identifying customers who are tracked in HubSpot as a lead, for example.
  • The visitor's IP address. This is useful for localization.

• The Adaptive Preview Bar. When you include this component in your front end, you allow content editors to effortlessly toggle between A/B test variants and personalized experiences for validation.

  

Check out the Prepr Next.js package guide or visit the GitHub repository (opens in a new tab) directly for the step-by-step instructions to install and use the package.

Tracking customers by their email address

February 5th, 2025

You can now track a visitor's email address and store it in their customer profile in Prepr. You can do this by triggering a simple javascript in your front end when the customer provides their email address in the web app.

prepr('event', 'Email', 'jesse.ward@acme-company.com');

Check out the Storing customer properties doc for more details.

This feature makes it easier to track customer interactions in other platforms you might be using, enabling more insights.

Improved Publication date filter for the content item list

January 15th, 2025

We're happy to bring you an improved publication date filter when you view the content items list. The previously called Published on filter is now called Publication date for greater clarity. This filter is based on the content item Publication date instead of the previous Publish on dates. We've also updated the date selection for this filter to support future dates, allowing you to easily find not only past published content items, but also scheduled content items.

For more details on filtering content items, check out the managing content doc.

New info text to indicate null boolean values

January 14th, 2025

We've added info text to indicate when a boolean value is null in a content item. This info text indicates that you need to explicitly set a value for this field and save the content item.

Sync your schema with Azure DevOps

January 13th, 2025

We're happy to announce that we've added another option to the Schema sync feature in Prepr. You can now choose to sync a schema using Azure DevOps. If your preferred tool for CI/CD workflows and source control management is Azure DevOps, you can include the sync process to manage schema updates in this single platform.

Check out the step-by-step guide in the Azure DevOps schema sync doc.

Support for Stories in the REST API has been fully removed

January 13th, 2025

Following the deprecation of Stories in Prepr UI in January 2024, we have now completed the removal process by eliminating all related functionality from our REST API. We trust that this update has very limited impact, if at all, but please ensure your integrations are updated, if needed. Contact Prepr support if you have any questions.

Duplicate models, components and enumerations instantly

January 7th, 2025

We're happy to bring you yet another feature you've requested - The option to duplicate models, components, and enumerations.

Quickly create similar models, components or enumerations without the need to manually add each field. This saves you time and reduces errors by duplicating existing structures, streamlining your workflow for faster content modeling and delivery.

For more details, check out the content modeling docs.

Improved image naming and URL structure

January 6th, 2025

We're pleased to let you know that we've improved how image files are named and how their URLs are set in Prepr CMS.

Now when you upload new images, they retain their original file name. The optimized URL for each image also includes a cleaner prefix after the hostname, providing a more structured and consistent format for better organization and readability.

Example
Previous URL structure: https://example.stream.prepr.io/{format_options}/695a4d1eiaom-sustainability.png
New URL structure: https://example.stream.prepr.io/695a4d1eiaom/{format_options}/sustainability.png

These changes make it easier for you to manage these assets, better visibility, and they align with SEO best practices.
