PaperThin has announced the availability of CommonSpot Content Server version 4.5, the company’s flagship Web content management solution.

This release introduces expanded authoring support for the Mac platform and for Mozilla-based browsers such as FireFox. New collaboration features include email review.

Keeping with tradition and making good on one of their selling points, PaperThin has driven feature requirements directly from customer feedback.

“The new features in CommonSpot 4.5 are a direct result of PaperThin’s commitment to work closely with its customers to deliver high quality products and value,” said Gideon Sanstra, Web Applications Manager, National Louis University.

Authoring Enhancements
Full authoring and administrative functionality is now available under any Mozilla-based browser, including Mozilla 1.7, FireFox 1.0, and Netscape 7.2. Content can now be authored, published or approved on the Mac, Windows and Linux platforms.

Collaborative authoring enables content authors to view ’Work in Progress’ by other authors, and if authorized, take ownership of the content for further editing.

A new ’Email Review’ feature has been added, allowing a user to send a preview of a page via email to someone who is not involved in the authoring and publishing process.

A context sensitive help system with links to recorded Webinars helps facilitate integration of the tool in the organization.

Enterprise Features
A Web Services-based content import facility now available in CommonSpot 4.5 enables developers to easily populate a CommonSpot site with content from external sites or systems, and allows for the ongoing consumption of syndicated content. This feature significantly reduces the time if takes to migrate content into CommonSpot while ensuring that the latest information is automatically updated and always available.

Full UTF-8 support enables organizations to publish content in any language including multi-byte UNICODE languages. Enhancements to the user interface have also been implemented to better accommodate the display of content for organizations with a large amount of content.
