Magnolia 6.2 — a long-term service release — is has become available. This version includes a number of exciting new features that include the following.
Visual SPA Editor
The Visual SPA Editor empowers marketers to use the Magnolia Pages app to edit headless projects built with frameworks like Angular, React, and Vue. This includes component and layout control, live previews, personalization features, and content reuse capabilities for single page apps.
Multisource Content
Marketers can use content and data from PIM, DAM, CMS, or other external repositories within Magnolia apps, forms, and templates, as if it was local content. This capability is possible with light development, where developers declare REST clients using YAML to pull data from third-party systems.
Connector Packs
Companies can use connector packs to easily integrate multiple systems to form a best-of-breed digital experience platform. This latest release includes updates to the existing Commerce Connector and Analytics Connector to include support for Salesforce Commerce and Adobe Analytics.
In addition, there’s a new DAM Connector Pack with support for S3 and Bynder to leverage existing digital assets within the Magnolia platform. Finally, there’s also a Marketing Automation Connector Pack that support’s Adobe Marketo and Salesforce, as well as an API for writing connectors to other third-party tools.
UI Framework
The first IUX slot is available within the AdminCentral UI, where developers can include charts, widgets, and other elements from integrated applications. IUX slots will help eliminate the need for users to switch contexts between the Magnolia platform and third-party tools, which allows for much deeper integrations with other systems.
