Feature
Jahia has kicked off 2018 by releasing Jahia DX 7220 — the latest edition of its digital experience platform.
Jahia DX 7220 boasts a new user interface (UI), code-named ‘Anthracite’ which, “reflects feedbacks gathered from customers focus groups carried out along the development phase.”
According to Jahia, the new interface has three major characteristics:
- In-context website management (or an in-line editing mode) that gives Jahia users larger work spaces.
- Modern and consistent UI through all digital experience capabilities, especially for integrated digital asset management features and out-of-context content management features.
- The option to activate or deactivate the new interface at both the user and administrator level.
Jahia is also organizing a GDPR-dedicated event on Feb. 6 in Paris to help organizations ready themselves for the May 25, 2018 arrival of the EU data regulations. To get your ticket, head over to the full program and registration form.
