Post-migration bug fixes (April 4, 2024)

v3.12.2 hotfix (Dec. 19, 2023)

v3.11.0 (August 9, 2023)

SCCM Markdown Processing

  • UGP-9150 - Limited rollout of video transcripts. If video transcripts are enabled in a repo, writers can add {transcript=true} to a VIDEO component to display the transcript below the video. Writers can also preview and edit video transcripts to ensure quality. Localization issues with transcripts are still being addressed.
  • UGP-9114: Support additional headings (h3 and below) in KCS articles.
  • UGP-8133: Add sub-solution to documentation metadata. Currently, authors fail to specify the parent/child relationship properly for solutions and sub-solutions, content filters may not work properly. With this change, authors can specify solution: Experience Manager Assets without adding the Experience Manager parent, and the search filter will still work.

Discoverability Support

Features

  • UGP-7961: Ability to check absolute links in TOC. Repos can be configured to check for broken absolute links in TOC that results in warning or error.

Display

  • *Scrollable right nav- that remains in sync when user scrolls down.
  • Updated *CSS- to more accurately reflect Spectrum (adobe.com) styles, especially around spacing. Note that in markdown tables, <p> is a paragraph break while <br> is a line break.
  • Overhauled feedback UI.

  • Flag duplicate metadata items as errors. Duplicate metadata items were causing problems with the exl-id process.
