Feature recap: Page Settings Editor

MindTouch recently launched a new feature called the Page Settings Editor. In this blog post, we’ll address the questions and feedback that we’ve received to help you get the most value out of this new release.

Why did we create the Page Settings Editor?

Our team decided to create the Page Settings Editor because we wanted to resolve the usability issues that existed in the previous Overview editing experience. These are some of the improvements.

  • To terminate the overview of the article, you no longer need a header of equal value (h1 – h6) immediately after the header that’s used for Overview.
  • Localized MindTouch sites can have the Overview header localized within the body of an article.
  • Add an Overview to the LightSpeed navigation pages (Categories and Guides) without having to edit the page.
  • Provide an Overview within the article for the benefit of the reader along with a separate summary for search and the LightSpeed Framework navigation pages.

The Page Settings Editor aligns with additional features in MindTouch including:

  • GeniusSearch – Easily add images for Guides and Categories
  • LightSpeed Framework – Upcoming enhancements will leverage the new Page Settings Editor

Why can’t I use DekiScript in the Page Settings Editor?

Previously, if you added DekiScript to the old Overview section, the search would show the executed, static version of the DekiScript at the time of indexing as opposed to a dynamic version. The new Page Settings limit the ability to add DekiScript which enables the summary to be more general.

Can I keep the Overview in the article and use Page Settings?

Yes. If you want to keep DekiScript within the Overview section of the page, you can still do so. Just make sure to update Page Settings for the benefit of search and LightSpeed Framework.

Do I have to migrate overviews into the Page Settings Editor?

Yes. We migrated as many articles as we could from the old Overviews to the new Page Settings Editor. If an article has DekiScript in the Overview, then we marked it and surfaced it in the Page Settings report. You can read more about this here in our documentation.

Can I get help with migrating my Overviews?

If you have a lot of articles (500+) in your Page Settings report and are ok with having your DekiScript being executed as Anonymous, we can help you migrate them. It will take a while, but please feel free to contact us at support@mindtouch.com. We’ll get you queued up and let you know when we can process the migration.

Additional Questions?

Make sure you review our documentation on the Page Settings editor. If you have feedback on the feature, please send an email to feedback@mindtouch.com.
