Introducing Audit Logs

For larger organizations, observability is one of the key aspects when deciding for a software vendor. With our latest release, we added Audit Logs to GraphCMS. Audit Logs help you to track all changes that happened to your schema and content.

Audit logs are part of our enterprise offering. Get a demo now!

New Reference Editor

Building complex content models can be challenging. To make the process easier for you, we have redesigned our reference editor to smoothly guide you through the process of connecting models.

A New API for Uploading Assets

Uploading assets to GraphCMS just got much easier with our new API for asset uploads! You can upload assets from your file system or from a remote URL.

It can be used with a simple POST request. The same authentication mechanisms as for regular content API calls apply. Make sure to "Allow Mutations" on your token or endpoint to be able to upload assets.

curl -XPOST -F fileUpload=@picture.jpg <url-endpoint>

You can find more information on the new upload endpoint in the docs.

New Clear Action in Content Form

We have added a handy new clear button to reset field values to null.

Redesign of Our In-app Notifications

The In-app notifications within GraphCMS got an improved new design.

In addition to this, there have been several tweaks, fixes and improvements across the board. Stay tuned for another exciting release in the coming days!

Download the DXP report

We recently published a report titled "Modernizing Enterprise Tech Stacks by Embracing Modular Digital Experience Platforms (DXPs)".

The purpose of this report is to highlight how companies can take control of their tech stacks to decide what works best for them, rather than falling prey to legacy software practices that are expensive, hard to maintain, and result in overwhelming monetary and human-hour overheads.

We take an in-depth dive into going over the current DXP landscape, what a microservice led DXP is, and what benefits this approach has when forgoing monolith lock-ins.
