Next is Now: What Sitecore’s Big Shift Means for AI and XM/XP Customers

Blog summary: I had the opportunity to represent RBA at this year’s Sitecore Symposium, and it was clear from the moment the event opened that Sitecore is entering a new era. The announcements were significant, the energy was high, and the roadmap signals a meaningful shift in how digital experience will evolve across the platform.

Feeling like a Kid in a Candy Store with #Sitecore Stream for 10.4 DXP

One of the things announce during Symposium that Sitecore Stream would be available for all platforms. I got to first use it in the Content Hub, but I was finally able to try it on DXP. I found it is available on the demo portal so I quickly deployed a new site. So here is the features I found and some fun tests I was able to do.

#Sitecore Back to Basics : Unlock Time Savings Using Raw Values.

Shortcuts = time savers. Sometimes the easy way is just as efficient as the hard way. Raw values are not just something that is checked in the content editor menu ribbon by accident. Utilizing them can save valuable time and also help you fix things that are not so easy to fix. I will take you through some examples when I have used them.

#Sitecore Content Hub Variants – The AI Translator is Here

Recently an update came out for creating Content Hub Variants. With this new change you can take an original content piece and create a variant of it in a different language. The process automatically translates the text for you. This update is a big deal to me. Especially with multi-lingual sites I work on. Sometimes, I need translated text for a placeholder. No more Google Translate cut and paste. I am sure this will save a lot of time for content authors.

Back to Basics of #Sitecore Versioning and Languages. The Shape Shifting of Content

Sometimes things are perfect just the way they are, but a lot of times thing evolve and changes are necessary. Sitecore has a way to make sure sites evolve as things change. Change can be good or bad, but thankfully with versioning you will have no regrets. This blog post went in about language and item versioning. Something I felt is not always utilized.

Sitecore Workflows Back to Basics

One of the most overlooked features of Sitecore is the workflow. A good workflow implementation will ensure the correct content is published for a site. It can also bring different departments together for approval such as the marketing department and legal department. In this blog post I showed how to create one and created a simple graphic on how workflows work so everyone could understand them better.
