Quickly find and view CMS-connected pages and elements

Now, you can not only find and disconnect CMS connections, but also jump straight to the connected page or element from the connections manager.

Quickly find and view CMS-connected pages and elements

Earlier this year we announced a new connections manager that lets you see everywhere a collection is connected to your designs. Today we’re sharing some exciting improvements that make it even easier to find, view, and/or delete your CMS connections. 

The first release introduced the ability to:

  1. See each instance where a collection was connected to a design
  2. Disconnect any instance with one click

Now you can also:

  1. Quickly jump to a page in the Designer where the CMS connection exists
  2. Jump to the specific element in the Designer that’s connected to a CMS item
Easily find and go to a page where you’ve connected CMS content.
Go straight to any specific element that’s connected to a CMS field or list, no matter where it is on a page.

Once you delete a connection, instead of reverting to an empty div, the elements will now fall back to the default content associated with that element. Until now, deleting a connection would result in an empty div, and replacing content wasn’t as seamless of a process. 

For example, if you delete a heading connection, the element will revert back to the default text, “Heading”
