What’s new in December 2024
The December 2024 release focused on improvements relating to the Page Builder and Content Management areas of Squiz DXP.
Page Builder
- Resource Browser improvements to functionality and access to different DXP systems
-
Modifications have been made to the Resource Browser header, enhancing user experience when utilizing the resource browser in conjunction with other systems.
The updated header now offers improved functionality, allowing users to toggle seamlessly between different systems and search modes.
- Editing panel now offers collapsible accordions for better field grouping
-
Top-level object fields in the component editing UI have been redesigned as collapsible accordions, allowing developers to more easily group related fields.
These are expanded by default, but can be set to collapse by default by a component developer in a component’s manifest. This change aims to save vertical space on content editors while providing a better organization of fields. As a result, accordion groups will now be rendered for all existing components on both Content Pages and Standard pages.

2 Minor improvements |
Improve scaling of trigger category calculation DetailsTrigger categories were sorted via an expensive calculation for display in the Asset Tree every time a Trigger was loaded. This led to noticeable slowdowns on systems with over 500 triggers. As a result, the sorting process has been optimized, only being applied when necessary. |

Race condition on metadata screen while loading viper DetailsOn certain metadata screens, Viper could be initialized too early without any HTML to attach to. This premature initialization could cause JavaScript errors and prevent usage of the metadata screen. To address this issue, a rigorous check has been implemented to ensure that HTML is rendered before attempting to attach Viper.
