"Use default" setting on metadata fields disabled by default
The default value of the Enable Use Default Option is No.
By default, new metadata fields that get created will not show the "Use default" option.
Default /_edit behavior changes
The inline edit mode suffix (previously known as Edit Mode Suffix) behavior is optimized for the new inline edit mode feature introduced in Version 6.4.
By default, adding this suffix to a Content Management asset URL (/_edit by default) will now take you to the Admin UI (/_admin) and onto the asset’s inline edit mode screen.
If the asset does not have inline edit mode enabled, the details screen is loaded instead.
This behavior can be changed using the new Enable standalone inline edit mode setting on the details screen of design assets.
Edit+ deprecation
The Edit+ editing interface has been deprecated and replaced with a new and improved editing experience for content editors.
Users that sign in to Edit+ on Matrix 5.5 are used to seeing the following editing experience:
The editing experience is replaced with this new interface:
To access this new interface, users still use the /_edit suffix on any given URL to enter edit mode on an asset.
Once loaded, users are presented with an interface offering similar functionality that they had access to in Edit+.
The default screen that users see when accessing /_edit on a URL depends on the asset type and the design used for your site.
Users will either load the asset in inline edit mode, the details screen, or the content screen.
| Inline editing can be enabled or disabled for a design using the Details screen. |
Read the design asset Details screen documentation for more information about activating inline edit experiences for other asset types using the Enable standalone inline edit mode option.
Read the Admin UI overview documentation for more information on the new user interface experience.
