Implementing a publishing workflow can streamline content production, which is why Joomla decided to improve its workflow process in Joomla 4.
If you ve been using Joomla for a while, you ll be familiar with the traditional status types: Published, Unpublished, Archived and Trashed. However, the truth is that sometimes content editors skip or miss parts of the workflow and compliance and governance processes ensue.
Two changes have been implemented in Joomla 4. The first applies whether or not you have workflow implemented on your site. Workflow changes how status types are used. It also impacts the Featured status for articles, which there s an additional change to note for Joomla 4. Read more about Joomla s workflows here.
WordPress is at it again, launching a new feature in the WordPress block editor. The feature called reusable blocks, allows users to start building something and then save it for later. These reusable blocks can be edited in one place and enable users to reuse snippets of texts across posts and pages, save and reuse complex layouts, and edit things in one place.
Unlike templates, these blocks are snippets of globally synchronized content that can be reused and inserted into any page you want. Plus, you can use the reusable blocks to structure your content. If youâre a WordPress user and want to learn to create a reusable block, read the full article here.
