Everything we shipped.
Newest first. Written for the people who use the Studio, not the people who wrote it — and published from a Contentive workspace through our own Delivery API, like any other site we build.

Improved
Hosted sites load much faster on repeat visits
A themed site used to build every page from scratch on every visit, so even going back to a page you had just left took a few seconds. Pages are now kept ready at the edge for visitors who are not signed in, and refreshed the moment you publish, promote or deploy a new theme. Signed-in member pages, previews and the staging site are never cached.
Improvements 1
- Deployments Fixed: when a new theme had been deployed to staging but no pages had changed, the pipeline board said production already matched staging and offered nothing to promote. The board now notices a newer theme (or renderer config) on staging, says so in the staging card, and Promote takes it live together with any content that is waiting. “Publish all and go live” carries it too.
-
New
Copy a whole site into Contentive
“Clone the site” is now the first choice on the Import screen. Give it a site you own and it copies the whole thing — the look, every page, and the features the site uses (forms, FAQs, bookings, analytics) become apps you can edit in the Studio. Copies take turns, so when a few people import at once you see your place in the queue and about how long it will take, and you get an email with a link when yours is ready, so there is no need to wait around.
Improvements 2
- Import Fixed: a larger site copy could stop part-way through and sit there until the service restarted. Copies now carry on from where they were, and a stalled one is picked up within a minute.
- Import Fixed: on a copied page with more than fifty FAQ questions, the later ones were missing. Every question now shows.
-
New
Put your FAQ on any page
The FAQ app now has somewhere to go. Themes get a {% faq %} tag and composed pages get an FAQ block, both showing your published questions in the order you set, as an expandable list visitors can open one at a time. Add or reorder a question in the Studio and every page that shows the list updates. Search engines are told about it too, so your questions can appear directly in results.
Improvements 1
- Import Improved: cloning a site now copies its icon fonts and web fonts across, so icons and headings look the same on the copy. Third-party embeds such as review widgets keep working and are listed in the import report for you to review, and the arrows in mobile menus open their sub-menus like the original.
-
New
Announcements and popups
The Announcements app puts a message on every page of your site without touching the theme: a bar across the top ("Closed Monday for the bank holiday"), a popup ("20% off this week"), or a small toast in the corner. Write it in the Studio, give it a start and end time, and publish it. It appears across the whole site and disappears on its own when its time is up.
Choose who sees it (everyone, first-time visitors or returning ones), how many times one visitor sees it, whether it can be closed, and a colour that matches your site. Visitors who close it do not see it again. Nothing is stored about visitors and no cookies are used, so there is no consent banner to add. The Announcements panel shows what is live, scheduled and ended, with how many times each was seen, closed and clicked.
Improvements 7
- Apps New: the Surveys app. Turn any form into a survey with several pages, questions that only appear when an earlier answer makes them relevant, and rating, 0–10 recommend, grid and “Other — please specify” questions. Visitors can stop halfway and carry on later on the same device, and you can set when a survey opens and closes or stop it after a number of responses. The Results tab adds the answers up for you — a chart per question, your NPS score and how many people finished — and you can share a read-only link to the results with someone who has no Studio account.
- Apps New: the Reviews app. Collect 1–5 star reviews with a title, text and photos on any content you choose — products, services, locations. Signed-in members review under their name; other visitors confirm their email before a review is sent. Every review waits for your approval (or goes straight up if you prefer), you can reply publicly, visitors can report a review, and each entry keeps a running average your theme can show beside its title. Pages with reviews carry the rating markup that puts stars on your Google result. Needs the Members app.
- Workspaces You can now change a workspace’s address from its actions menu, or from Settings → Workspace. The old address keeps working afterwards — links, connected agents and API tokens don’t break — but it can’t be handed to another workspace, so nobody else can ever claim it.
- Apps New: the Comments app. Add a comment thread to any content you choose — blog posts, help articles, recipes — with one level of replies. Only signed-in members with a confirmed email can comment, which keeps most spam out. Approve comments before they appear or let them go live and hide what you don’t want; blocked words always wait for you, links can be allowed, stripped or refused, and enough visitor reports hide a comment until you look. Your replies carry a Team badge and can be pinned to the top, threads can close after a number of days, and listing pages can show how many comments each post has. Needs the Members app.
- Apps New: the Multilingual app. Publish your site in more than one language, each at its own address (/fr/about), with search engines told which pages are translations of each other. Translate in the editor with the original beside the translation, or press Translate and machine translation drafts the page for you to review — nothing goes live until a person has checked it. The Translations panel shows how much of each language is done, waiting for a review or out of date, and your theme gets a ready-made language switcher.
- Apps New: the Live chat app. A chat bubble sits in the corner of every page of your site — no theme change — and visitors’ questions arrive in a new Chats panel in the Studio, where you reply from your desk or your phone. They see your answer straight away, with a typing indicator while you write. Assign a chat to someone on the team, keep your everyday answers as one-tap canned replies, and close a chat when it’s done — the visitor gets a copy by email if they left an address. Set opening hours, and outside them the bubble shows a short form whose messages land in Forms. No third-party chat script and no cookies.
- Apps New: the Loyalty app. Reward your site’s members with points — for joining, on their birthday, for referring a friend, for a published review or a completed booking, or for anything else you set up as an automation. Points add up into tiers you name yourself, like Bronze, Silver and Gold, each with its own perks, and members spend points on rewards: a one-time code to use at the till or in your shop, or access to members-only pages. Members see their balance, tier and codes on their account page, and you can add or take away points with a note from the new Loyalty panel. No payments involved. Needs the Members app.
Fixes 4
- Search If you’d installed the Search app and then created a content type whose API ID was “search,” your whole site’s API could stop answering until the type was renamed. Creating that type while Search is installed is now blocked right away with a clear message suggesting a different ID, and any site that was already in that state keeps working instead of breaking.
- Search If you changed where a content type’s pages live — for example moving Locations from /soho to /locations/soho — search results for that type could keep pointing at the old address until the index was rebuilt by hand. Search now notices the change on its own and refreshes those results automatically.
- Apps A same-day security and reliability pass across the new apps: members-only pages no longer show through announcements, language links, or review and comment lists and counts; one visitor can no longer hide a review or comment by reporting it again and again; a live chat stays with the member who started it, staging chats never reach the people answering live ones, and someone removed from answering chats can no longer reply; a workspace’s old address can never be handed to another workspace, even after the workspace is deleted; and surveys, reviews and comments now work with spam protection turned on.
- Workspaces Tapping "Workspace" in Settings on a phone did nothing. It now opens the Workspace panel, so changing a workspace’s address is reachable from a phone, not just a computer.

New
Staging pages now say so
Pages on your staging preview now show a small badge in the corner so it is always clear you're looking at staging, not the live site. It's just a label — nothing about the page itself changes — and it links straight to Deployments in the Studio, so promoting what you're reviewing to production is one click away. It never appears on your live site.
Improvements 11
- Deployments When an AI agent builds your site with deployments turned on, its content work now lands in staging alongside the theme, so the staging address shows the whole site and nothing reaches your live site until you promote it.
- Deployments If a page on your live site was edited after its staging copy, promoting no longer quietly replaces it with the older version: the promote dialog lists those pages and asks you to confirm, the Staging card flags them, and the waiting-to-promote list has a Production newer filter.
- Deployments You can still fix something straight on the live site. When deployments are on, a quick edit in production now updates staging too, so staging keeps up with your hot fixes and your next promote never undoes them.
- Deployments When staging has fallen behind, "Reset staging from production" on the Staging card copies your live site back into staging, showing how many pages it will replace before you agree. Your staging theme is kept.
- Model The Model section now lists Types, Canvas and Playground in the sidebar, like Deployments.
- Mobile On a phone, the Studio now sits in a frame with a labelled menu along the bottom — Home, Pages, Content, Search and More — and the section you are in is highlighted. It reads clearly in dark mode and never covers the end of a list. Forms is in More, and the AI assistant is the sparkle button at the top.
- Apps Apps now have their own page — click one in Apps to see what it does, what it adds to your site, the permissions it needs, and its release history, all in one place, instead of a short pop-up.
- Mobile On a phone, every list is now a stack of cards — no more squeezed table columns.
- Picking a page for a menu link now shows it as selected with a checkmark instead of adding it right away, so you can see what you chose before confirming — an especially welcome change on a phone.
- Blueprints Six new blueprints to start a site from: Business + Blog, Local service business, Events, Charity / non-profit, Help centre and Landing page. Each comes with its pages already laid out, a page for every service, event, project or article, sample content, working forms and a starting menu. Theme models no longer crowd the gallery; they come with their theme.
- Apps New: the Site Search app. Visitors can search your whole site and get your published pages back best match first, with the matching words highlighted. Add a search box to your theme with one tag, and a results page renders with no extra work. Choose what is searchable, how much each field counts and which words mean the same thing, and the Search panel shows what visitors looked for over the last 30 days, including the searches that found nothing.
Fixes 1
- Model Removing a field from a block type used to leave old data behind on pages that already used it, and such a page could no longer be saved at all. Removing a field now clears it from every page that placed that block, so the page keeps saving normally — and leftover data from before this fix now shows a one-click "Remove extra data" option instead of an unexplained error.
-
Improved
Deployments opens on the pipeline, not a settings list
Deployments now opens straight onto a pipeline view: a Staging card and a Production card side by side, each showing exactly what is deployed there and when, with its own Promote to production, Publish everything and go live, or a quiet "No changes to promote" right in the card. Roll back and the full activity history are one click away from each card.
Improvements 2
- Deployments The Staging card now tells you what a promote will push: how many pages changed, are new, would come down, or are still unpublished drafts, and when the last edit was. Click it for the full list, filterable by kind, with each entry linking to the page.
- Forms Submissions are now an inbox. Open one and it slides in beside the list instead of popping up over it; move between submissions with the arrows or j and k, reply by email in one click, mark spam or not spam, and export the whole list as a CSV. Unread submissions are highlighted until you open them.
Fixes 3
- Deployments The Staging and Production cards now line up cleanly — same height, same spacing, buttons on the same line — and the link out to your site reads "Open site" instead of "Open app".
- Deployments Deployments now lives in the Structure group of the sidebar, right under Model. On the pipeline the arrow sits between the two cards, and each card's menu button is easier to see.
- Deployments The page carries the same two-row header as every other section — the title, then the Pipeline / Activity / Metrics tabs — and the Staging and Production columns sit clear of the line above them. On a phone each card's footer is two tidy rows: the action, then the address with the menu on the right.
-
Fixed
Pages with a lot of block types open instantly again
On workspaces with a large library of block types, opening a page could leave the block editor stuck on "Loading blocks…" for tens of seconds. It now loads in one quick step, no matter how many block types the workspace has.
Improvements 4
- Deployments Deployments now has its own place in the menu, with the pipeline, activity and metrics all in one spot — and Browse themes now takes you to the website to pick one.
- Deployments Deployments now has an activity feed showing every publish, promotion, rollback, and site change in one place.
- Deployments Deployments shows the site's health — cache hit rate, edge sync, traffic, and render failures — right in the Studio, no digging required.
- Deployments Every deployment now has its own page — what it shipped, what changed, where it serves, and a one-click promote or roll back straight from there.
-
New
A theme library you can browse before you build
There is now a library of complete, ready-to-install site themes at contentive.io/themes. Every theme in the gallery is a real, live site — not a screenshot — so you can click into it and browse it the way a visitor would. Pick one, drag its colours and fonts around in the built-in playground, and watch the live site change instantly. Copy the resulting design system or a ready-to-paste prompt for your agent, or jump straight into the Studio to install it.
Improvements 3
- Website The home page now shows the Studio the way your client sees it: a real recording of them opening a page, changing the words and publishing.
- Website The home page header has come alive: lights drift across its grid and the two large rings follow your pointer, and all of it stays still if your system prefers reduced motion.
- Website Every Get early access button now goes straight to the form, and each signup lands in the Contentive HQ inbox.
Fixes 2
- Website The How it works, Why and Features pages on contentive.io load properly again — they were briefly sending visitors to the Studio sign-in screen instead.
- Themes Case study, service and menu pages on the Agency Grotesk and Cafe Editorial themes now carry the same navigation and footer as the rest of the site.
-
New
A blog on contentive.io
There is now a blog at contentive.io/blog: essays on building and handing over client sites, and honest comparisons with the tools agencies already use at contentive.io/compare. Every post has a feed entry, and the whole thing is built on Contentive itself — the posts are ordinary content in a workspace, so publishing one puts it live with no deploy.
Improvements 21
- Studio The Contentive mark now carries a subtle fold shadow and the wordmark is bolder, across the Studio, the docs site, the marketing site and the admin console.
- Help Every help article now has its own page and its own address, so you can link a client straight to the one they need instead of to the whole list.
- Sharing Links to contentive.io now unfurl properly wherever they are shared. Every page has its own preview card, and each blog post gets one drawn with its own title, so a link posted in Slack or on social says which post it is.
- Home The home page has a new front door — the whole site is redesigned around the brand, with a clearer hero, a live pricing calculator, and three new pages (How it works, Why, Features) so the old page is not one long scroll.
- Search Page descriptions were rewritten to the length search engines actually show, and search engines are now told about a new post the moment it is published rather than waiting to be crawled.
- Blog The comparison with Contentful and Sanity now lives at contentive.io/compare/contentful. The old address redirects, so existing links keep working.
- Connections Approving an agent connection now has to come from the approval screen itself, so a page you happen to be visiting cannot quietly approve one in the background while you are signed in.
- Connections If the credential that keeps an agent connection alive is ever presented twice — the signature of a stolen one — the connection is ended immediately and the agent has to be connected again.
- Connections Agents that start connecting but never finish are now cleared away automatically, and there is a ceiling on how many can be waiting at once.
- Imports When an import runs into a page that blocks automated readers, it no longer hands that page — or the address you are importing from — to an outside reading service unless you have turned that on. Blocked pages are reported in the import summary instead.
- Imports If the address you import from carries a username and password, they are stripped before anything is saved, so they never appear in the import history.
- Imports Import status no longer echoes the whole export file you uploaded back at you on every refresh.
- Deployments The one-time address an agent uploads a built site to now accepts exactly one upload and then stops working, so nothing can quietly swap the files in behind a build you have already checked. Ask for another address if an upload needs retrying.
- Deployments If two publishes overlap, the site now ends up on the one you asked for last, instead of whichever happened to finish last.
- Deployments Rolling back twice with the same request key now has to name the same deployment both times — reusing a key for a different one is refused rather than quietly doing nothing.
- Content API A query that asks for a long list of related entries now reads only the page it will actually show, instead of loading the whole relationship first. On a site with thousands of linked entries that is the difference between a page that loads and one that does not.
- Content API A single request that packs in a lot of nested work now counts for more of its allowance, so one heavy query cannot crowd out everyone else on the site.
- Content model Importing a content model now rejects a type or block name that could not work as an API name, and says exactly which one and why, instead of accepting it and breaking the site API afterwards.
- Content Version history now records who made each change, so you can see who edited a page rather than just when it happened.
- Someone whose role only covers certain content types can no longer open a document of another type by its link.
- Apps Uninstalling an app now takes its tools away from a connected agent straight away, instead of when the agent is next restarted.
Fixes 1
- Deployments Unpublishing a page in staging and promoting to production used to leave the old copy live. Promoting now removes anything you unpublished or deleted in staging from the live site, and warns you first with the count: the confirmation names the pages that are about to come down, so you can cancel if it was not what you meant. The pages themselves are kept, just unpublished, so you can put one back by publishing and promoting again.
-
Improved
Bookmark content types to keep them on the Content tab strip
Content shows only the types you bookmark in its tab strip; All content opens a searchable list of everything, and bookmarks appear under Content in the sidebar too.
Improvements 2
- Assistant The assistant now answers questions about your own content, such as prices, opening hours or what a page says, by reading the right content type instead of refusing or searching for the whole sentence.
- Brand The new Contentive mark and wordmark now appear across the Studio, the docs and the marketing site.
Fixes 2
- Search Searching in ⌘K no longer pops open your browser's address/contact autofill suggestions over the results.
- Search A member found in search now shows just their email (and tier, if they have one) instead of a long id.
-
New
Set what your site shares by default
Settings has a new Site page: set the title, description and social image your site shares by default, see the share card live, and control which search engines and AI crawlers can read the site.
Improvements 10
- Site Put a password on a site before launch: visitors see a short message and a password box, search engines stay away, and your team’s preview links still work.
- SEO Sites with more than one language now tell search engines about every translation automatically, and each page declares its language.
- SEO With the SEO app on, each page has one SEO editor: the app’s card takes over the page’s old SEO fields and offers to move them across.
- Content Ask your agent for a contact page and it builds a real form — fields, spam trap, notification address — and places it as a Form block, so every message lands in that form’s inbox instead of a section that only looks like one.
- Security Turn on a human check for your forms in Settings › Site; most visitors never see it, and bots are stopped before they reach your inbox.
- Studio The left rail now shows a surface’s tabs underneath it, so Pages, Templates and Navigation are one click away, and you can star content types to keep them under Content.
- Studio Search in the Studio now looks and reads like the docs search: roomy grouped results with a title, where it lives, and a short description.
- Studio Search now finds members, your team, form submissions, media, automations, apps and settings, not just content.
- Studio A View site link in the Studio header opens your live site (or staging, when you’re viewing staging) in one click.
- Studio The Studio header now reads Contentive studio in plain type, matching the docs.

Fixes and improvements
14 Sept 2026-
The Model canvas cards have their border back1.45.1
The content-type cards on the Model canvas had lost their outline and were showing only a drop shadow, making the canvas look flat and the cards harder to tell apart from the background. They now have their border back, in every Appearance colour theme.

New
Sites load right-sized images automatically
Every image your site shows now downloads the size the visitor actually needs — a phone gets a phone-sized image, a wide desktop hero gets a bigger one — instead of everyone downloading the same full-size original. Images also reserve their space on the page before they load, so the page stops jumping around while pictures pop in, and a soft colour placeholder fades into the real photo instead of a blank box.
This applies everywhere a photo appears — pages built in the Studio, Liquid themes, and sites built on our SDK — with nothing for you to configure. Photos below the fold also wait to load until a visitor scrolls near them, so a long page loads faster from the start.
Improvements 28
- Themes Theme editing moved to the command line: pull, edit locally with live reload, push. The Studio shows your theme’s status, diagnostics and the commands to get started.
- Content Pages built by an agent always open cleanly in the Studio: extra block data is refused at write time with a clear message, and any existing extra data can be removed with one click.
- Edit your site's menus in the Studio: reorder, nest, link to pages or URLs, footer columns and social links, no code.
- Studio Pick a Studio colour theme in Settings › Appearance; six to choose from, light and dark. Each one recolours the whole Studio — buttons, links, badges and the backgrounds behind them — while the text stays as readable as ever, and your choice follows you to any computer you sign in on.
- Content See every version of a document in one table from the editor’s Version history card, and restore any of them.
- Billing Workspaces that go far past their plan’s traffic allowance now get a clear in-Studio notice and an email with the numbers; nothing is blocked or billed.
- Domains Settings now has a Domains area: see every address your site answers on, which one is primary, and connect a domain you own.
- Domains A connected domain now works whichever way a visitor types it. The bare domain and the www version are both set up and secured together, one of them is the address visitors end up on, and the other sends them there — so no link ever fails and search engines see a single address. Pick which one is the main address in Settings, and change your mind whenever you like. The domain screen now also shows exactly how far along verification is, and emails you when the domain goes live.
- Domains Point your client’s own domain at a theme-built site. Add the domain in Settings and we give you two records to add at the registrar — one to prove it’s yours, one to send traffic over. Add the first and the certificate is issued while the old site keeps serving, so the switch-over is instant and nothing goes dark. Both the bare domain and the www version are set up together, and we check on it for you until it’s live instead of making you come back and press a button.
- Bookings Run your day from a new Bookings screen: a calendar and list of appointments with confirm, reschedule and cancel, weekly hours and days off in Settings, and new bookings needing a response in your inbox alongside everything else.
- Bookings A themed site can now take bookings with three lines of Liquid: list your bookable services, drop in a ready-made booking form, done. A visitor picks a date and time, holds it while they fill in their details, and gets a confirmed slot; the page still looks complete even before the booking widget finishes loading. Install the Bookings app to turn it on.
- Themes Theme templates can now list your content automatically — loop through every published case study, post, FAQ or any other type, filter and sort the list, and split it across pages. An index page updates itself the moment you publish, with no re-deploy.
- Themes Themes can include their own JavaScript — a site-wide file for animations, accordions, sliders and reveal-on-scroll, plus optional page transitions that fade and preload links automatically — served securely from your own site with no third-party code.
- Settings Settings → Localization now has a Timezone field, so the Studio and anything that schedules or displays times for your site knows what "9am" means for your business, not just UTC — pick from the searchable list, or use the one-click suggestion to match your own browser.
- Editor Write a page’s search listing right beside the page. An SEO card now sits in the editor sidebar next to Status and Visibility: the title and description Google shows, a canonical link, the social share image, and a hide-from-search switch, saved with the page. A live preview with character counters shows how the result will read. SEO is off per content type until you turn it on, and nothing about existing content changes.
- Sharing Every page now shares properly. Paste a link to any page in Slack, iMessage or Twitter and you get a real preview — title, description and image — instead of a blank card, and Google gets a proper canonical link and a search-visibility tag for every page too. It all comes from the SEO card above, works with nothing to turn on, and a staged (not-yet-live) page never shows up in search by mistake.
- Apps A new SEO+ app is available to install: set a canonical domain, write a search-title template per content type ("%s | Joe’s Cafe"), choose which content types show up in your sitemap and how often they change, add your business details, and override robots.txt if you need to — all from one Settings page.
- Redirects Rename a page and its old address keeps working. With SEO+ installed, changing a published page’s address now records a redirect automatically, so every existing link, bookmark and search result still lands in the right place instead of a 404. There is a Redirects table in Settings → SEO too: add, edit or delete rules by hand, search them, and paste or upload a whole list as CSV with a preview that flags bad rows before anything is saved. Rules take effect the moment you save — no republishing — and a redirect can never be pointed at another website by mistake.
- Studio The Studio has a home of its own: **studio.contentive.io**. Old links keep working — every bookmark, deep link and invite or password-reset email already in an inbox redirects straight through to the same page, and app.contentive.io does too. Nothing changes for your sites or your developers: the API, your content endpoints and any AI agent you have connected all stay exactly where they are, and contentive.io still serves the public pages. You may be asked to sign in once on the new address.
- Apps With SEO+ installed, your pages can now earn rich results in Google — a star rating, an event date, a recipe card — instead of a plain blue link. Pick a result type per page (article, product, event, FAQ, or your business details), and the search-friendly data is built automatically from the content already on the page; anything not fully filled in is simply left out rather than shown half-finished.
- Bookings Take a deposit — or the full price — when someone books. Connect your own Stripe account in the Bookings settings, choose a deposit amount or "pay in full", and visitors pay on Stripe’s own checkout page before the slot is theirs; card details never touch your site. The booking is only confirmed once Stripe confirms the money, and an abandoned payment quietly releases the time for someone else. Every booking shows its payment state, with a link straight to the payment in your Stripe dashboard. Leave Stripe unconnected and bookings stay free to make, exactly as before.
- MCP Scope what an agent can touch from the connection URL itself: add a read-only flag so it can look but never change anything, or limit it to just content, just media, or just deployments. You can preview exactly which tools a given combination unlocks before connecting an agent at all.
- Apps SEO+ now has a home in the Studio: a score for your whole site, a trend chart, and a list of specific problems to fix — grouped by how urgent they are, with a one-click link straight to the page that needs attention. Critical issues also show up in your inbox. Renaming a page keeps working exactly as before, and a one-time cleanup tool can fold any old, separate SEO entries into the pages they belong to.
- Apps The old, separate SEO app is retired — SEO is now one app, with everything folded into it. If you already had the old one installed it keeps working exactly as before, but new workspaces install the combined SEO app instead, and a one-click tool moves any of its data across whenever you’re ready.
- Sites Every site you host is now readable by AI assistants and search engines out of the box. Your site answers robots.txt, sitemap.xml and a new llms.txt index of every published page on its own address, all generated from your content and always current — publish a page and it appears, with private and members-only pages left out. The robots file also states a clear policy per AI crawler: assistants that cite you and answer a person’s question are welcome, training crawlers are blocked unless you say otherwise, and the one crawler known to ignore that is refused at the door rather than merely asked. This fixes sites that pointed at a sitemap address that did not answer.
- Themes Build themes locally with the new command-line tool: pull a theme onto disk, edit it in your own editor with your own git, preview it against live content, and push it back to staging — all from your terminal.
- SEO Sites now block AI training crawlers by default; AI search stays on. Change it per site in the SEO app.
- Pages See where every entry renders and which page template designs it, from the content type and from the entry itself.
-
New
Every new site is a theme — edit templates and content in the Studio
New sites are now built as themes. Instead of waiting while a whole front end is generated and uploaded file by file, the platform renders every page from your live content plus the site’s theme — the layout, the blocks, the styling. Publishing is close to instant, and a change of copy or a reordered section goes live with no deploy at all.
The part that matters day to day: both halves stay editable here. Content is yours as always, and now the templates are too — so a design tweak no longer means going back to whoever built the site.
Sites already running an uploaded build are unaffected: they keep serving and keep deploying exactly as before, and can move over to a theme whenever you want.
Improvements 6
- Media Upload files up to 5 GB on Agency — the per-file limit is now part of your plan (100 MB on Free, 5 GB on Agency, unlimited on Enterprise). Large files upload in 50 MB pieces sent directly to storage, so a wobbly connection retries just one piece and a file over your plan's limit is rejected before anything transfers.
- Media See exactly what your site serves for every image. The Media Library shows processing status (with a plain-language note if something didn't go smoothly), a processed size, a dominant-colour swatch, one-click Download original, and a Preview at width control — plus per-site defaults for image quality, Save-Data behaviour and max served width under Settings → Rendering, live with no redeploy.
- Themes Drop a YouTube, Vimeo, Loom or Maps link into any page and it becomes a lazy, privacy-friendly player with no third-party tracking scripts. A self-hosted video plays with a native player, and any other embed host can be allowed once under Settings → Site → Integrations.
- Themes Style each page type on its own — a template or a block can carry its own stylesheet, scoped to where it's used, so different page types never fight over global styles.
- Themes Preview a theme as you edit it, with a starter theme to learn from. The Theme editor shows a live, refreshing preview beside the code and a diagnostics panel naming anything that broke; the new "Starter theme" gives you a complete example site (home, case-study index, FAQ, contact form) to customise instead of a blank page.
- Studio On your phone, Home now puts "Create" and "Ask the assistant" right at the top, under your name — so making something new or asking a question is the first thing you can do, not something you scroll down to find.

The Studio now updates itself when content changes elsewhere1.42.1
When a teammate, an import, or a connected AI agent changed content, an open Studio tab was supposed to refresh on its own — lists, counts, the document you were looking at. It never did: the live connection behind that feature was being rejected by the browser before it ever opened, so you only saw changes after a manual reload.
That is fixed. Leave a list open while an agent adds pages and they appear as they are created; open a document someone else is editing and their saves show up without you refreshing. Presence indicators (who else is on this document) ride the same connection and now work too.

Use your own fonts on your site
Your site no longer has to borrow someone else’s typeface. Settings → Fonts has a new section where you can upload your brand’s font files — .woff2, .woff, .ttf or .otf — give each one the family name you want to refer to it by, and set its weight and style if it’s a specific cut.
Each font shows a preview in the real typeface as soon as it uploads, so you can see you’ve picked the right file before you commit to it. Your site then loads them automatically, and your theme and any custom CSS can use the family name directly.
Like every other change to how your site is built, saving publishes to Staging — promote when you’re happy and the fonts go live.
Improvements 3
- Studio The phone now has its own navigation: a bottom bar with Pages, Content, Media and Forms in the middle, search on the left and the Assistant on the right — the same shape as the Shopify app — plus bigger inputs that no longer zoom the page and a Media Upload button that's always within reach.
- Studio Editing on a phone got real: a formatting bar sits above the keyboard as you write, a document's status and history open as a bottom sheet, lists show as cards, pop-ups slide up as sheets, and you reorder page blocks from a menu instead of dragging; on a tablet, Settings shows its menu and the page side by side.
- Studio On a phone the Studio focuses on your content: the bottom bar covers Pages, Content and Forms, Media and Deployments live under the menu, Settings is a simple list, and developer tools stay on the desktop.
Fixes 2
- Editor The rich text editor had lost its outline, so it was hard to tell where the box began and ended. It has a clear border again in both light and dark mode.
- Studio Grey cards throughout the Studio — the panels beside an editor, the rows in a page’s block list — now get a small border too, so they read more clearly against the page.

Every editing screen now looks like the same product1.40.0
Content, pages, content types, blocks, forms and members are all places you go to edit one thing — but each had drifted into its own layout. Different widths, different gaps, a settings column on some screens and loose text on others, title fields at three different sizes, and four galleries with four different card grids.
They now share one shape: the same column width, the same settings rail on the right, the same spacing, the same card grid, and one size and padding for every text box and dropdown in the Studio. Content types and blocks gained the proper settings rail they were missing, and the assistant’s “Ask anything” box is no longer a box inside a box.
A recent visual refresh had also taken the outlines off more than it meant to: checkboxes, radio buttons, dropdowns and switches lost the line that told you where they were, the tick boxes down the side of a content list were blank white squares, and the column heading underline disappeared as soon as a long list scrolled. Every one of those now has a clear outline in both the light and dark themes, measured against the accessibility contrast standard rather than eyeballed, with a bold ring when you tab to it — and buttons like Discard, Preview and Cancel got their edges back too.
-
The “Unsaved changes” warning now only appears when something changed1.39.1
Some content still opened with an “Unsaved changes” warning before you had touched it — including entries with no rich text at all, which the last fix for this didn’t cover. The editor was comparing your entry against its saved copy in a way that could be thrown off by how the database happens to order the fields internally, even when every value was identical.
The comparison now looks at the values themselves, so opening content never flags it as changed. Real edits — including reordering the blocks on a page — are still caught exactly as before, so nothing you’ve actually changed can be lost.

Date and time fields, without the part you don’t need
A birthday, an opening time, an event day — not every date needs a clock attached, and not every time needs a calendar. Two new field types join Date & time: Date shows just a day picker, and Time shows just a clock, so the field you add matches the value you actually mean.
Everything you expect from an existing field comes along: sorting and filtering a content list, connecting one field’s value to another, adding one to a form, and generating a value with the AI assistant. Existing Date & time fields are untouched — this is a new choice on the New Field menu, not a change to what you already have.
-
New
Show the same value in two places, without typing it twice
A price, an address, a plan name — anything you have already written down somewhere can now be shown on a page instead of retyped there.
Look for the small link icon on a text or number field. Click it, pick the entry you want to take the value from, then pick which of its fields. The box is replaced by the value itself, with a quiet note underneath saying where it comes from — click that to jump straight to the source and edit it.
From then on the two stay together. Change the source once and every page showing it changes with it, live, with nothing to republish on the pages themselves. No more hunting through a site for the four places the old phone number is still hiding.
Changed your mind? Disconnect keeps the value it was showing, so the field goes back to being an ordinary one you can type in — nothing is ever emptied out from under you.
And if you try to delete an entry other pages are taking values from, we stop and tell you exactly which pages and fields, so a section never quietly goes blank on the live site.
Improvements 4
- Content A field can only be connected where doing so is safe — page addresses and required fields keep a value of their own, so a page can never lose its URL or disappear because of a deleted source.
- Content A connected field only ever shows what the visitor is allowed to see: point one at members-only content and the editor warns you that logged-out visitors will see nothing there.
- Content The link icon now also works on dates, yes/no toggles, images, file uploads and rich text, not just plain text and numbers — a connected image shows its own thumbnail, a connected rich-text field shows a preview of the words, and a connected date shows a real date rather than a raw timestamp.
- Content Open any entry and see, at a glance, which other pages currently take a value from it — so you know before you change or delete it, not after something else on the site goes quiet.

New
Decide who can see a page, without leaving the editor
Members-only content used to be something only an agent or a developer could set up. Now it is a card in the editor, beside Status: choose whether a page is open to everyone, to anyone signed in, or only to members on a particular tier — and see the change take effect on the live site straight away.
The card always tells you who can see the page RIGHT NOW, not just what you last set on it. That matters because a page can be members-only without anything being set on the page itself: if the whole content type is members-only, every entry follows suit. When that is what is happening the card says so, and links you to where the rule is set, so you never have to guess whether a page is really behind the gate.
You can still make a single page an exception — a free sample lesson on an otherwise members-only course — and put it back to following the type default in one click.
If a whole section should be members-only, set it once on the content type in the Model area instead of on two hundred entries. And you can add a Visibility column to any content list, so you can see at a glance which entries are gated without opening each one.
All of this appears only on sites with Members installed, and the tier option only shows up if you actually use tiers.
Improvements 4
- Editor Every document and page now has a View button that opens the real page on your live site — or Preview, for a draft version only you can see, before you publish. It only appears when the page actually has a web address. The Edit/Preview switch inside the editor was renamed Edit/Reader: it was never a preview of the live page, just a clean read-through of your content.
- Content Content lists can show a Visibility column, so you can see which entries are gated without opening them. Entries gated by their content type rather than by themselves are marked as such.
- Model A content type now has a default visibility, so "every lesson is members-only" is one decision rather than one per entry. Individual entries can still override it.
- Content Fixed: turning a whole content type back to public could hide every entry of that type from your live site, your sitemap and your search results — while the Studio still showed them as public. Only sites that had set a type-wide members-only rule through an AI agent could hit this, and any site already in that state is repaired automatically, with nothing for you to do.

Member tiers are your own content, and members can hold your own fields
If your site has membership levels — Gold and Silver, wholesale and retail — you probably already have a content type for them, with a name, a description and what each one gets. Now that IS your tier list. Point Settings → Members at that content type and the member page gives you a proper picker over those entries instead of a box you had to type into, so a tier is one thing you can also put on the site rather than two things that have to match.
Most sites do not need tiers at all — "members only" already means anyone signed in — so if you have not set any up, the tier controls simply are not there any more. Nothing to configure, nothing to ignore.
Members can also carry your own fields now. Add them under Model → Member profile (a company, a phone number, dietary requirements) and they appear on each member’s page for you to fill in, alongside the details every member has. Your fields sit beside the built-in ones, never on top of them.
Improvements 7
- Members Your own fields on a member are set up in the Model area, under Member profile, using exactly the editor you already use for content types and blocks — same rows, same drag-to-reorder, same save bar. Members used to have a little field builder of their own tucked inside their settings screen, which looked and behaved differently from everywhere else fields are defined. Nothing you have already set up changes.
- Members The rest of the Members settings — how people sign up, how they sign in, invited addresses, tiers and who member emails come from — moved into Settings alongside Workspace and Appearance, rather than sitting on a screen of their own. Old links still take you there.
- Packages Packages can now put their settings straight into your Settings screen, in the right group, instead of each one adding a separate place to look. Members is the first; the ones that come later will land the same way.
- Members Erasing a member now removes everything they wrote, as well as their account, sign-in history and email — and there is no longer a setting for it. Keeping their content only removed their name from it, so anything personal they had typed into a post stayed on the site while we told you the erasure was done. Copy anything you need to keep before erasing; if it is about bad behaviour rather than a removal request, disable the member instead — that is reversible and leaves their content alone.
- Members Tiers you were using before this change keep working exactly as they did, and keep controlling who sees what. They show up marked as older tiers, and Settings → Members can move one onto a proper tier entry in a single step — everyone on it, and every page gated by it, at the same time.
- Members The members list now shows tier names rather than internal ids, and hides the tier column and filter entirely on sites that do not use tiers.
- Members Moving a tier now shows you exactly what will change first — how many members, and which pages — and asks before it does anything. Every tier in use is listed, so if you pick the wrong one you can move it again from the same place.

Your site can have its own members
Install Members from Packages and your published site gets its own end users — separate from the people who work in the Studio. Visitors sign up and sign in with a one-time link sent to their email (no passwords to lose, unless you want them), read pages you have marked members-only, and — if you allow it — write content of their own.
You stay in charge of all of it. A new Members area lists everyone who has joined, with search, tier labels, and a detail view showing where they are signed in and what they have written; Member settings decides who may sign up at all, from invite-only (the default) to open. Anything a member writes lands in a Moderation queue rather than on the site, and approving it publishes it exactly like your own content does — you can do that from a phone, and a new inbox in the top bar tells you when something is waiting.
If someone asks to be removed, you can erase them properly: their account, their sign-in history, their email everywhere it was recorded, and everything they wrote — all of it, permanently. Copy anything you need to keep before you erase.
Improvements 2
- Packages Packages moved out of Settings into the main menu, just above Stacks, and now reads like a store: every package has a card telling you in plain language what your site gains, with the technical detail behind a "What this adds" toggle.
- Packages Installing asks first and shows you exactly what will appear in your workspace, then shows the work happening and finishes with a summary and a button straight into the new screen — which now appears in your menu immediately, with no page refresh. Removing a package tells you upfront what will stop working and what is kept; your content is never deleted.

Help is now a click away, in every screen
There’s a new help button in the bottom-right corner of the Studio. Type a question — "how do I edit a page", "how do I put my site live" — and it finds the guides that answer it. You read them right there in the panel, without leaving what you were doing, and you can expand it to fill a quarter of the screen when you want to follow along step by step.
If the guides don’t cover it, "Contact support" starts a conversation with a real person. Your conversations stay in the Messages tab, so you can come back to an answer later, and you’ll see a dot on the button when someone has replied. What’s new and the product tour live in there too, so everything that helps you is behind one button instead of scattered around the header.
Fixes 1
- Hosting Promoting a new design to production could leave the live site serving an older version until it was refreshed on our side — promotions now reach the live site straight away, and pages that were stuck on "Loading…" after a security update load normally again.

A new Starter plan for your first site
There’s now a plan for the space between just trying things out and running a full agency. Starter is £10.99 a month: one workspace, your site live with hosting included, and 200 AI credits a day to draft and generate content.
It’s the natural first paid step — launch a single site without committing to the Agency plan, then upgrade to unlimited workspaces and seats whenever you start building for clients. You’ll see it in the plan picker alongside Free and Agency.
Improvements 2
- Analytics The Analytics dashboard has a new look: an interactive visitor chart with hover details, and top pages, referrers, countries and devices as easy-to-scan bar lists.
- Analytics The Home page’s visitor stats use the same refreshed charts, so the trend behind each number is clearer at a glance.

Your hosted site can look like anything now
Sites the platform builds for you used to share one look — same card shapes, same corners, same shadows — no matter what brand you brought. That ceiling is gone. A site’s design can now include its own custom styling, saved as part of the site’s versioned configuration, so it previews, publishes, and rolls back together like everything else.
Design systems go deeper too: alongside colors, spacing, and type, they can now carry corner radii, shadows, borders, and motion, and the built-in building blocks pick all of it up automatically. A site with no custom styling looks exactly as it did before — the new control is purely additive. Ask your connected AI agent to restyle your site and it can now actually deliver something that looks like yours.
Improvements 9
- Sites Per-section layout control — columns, alignment, background, full-bleed, spacing — changeable per block with a plain content edit, no republish.
- Sites Configurable header and footer: sticky header, your logo, footer link columns and social links — or turn either off entirely.
- Sites Any Google font, plus your own uploaded font files — your site’s type can finally be your brand’s type.
- Sites Your agency’s own components: a connected AI agent can build bespoke section designs to your design system and map them onto your pages — with a safe fallback so a page is never blank.
- Security Hosted sites now ship content-security and hardening headers (rolled out in monitor mode first).
- Studio Workspace Settings is now organized into groups — General, Access, Developer, Deployment, Advanced, About — instead of one long list.
- Developers The SDK setup guide now has its own tab under Model, with the install, client, and type-generation steps pre-filled for your workspace.
- Content Single-record types (like Site Settings) can now be queried directly by name, with no ID needed.
- Help The in-app help centre is bigger and now illustrated — twice as many step-by-step guides, each with screenshots of the Studio, covering everything from your first content type to publishing, forms, custom domains and inviting your team.
Fixes 2
- API The API playground’s ready-made example queries ran into an "Unexpected error" instead of running; there is now a single working playground (the old "Try it" box became an "Open in Playground" link) that follows you between staging and live.
- Accounts An invite link no longer shows "invalid, expired, or already used" when you have in fact already joined — it now points you to sign in with your email prefilled, expired invites say so clearly, and a link with a stray copied space still works.

Give your site a real web address
Your hosted site no longer has to live on a jumble of letters and numbers. Pick a name and your site goes live on it — acmecafe.contentive.io instead of ws-a49f312b.contentive.io — with the certificate and DNS handled for you. There is nothing to set up and nothing to buy: type the name you want, see instantly whether it is free, and claim it.
Names are first come, first served across everyone on the platform, so one site owns a name and no one else can take it. You can claim one while setting up a new workspace, from your site’s deployment settings at any time, or simply ask your connected AI agent to grab one while it builds. Your old address keeps working forever, so nothing you have already shared will break.
One thing to know before you change your mind: giving a name up is permanent. A released name is retired for good and can never be claimed again — not by anyone else, and not by you — so that old links and search results can never be pointed somewhere new. Releasing is a deliberate action you take in the Studio; your agent cannot do it for you.
Fixes 4
- Accounts Signing up for a new account works again — new accounts were landing on a "not a member" error instead of their own workspace
- Pages Marking a field on one section as required no longer breaks every page on the site — pages that were showing an error now load normally again
- Hosting A hosted site that could get stuck on "Loading…" — showing its header and footer but never its content — now loads properly
- Hosting A custom-built site given a real web address now shows your site at that address, instead of accidentally showing the Contentive landing page

AI, everywhere you work
The Studio now has a writing partner built into it. Home opens with a single big box that greets you by name and takes anything you want to ask — a question about your content, or a request to draft something new — with quick actions underneath for the jobs you do most. The assistant itself is one keystroke away anywhere in the Studio (⌘J), reads your own content to answer, and knows which page you are looking at when you ask about “this page”. And when you are in the editor, every text field has a sparkle button: describe the change you want and it writes the field for you, or start a whole new entry from a one-line description and it fills in every field. Everything it writes is a draft, marked until you save it, and nothing ever goes live on its own — you read it, change whatever you like, and press Publish yourself.
You can also simply ask it things in plain language — “which pages mention our old phone number?”, “what do I still have in draft?” — and it will look through your own content and answer. Ask it for an About page or a new blog post and it puts together a draft using your own content types and fields. Open it with the wand button in the top bar (or ⌘J), start from the box on your home page, or give it the full screen from the Assistant page, where your past conversations are kept. It can only see and do what your own account is allowed to, so it never works around your permissions.
Improvements 11
- Editor When a teammate clicks into a field, their initials appear on that field’s label — a heads-up so you do not both type in the same place (saving is still protected either way)
- Assistant Your chat survives a refresh, and past conversations are listed right in the side panel
- Assistant The assistant knows which page you have open, so “this page” means what you expect
- Editor Pick a tone — conversational, professional, fun or authoritative — and nudge the length shorter or longer

- Analytics Analytics has its own place in the sidebar, and its charts match the ones on Home
- Studio A new, more solid icon set throughout, with darker helper text and a warmer dark-mode sidebar
- Editor “Generate with AI” in the New menu drafts a whole entry, every field filled, from one line

Build your front end faster with the official toolkit
Developers building a site against your content now have an official toolkit instead of hand-writing requests. It handles fetching content, turns rich text into real page markup, and covers Next.js essentials like preview mode and sitemaps. It can also generate types from your own content model, so a developer’s editor autocompletes your actual field names and catches a typo before the site is ever built. Install and setup snippets, already filled in for your workspace, are under Model → API and docs.
Improvements 3
- Docs A proper help centre answers the questions people actually ask — how to publish a page, build a page out of blocks, put a site live, roll back, and who is allowed to do what. The help menu in the Studio surfaces the most useful articles right there, and "Browse all help" opens the full library; every article is short, plain-language and cross-linked.
- Settings A Roadmap section shows what is coming — Now, Next and Later — in plain language
- Studio The changelog now leads with the headline features and gathers the housekeeping underneath

The Studio on your phone — a proper mobile app feel
Contentive now works properly on a phone. A floating bar sits at the bottom of the screen with Home, Content, Create, Media and More, always within thumb reach, and it slides out of the way as you scroll. Your content lists are proper cards now instead of squashed spreadsheet rows — the title reads first, with its status and when it changed underneath, so eight entries fit where two did before. Tapping More gives you deployments, forms, search and workspace switching in a tidy sheet. And the top of the screen is calmer: anything you can reach from the bottom bar is no longer duplicated up there.
Improvements 10
- Editor Start editing anywhere and a save bar appears; try to navigate away or close the tab with unsaved changes and you're asked whether to save, discard, or stay. Publishing is safer too — with unsaved edits, Publish now waits until you save, instead of publishing your last saved version and quietly ignoring what's on screen.
- Studio Every page, entry, content type and stack now has an Activity timeline at the bottom — who changed what and when, with any edit expandable to show exactly which fields changed, from what, to what.
- Studio The sidebar gets out of your way too: it hides itself while you're editing and comes back when you're browsing, and you can toggle it any time.
- Content Tapping an entry on a phone slides up a quick-edit panel, so you keep your place in the list

Sign in with a link — no password needed
Signing in is now as simple as typing your email. We send you a link; open it, press Continue, and you are in — no password to remember or retype. Links work once, expire after fifteen minutes, and only work in the browser that asked for one, so a forwarded email cannot sign anyone else in. If your company scans email links for safety, that is fine too — the link is not used up until you press the button. Prefer your password? It still works exactly as before: choose “use password instead” on the sign-in screen. Inviting a client just got easier as well — they can accept their invitation with a sign-in link and never have to create a password at all.

Edit and organize straight from the table
Content tables now work like a proper data grid: tick checkboxes to select several entries and publish, unpublish or delete them in one go, flip yes/no fields with a real toggle right in the row, and change a select field from a dropdown on its pill — no need to open each document. Sorting works the way you expect too: click any column heading and the whole collection reorders, newest first, A–Z, by price, by publish date, with dates and numbers sorting properly rather than alphabetically. Everything still respects who can publish, edit or delete, and your table layout is shared with the team so everyone opens the list the same way.
Improvements 7
- Content A Columns button picks which fields show and in what order, with checkmarks, thumbnails and excerpts
- Content Lists now tell you honestly how many entries there are, so a partial view is obvious

Deploys in seconds — the platform renderer is live
New sites now deploy through the shared platform renderer: instead of uploading a whole front-end build, deploying is one small configuration — theme, block components, navigation — and the site is live at its own contentive.io address in seconds. Content and page structure stay fully live: reorder blocks in the Studio and the published site updates instantly, no redeploy. Existing sites keep working exactly as before, and bespoke builds can still opt into uploaded mode.

Three new field types for your content models. Select and Multi-select let you define the exact choices editors can pick from — no more free-text fields where “Video” and “video” mean different things.
