During our recent period of planned maintenance, we successfully upgraded the Web CMS to the latest platform version.

The WST have undertaken a review of the CMS Media Library, the assets it contains and how these assets are used.  Following that review, we have identified a number of governance changes that we will be implementing over the coming months.

The WST will be applying the 'Read Access' governance setting to the CMS Media Library on Monday 29th November 2021.

Following the completion of our testing schedule, the CMS will be upgraded to use the latest supported version of PHP 7.

CMS Users that have registered for a Siteimprove Dashboard Report relating to section(s) and website(s) they are responsible for will see Potential Issues introduced to the reports for the first time.

During our last period of planned maintenance, we took the opportunity to upgrade the CMS to the latest release which includes some functional improvements and enhancements for our users.

The fully adopted Siteimprove 'Next Generation' Accessibility Module will pick up accessibility issues in new or updated content in the CMS. Our process will be to contact the owners of the content and ask them to fix it.

This facility will provide a quicker way for users to navigate and edit accessibility issues in CMS content.

Find out how the team have updated the format of information now available for Content Types in the CMS, and ensure you are aware of our guidance relating to the use of the Code Only Content Type.

We have collated a list of Content Types within the CMS that we will no longer support. It is important that our users are aware of them and no longer use them to create new content.
