Three Cool Features of Agility CMS Web Studio: The Headless CMS Content Preview Tool

Web Studio is an easy-to-use headless CMS content preview tool that shows you exactly what your content will look like when it’s live.

That Oxford comma you added to change “We’d like to thank our customers, Oprah Winfrey and The Rock” to “We’d like to thank our customers, Oprah Winfrey, and The Rock” will appear where you placed it.

The same goes for your images, buttons and links (or maybe it should be your images, buttons, and links).

Besides the instant preview updates, what makes Web Studio by Agility CMS such an impactful and essential tool for content creation?  Here are three more cool features of Web Studio.

1. Live Collaboration Tools

Multiple people can work on the same page within Web Studio. For example:

• One person can be responsible for updating content.
• Another person is working on uploading images.
• Another person performing QA testing ensures hyperlinks point to the right destination.

Web Studio also features the Presence Indicator. It visually displays an icon of who is online within the system – even if they’re not on the same page as you.

But with a single click, you can jump to the page or asset that person is working on and collaborate on the same thing, at the same time.

Add it all up and these features save the endless cycle of making an edit > exiting the page > telling someone an update is pending > them going in > making the edit > exiting the page > and, well, you get the drift.

Instead, web pages within Web Studio become a hangout where colleagues get together, and work together.

2. Content Protection

Sometimes, there’s content that absolutely, positively, completely, 100% cannot and should not be edited whatsoever.

Dramatic? Yes. But also necessary.

Web Studio includes Field Locking and it’s exactly what it sounds like. Once you’re working inside a field, Web Studio automatically greys it out and locks it. This prevents the problems associated with content collisions and accidental overwrites, such as:

• Lost work: One version might overwrite the other, causing valuable updates to be lost.
• Inconsistent messaging: Conflicting edits can result in a lack of brand consistency.
• Wasted effort: Time is spent on unnecessary reviews instead of producing killer content.

Frequent content collisions can frustrate team members. They slow down productivity. They reduce efficiency and bottleneck workflows.

But with this type of content protection inside Web Studio, you can ensure critical content stays safe while you work on it.

3. Comments with Context

Would you rather:

• Print a PDF, have someone mark it up with potentially unreadable handwriting (70% of workers struggle to read colleagues’ handwriting), and then try to decipher and implement those comments?

Or:

• Place comments directly onto a web page, next to the item that needs attention, automatically notifying your colleague, who can instantly see the comment, understand its context, and make the change?

You’d select the second option. Every time.

Web Studio Commenting Mode allows you to leave comments exactly where they’re needed. The hassle of matching feedback to content? Gone for good.

Feedback is clearer. Collaboration is easier. Content updates happen faster. No more guesswork, just efficient teamwork.
