But in an exciting turn of events, this highly anticipated update is now ready. Plus, there’s an additional stocking stuffer in the December 2024 update of Agility.

Here’s what you need to know about these shiny new features and how they’ll make your CMS experience even better.

Email Alerts: Stay in the Loop, Always

Imagine this: the CEO requests an urgent change to be made to, say, the pricing page on your website. They leave a comment for you, inside Agility. But you won’t see it until you actually log into Agility. Meanwhile, the CEO is pacing back and forth because that change needs to happen now.

Not. Cool.

With Agility’s new email alert system, you’ll receive an email alert when you’re tagged or mentioned in a comment. If the comment is urgent – like a time-sensitive pricing change – you’ll know to take immediate action. If it’s a comment to be addressed or a question to be answered, you can act accordingly.

Email alerts in Agility CMS let you know when there's a comment you are tagged in.

In a meeting and you’re tagged in a comment? You’ll know. Out for lunch? Heads down working on something else? No worries. Always have visibility into comments or change requests that require your attention.

With email alerts, you’ll know what you need to do inside Agility before you’re inside Agility.

Rich Text Editor Updates: Easy Content Creation Made Easier

Ever cut and paste content from Microsoft Word or Google Docs into a rich text editor? It’s frustrating. Formatting gets lost and suddenly, your workflow is bogged down by extra steps or time-consuming rework.

Not. Cool.

Say farewell to using Notepad as a pit stop. Now, you can cut and paste content directly from Microsoft Word or Google Docs into Agility’s rich text editor without losing formatting or fixing annoying typing or spacing issues.

Rich text editor updates make it faster to create and edit content

Here’s what it means for you:

  • Better efficiency because you skip the back-and-forth with intermediate tools.
  • Fewer errors as content is pasted over correctly without losing key details during transfer, thus eliminating the need for manual content recreation.
  • Create more compelling content in less time.

This functionality also extends to images. Stop the endless cycle of saving images, locating them, and then uploading them manually. Now, in Agility CMS, you can add visuals faster and edit them on the fly.

For text and images, you can cut. Paste. Edit. Publish. Faster and easier than ever.

Why These Updates Matter

Agility CMS empowers users like you with tools to make managing digital content intuitive and efficient. These updates were made with your workflow in mind. From staying informed with real-time notifications to creating and editing content seamlessly, these features simplify your day-to-day tasks.

Now that’s a holiday gift you won’t want to exchange.
