• Batch Edit Captions
  You can now apply a single caption to multiple image assets using the Batch Edit tool—saving time and reducing manual entry. (TNCMS-555722)

• API Support for Exporting Users and Transactions for NXT
  We have added backend support for exporting users and subscription transactions from the Contacts application in BLOX NXT. This functionality will be available to BLOX NXT users in a future release. (TNCMS-555755)

• Search by Slug in NXT
  You can now search for content by slug in the global keyword search bar using the new slug: operator — a feature commonly used in the legacy system and now supported in BLOX NXT.

  • Use slug:city-council to return any assets with slugs that include “city-council.”

  • Use slug:"city-council-vote" (with quotes) to return an exact match.

  This update makes it faster and easier for editors to locate specific content by slug, just like in the BLOX CMS. (TNCMS-555825)

  Labels Removed

  The following labels have been removed from the dropdown:

  • News Article

  • Report

  • Reportage

  • Syndication

  If a previously saved asset includes one of these removed labels, it will automatically default to "Article".

  Note: Label Renamed

  • Article is now labeled as News. (Schema and value remain unchanged.) (TNCMS-555162)

• 'Views' Renamed to 'Total Views' in Editorial Search (NXT Only)
  To improve consistency and clarity in NXT data dashboards, the 'Views' KPI on the Editorial Search screen has been renamed to 'Total Views'. This change applies only to Editorial Search. The KPI label remains 'Views' on the Editorial Dashboard & Home Dashboard. (TNCMS-555686)

• “Content Longevity” Widget Renamed to “Days Viewed” (NXT Only)
  To improve clarity on the NXT Asset-level dashboard (or per asset stats), the widget formerly labeled “Content Longevity” is now titled “Days Viewed.” No functionality has changed—only the label. (TNCMS-555842)

• New “Videos Published” Metric and Updated Labeling (NXT Only)
  We've updated the KPI bar in the NXT Editorial Search for improved clarity:

  • “Assets Published” is now labeled “Articles Published”

  These changes provide a more accurate and actionable snapshot of published content by type, helping editors track output more effectively. (TNCMS-555810)

• Trending Content Links Now Open Asset Dashboard (NXT Only)
  In the Trending Content widget in NXT Insights, clicking on an article title will now take you to the asset’s dashboard view instead of the edit page, providing a more complete overview of the asset’s performance and engagement, offering editors better context before deciding to make changes. (TNCMS-555812)

• Chart Label Renamed for Clarity (NXT Only)
  In the Editorial Dashboard, the "Assets Published" horizontal bar chart has been renamed to "Assets Published by Type" for improved clarity and consistency in NXT. (TNCMS-555851)

BUGS

• We’ve resolved a cosmetic bug affecting the Automations panel under Editorial > Assets > Gear Icon > Automations. (TNCMS-555582)

• We resolved a bug that caused editors to see the error message "1 or more properties are invalid" when trying to save, publish, or advance certain articles in NXT. This was triggered by a dynamic collection inside the article that had no results. The system was incorrectly formatting that empty field, which blocked any updates to the article. (TNCMS-555798)

• Resolved an issue where Apple News content used an incorrect canonical URL, impacting tracking accuracy with some third-parties. URLs are now properly generated using the canonical property. Note: Apple News support is currently in closed beta. (TNCMS-555808)

• We fixed an issue in NXT where the number of published assets by type (e.g. articles, videos, galleries) always appeared as zero. With this fix, the correct counts for each asset type now appear as expected. (TNCMS-555859)

• In BLOX NXT, we fixed an issue where an article’s rank on the Trending Dashboard didn’t match its rank shown elsewhere in the system. Now, article rankings are consistent across all displays, ensuring a more accurate view of what’s trending with readers. (TNCMS-555861)

• Resolved an issue where Google Tag Manager (GTM) was loading before the Consent Management tool. The system now ensures Consent Management loads first, supporting proper compliance and user privacy controls. (TNCMS-555875)

• Resolved an issue affecting the apple_exclude custom property used to prevent articles from being sent to Apple News. Note: Apple News support is currently in closed beta. (TNCMS-555911)

This release also makes minor infrastructure changes that should not be noticeable to admin or front-end users.
