{{ title }}

Craft 2.3 packs over 230 new features and improvements, aimed to make working with content an even better experience than ever before.

Editing on the Index Pages

It’s now possible to make changes to your entries, categories, assets, or users right from their index pages. You can edit a user from a modal window, update the status on a batch of entries, replace a file with a new one, bulk-delete a few unneeded categories, and more.

Matrix, Revamped

Matrix fields have a new look, and it’s now possible to reorder, expand/collapse, enable/disable, and delete multiple blocks at once. Matrix block type fields can now have instruction text, and they’re no longer required to have names.

Five New Languages

The Control Panel has been translated into five new languages: Simplified Chinese, Hebrew, Korean, Spanish, and Swedish. That brings the grand total up to 15 supported languages!

More Scalable

Several areas of the Control Panel have been updated to do a better job handling sites with hundreds (or even thousands) of entries, categories, users, and assets.

More Extensible

Plugins can add their own tools to element index pages using the new Element Actions APIs, and there are some new hooks that make it possible to customize the index pages’ table columns.
