What's New in Ocho
Table of Contents
Cascade's look and feel has been updated. Most UI elements have had some cosmetic alteration, but most remain largely in the same general location. Even elements like the Text Module have been updated, though it retains almost the exact same functionality. Previous Theme New Theme Previously, the option to add new assets was the New button. Now, it's the Add Content button with the large fuchsia dot and plus sign. Previous New Button New Add Content Button In the last version, clicking a folder asset in the Explorer would select it and make it display in the Workspace. In the new version, clicking a folder asset only expands it to view its contents. To select the folder itself, click the Folder Select Arrow. Previous Folder Selection New Folder Selection The process for locating where to place a new asset, or how to make an internal link in Cascade has changed. Instead of the double lightboxes, Ocho now uses the Slider Pane to display the Choose a File, Page, or Link Window, or the Choose a Folder Window (both of which work identically). See How to Select a Placement Folder for more information on this process. Previous Placement Process New Placement Process Previously, the Shortcut Menu offered a very limited number of options. Ocho offers many more options under the Shortcut Menu. Once an asset populates the Workspace, the More button in the Action Bar offers many of the same options with a few additions. Previous Shortcut Menu New Shortcut Menu & More Button Cascade use to use a less optimized process for saving drafts and previewing changes before submitting edits. Ocho has the Preview process built into the submission process. Previous Preview Process New Preview Process The content editing submission process has been updated. Be careful to fully submit a Workflow before navigating away from previewing edits. Previous Submission Process New Submission Process Before Ocho, once an edit was submitted, users had to manually reselect the asset. Now, there's a Back to page link which immediately returns users to the asset they just submitted. Previous Asset Return New Asset Return For several actions, the user's browser will now trigger a confirmation pop-up window, rather than Cascade. Previous Confirmation New Confirmation Previously, Cascade had a subtle, static notification system. Ocho uses a dynamic notifier which allows you to select most common next steps in a process such as submitting after saving a draft.
