WEB UI

Component-centric Page Building.

Schemas map 1:1 with component props. Compose web pages using template components.

SCHEMA FILES

Code-based schema definitions.

Define schemas in TypeScript. Type interfaces are auto-generated. Preview your schema changes locally before going to production.

tsx

// @/collections/BlogPosts.schema.ts

import {schema} from '@blinkk/root-cms';

export default schema.define({
  name: 'BlogPosts',
  fields: [
    schema.string({
      id: 'title',
      label: 'Blog title',
    }),
    schema.richtext({
      id: 'content',
      label: 'Blog content',
    }),
  ],
});

INSTANT PREVIEWS

Headless. But not.

CMS edits are stored in "draft" mode. Preview changes right away side-by-side.

SCHEDULED PUBLISHING

Go live now. Or whenever.

Developers no longer need to be up at 4AM to push changes live. Content editors can publish urgent updates on their own.

OTHER FEATURES

Constantly evolving.

Root CMS is new and features are constantly being added. Check out some of those features below or follow the blog to stay up-to-date with our latest releases.

COLLABORATIVE EDITING

Let's edit together.

GOOGLE SHEETS LOCALIZATION

Anyone can localize.

With the ability to export and import strings for translations using Google Sheets, it's so easy that anyone can localize. Simply share the sheet with translators, and when ready, hit the import button.

ACCESS CONTROL

Share with those who need access.

Need to send preview links to legal, translators, and any other stakeholders? Simply share access with them as VIEWERS. They'll be able to preview unpublished content without the ability to edit it.

VERSION HISTORY

Revert accidental changes.

Deleted something you shouldn't have? Or maybe you just liked the old copy better. Restore to an old state using the Version History.
