With NovaDB 1.6, we are setting new standards for efficient content and product data management. The latest version introduces numerous improvements that make everyday work easier for editors, product data managers, and partners. From an enhanced web interface to expanded collaboration features, NovaDB 1.6 provides more flexibility, transparency, and control.

New Features and Enhancements in NovaDB 1.6

Web UI: Improved Usability and Navigation

The NovaDB user interface has been optimized to improve workflows and make work as efficient as possible for editors and product managers.

  • Direct Discussions on Objects: Comments enable discussions within the system—including the ability to mention other users, who are automatically notified.
  • Better URL Handling: Deep links are now fully supported, while browser history retains the current scope and branch settings.
  • Optimized Overview and Navigation: Objects can now be more easily organized, edited, and managed. Especially useful: "Open Definition in New Tab" for UI-related system elements such as areas, forms, or attribute trees.
  • Visual Enhancements: The updated job and job detail pages now provide live updates and a clear list of related objects.

New Notification Features

To enhance transparency, a new "Snack Bar" has been introduced. This immediately informs users if the active branch has changed—without disrupting their workflow.

More Control Over Data and Processes

NovaDB 1.6 offers new options for more efficient object management and editing:

  • Simplified Merge Dialog: The merge interface has been redesigned for better clarity and usability.
  • Batch Deletion: Multiple objects can now be deleted at once, saving time in large projects.
  • Space-Saving Display: The object detail form now uses available space more effectively and features an intuitive overflow menu.

New User Manual for an Easier Onboarding

Whether you're a new user or an experienced one, the new user manual is accessible directly from the main menu and provides:

  • A detailed explanation of all UI-related features
  • A reference for user actions and system objects
  • A complete release history
  • Various search options for quick navigation

Enhanced API for Developers and Integrations

NovaDB 1.6 also introduces new possibilities for integration partners. The updated API now supports comments with extended functions and offers a faster system for detecting object changes. Additionally, new security and validation mechanisms have been implemented.
