Strapi 5 Is Out And We Are Excited To Share All The New Features

Here is what has been happening.

Introducing Draft & Publish and Content History in Strapi 5

We're excited to introduce two new features in Strapi 5 that make managing content easier for you. With Draft & Publish and Content History, you have more control over every step of your content’s lifecycle.

Draft & Publish lets you work on drafts without risking accidental publishing. You can make changes, save your progress, and only publish when you're ready. This keeps your work safe and gives you the freedom to experiment.

Content History is like a time machine for your content. It lets you go back and restore previous versions whenever you need. Whether you’re fixing a mistake or just want to see how things looked before, this feature gives you peace of mind.

We built these tools to help you work faster and with fewer headaches. Strapi 5 is here to make content management simple, so you can focus on building and creating without any worry.
