6.0.7 | πŸ‘ Kudos

First of all, thank you @charlie and @kory (and whomever else is involved) for all of the great work rounding out the edges in the recent sprint of updates. V6 is an incredible step forward for CS.

Honestly, I was not a fan of the tabs concept when it was announced (before we all had a chance to play around with it) and thought I’d simply ignore their existence in my builds. Instead, this has become an integral part of my workflow and has sped up my ability to design and incorporate client feedback across many pages of a website. The new organization and separation of structural navigation from element tabs is stellar and the new UI is incredibly smooth.

Also, thank you for brining DevTools back to the main toolbar. Seriously, great work all around.

1 One item I think is still missing that really should be incorporated back in is the ability to see your relevant custom fields in the dynamic content dropdown (more detail here). This is minor in the scheme of things but definitely broke down workflow a bit as I now I keep my acf admin screen open in another tab as a constant reference.

2 As I consider how to explain workflow to clients during handoff, I think the CS dropdown in the WP nav should have a Launch (or similarly worded) link. While I know that clicking directly on Cornerstone does the same thing, its odd explaining to clients that they just click it and not to worry about the dropdown. Something like this could be a simple solution:

3 Also, super minor but the double loader came back when creating a new doc shortly after the initial 6.0.0 release

Indeed, V6 is a beast of an update. @charlie, @kory and team, thanks again for all the hard work! It’s a pleasure to help you beta test these updates. You’re very open to any feedback and discussions. Can’t think of many other companies where the process is this nice :+1:

@DoncoMarketing, it would indeed be nice if the ACF issue was fixed as well. I also like your idea for a dedicated launch menu item.

Hey thanks for the kind words. It’s been a pleasure working on V6. The fun has just begun too!

1.) Dynamic Fields issue will be fixed in the next release.
2.) That is something we can definitely do.
3.) Yeah, I lean on just having the top right notification box show up for this message instead. I’ll talk to the team.
