Improvements and Resolved Issues in Page Builder: A Better Authoring Experience in SitecoreAI
In This Article
The latest update to Sitecore Developers brings several meaningful enhancements to Page Builder, focused on improving usability, consistency, and content accuracy for authors and marketers.
Released on May 12, 2026, these updates streamline workflows across template management, localization, experimentation, and inline editing—making the authoring experience more intuitive and reliable.
Enhanced Template Preview Experience
One of the most impactful improvements in this release is the support for custom thumbnails in Page Builder for page templates created from branch templates in Content Editor.
Previously, authors often had limited visual context when selecting templates. With this update, configured thumbnails now appear directly within Page Builder, enabling teams to:
- Quickly identify the correct template
- Reduce template selection errors
- Improve content creation efficiency
- Deliver a more visual and user-friendly authoring experience
For organizations managing large template libraries, this enhancement significantly improves discoverability and governance.
Improved Navigation Consistency Across the Platform
Sitecore has also refined internal navigation behavior to create a more seamless in-app workflow.
Content Usage and Assign Content Item Dialog Updates
Links inside the and dialogs now open instead of redirecting users to Content Editor.
