Communications
CMS Announce
The CMS Announce mailing lists are the primary method of communication regarding the Cascade and Drupal CMS services. They provide email alerts of maintenance and outages, plus notifications about upgrades and new template features and functionality. New website managers are automatically subscribed to their CMS Announce list, but anyone interested in keeping up-to-date on the Cascade or Drupal CMS services may also subscribe.

- Scheduling Content — Validation will be added to the scheduling tool, allowing editors to properly schedule content to publish without issue related to the real time.
- Adding Content — Easily browse content type options and add from an organized bank versus selecting from a long dropdown list.
- Visual Router Grid Styling — Items will break into two rows when the max number of list items is hit instead of fitting them all on one row. Users will also be able to toggle between light and dark themes.
- News Image, Date & Title Styling — The large margin between a news image and the date and title will be fixed.
- Video Embed Play Button — The play button overlaid on full-width video embeds will now appear. In the meantime, as a quick content fix, make sure the beginning of your embedded video link includes “https”
