Sitecore has introduced the AI features into the Sitecore Content Hub. It's an advanced tool to provide features and functionality to content generation, virtual search, content Translation, Image tagging, and many more.  In this blog post, I am explaining a few of them and how to use them from the context of the Content Entity.

Click on the Enable button for both Content Generation and Visual Search to enable AI features. Content Generation: After enabling AI for content creation, you can generate original content, update or enhance existing content, refine tone, summarize, and check grammar and spelling. To use these features, open any content entity in Content Hub and navigate to a single-line text, multi-line text, or CKEditor field. You’ll see a star...

In this blog post, I will explain the Experience Edge for Sitecore Content Hub, Experience Edge for Content Hub APIs, GraphQL IDE, and GraphQL. Experience Edge exposes data through GraphQL APIs and media through a CDN. The CDN is responsible for routing and caching queries that flow to and from the delivery platform. Whenever Content Hub detects changes to approved content or the schema, it raises an event that triggers the automatic publishing process. Refer to the document for more details about the Experience Edge:  Experience Edge for Content Hub To start with Experience Edge IDE, we need to first understand the Preview Vs Delivery APIs: Preview API: A GraphQL API that exposes a preview of your content. This API provides access to all content, including drafts and other content that is not yet approved. Delivery API: A GraphQL API that exposes your published content. This API provides access to approved and published cont...

Sitecore Content Hub provides Taxonomy and Option list features to classify the data; both have their use case to choose the appropriate approach. At a high level  Use Taxonomy when the data contains more than 50 items. Use Taxonomy if you want to apply a security rule based on the values, as the option list does not support it.

Sitecore Content Hub provides you with the features and functionality to create a trigger, an action, and a respective script to enhance your customization and implement your business logic. As we are aware, we can execute the Trigger, Action, and Script on the Save button of the content entity, but in case you want to update any field value example, date field values, once the author approves the content after final review, instead of the save button then we have to tweak our approach while setting up condition into the trigger.  As we know, triggers, actions, and scripts in Sitecore Content Hub are typically executed by clicking the Save button of a content entity. However, suppose you want to update a field, such as a date field, specifically when the author approves the content after the final review (rather than during draft, review, or version save). In that case, the trigger conditions need to be carefully configured. The business requir...

Problem Statement: Due to certain business requirements, we create fields read-only or hide them from the author to avoid unnecessary confusion while ensuring business logic is implemented.  In Sitecore Content Hub, we create a field property from the Content-Type option, there is no way to hide it during the creation process. Solution: There are two types of members for content types: content members and detail members . Content members represent individual pieces of content and are editable on the content detail page. Detail members represent content metadata and can be hidden from the content detail page. To meet the above requirements, you can change the member type from content to detail by moving the member to the M.Content schema page. Next, you can update the entity details component to ensure this member does not appear on the page. Happy Sitecoreing  😊
