You can now specify vanity URLs which will function as redirects to the page you're editing. An useful example for this is to specify /summer-sale-2026 as the vanity URL for a page that might live deep down in the tree at: /blog/general/summer-sale-2026

robots.txt / llms.txt)Admins can manage per-site discovery settings (sitemaps, user-agent rules, site summary). The CMS renders live robots.txt and llms.txt, and discovery content is included in content push.
Editors can browse archived page revisions and restore a previous version. Historic revisions open read-only in the editor; saves on archived content are blocked.
