Govstack CMS v1.10 – Govstack

New Features

Allows administrators to review and approve content changes before they are published to the website.
It helps ensure accuracy, quality, and consistency by adding a structured review step prior to going live.
For full details, see Approvals or watch Approvals training video.

Makes it easier for citizens to find and use files with clearer filters, optional “Download/View” links, and pages that don’t show empty tables or broken listings.
Let admins control how document pages look and behave, including adding content around file details and giving Media Manager sections or subsites their own design.

Prevents “dead-end” searches by hiding pagination when there are no results, so citizens aren’t clicking through empty pages.
Ensures pre-filtered links (for specific businesses, services, amenities, or parks) open with the right filters applied, so shared URLs work as citizens expect.

Improves trust in site search by keeping invalid content types out of results.
Updates Google Programmable Search to match the website’s design, so search results feel like a seamless part of the site.

Gives admins more control over how information is highlighted, with more configurable page areas and per‑device control of how many items show per row.
Improves how banners and carousels present key messages, with better handling of multiple images, video sizing, text overlays, and buttons.
Polishes visual consistency across components, including galleries, feeds, and extra content areas.
Fixed an issue where "items per row" settings were not consistently applied in left and right page layouts.

Reduces email noise by stopping subscriber notifications for news posts that are more than 31 days old, so citizens receive more timely updates.
Improves the look of subscription emails with corrected logo sizing and spacing.
Makes alerts safer to manage by auto‑filling the start date when admins forget to set it, and helps citizens find more content by including “Summary” text in news searches.

Speeds up admin workflows with a universal login shortcut (double-click the ctrl button) and larger editors that make content updates more comfortable.
Improves clarity when managing complex pages, for example by automatically labelling anchored accordions in the Backoffice.
Gives admins finer control over global content and layout areas around main content and side navigation, reducing the need for workarounds.

Makes navigation more reliable by fixing issues with dropdown and hamburger menus not opening on some devices or browsers.
Ensures transparent headers and “View all” links display with the correct colours and styling, so key navigation paths stay visible.

Improves table readability by moving captions above tables and increasing contrast.
Fixes form labels and autocomplete on the subscribe page, making it clearer for citizens, including those using assistive technology.
Enhances screen‑reader and keyboard navigation with better ARIA usage and labelling in side navigation, Media Manager pagination, Business Directory, Parks & Facilities, and news listings.
