Product Updates
Role-based permissions
Your organization’s workflow gets another boost thanks to the ability to let users only manage records created by users with the same role!
Configurable Twitter card
Up until now, all Twitter cards generated by DatoCMS had the twitter:card property set to summary. Now you can change this settings in every SEO field!
You can also configure the stardard Twitter card in the project global settings:
Upgrade to the latest DatoCMS clients to start using this feature on your frontend website!
Save frequent searches as filters
Filters can now be saved and shared between users for easy reuse.
Everyone can freely save personal filters, but only users whose roles allow the creation of shared filters can make them available for everyone:
Add links to external URLs in Navigation bar
You can now add menu items on the sidebar navigation bar pointing to external resources (ie. internal documentation/guidelines, intranets, etc.)

Creator-based permissions added to roles
Your organization’s workflow gets another boost thanks to a new feature, the ability to let editors only manage records they created.

New tabular visualization mode
We just added the ability to present DatoCMS records in a table, with the ability to completely configure the columns (add, remove, reorder and resize).
The classic "compact" visualization mode is still the default, so if you want to switch to this new mode head over one of your models and change it to "Tabular view":
