Spam detection improvement

December 24th, 2025 | Changelog

This release fixed an issue relating to spam detection in form submissions.

New Color Input configuration options

December 18th, 2025 | Changelog

This release added the palette and hide_picker configuration keys for Color Inputs, improved filter behavior for straight and curly quote marks, changed how CloudCannon determines developer files, added better warning messages, and improved overall app performance.

It also addressed several issues, including those affecting SSG suggestions, File Card icons in the Collection Browser, endless loading states after a failed Sync, and .yml and .json Schema files.

Features & Improvements

  • You can now configure the palette option for Color Inputs. This key provides a palette below the color picker for important color values.
  • You can now configure the hide_picker option for Color Inputs with the palette option configured. This key toggles whether CloudCannon displays the color spectrum picker and the palette. When set to true, the Color Input will only display the palette.

_inputs:
  theme_color:
    type: color
    options:
      palette:
        - rgb(255, 128, 0)
        - hsv(00, 70, 50)
        - lightyellow
      hide_picker: true

  "_inputs": {

          "lightyellow"
        ],
        "hide_picker": true
      }
    }
  }
}
  • When using a filter to search files or Sites in one of CloudCannon's Browsers, the filter will now return results for straight quotation marks ( ' or " ) and curly quotation marks ( ’ or ”) whenever a string contains either type of quote character.
  • CloudCannon no longer automatically treats files in a folder called components as developer files.
  • Added a warning message to the Site Navigation when your Site uses features that require the new version of CloudCannon.

New Input validation options

December 12th, 2025 | Changelog

This release added several new Input validation keys, a template HTML element and better default behavior for Array Editable Regions, and support for square brackets in data-prop key.

It also addressed several issues, including those affecting Component Editable Regions where data-prop referenced an external file, the Avatars list when collaboratively editing a file, and the image cropper in File Inputs.

Features & Improvements

  • Added the min_graphemes, min_graphemes_message, max_graphemes, max_graphemes_message, min_words, min_words_message, max_words, max_words_message, and locale configuration keys for Input validation. These keys are available for Code, Color, File, Select, Text, Rich Text, and URL Inputs. To use this key in a Select Input, allow_create must be set to true.
    • The min_graphemes and max_graphemes keys define the string length, in graphemes, that CloudCannon will allow in an Input. The min_graphemes_message and max_graphemes_message keys define custom error messages that explain why a value has failed the validation criteria.
    • The min_words and max_words keys define the string length, in words, that CloudCannon will allow in an Input. The min_words_message and max_words_message keys define custom error messages that explain why a value has failed the validation criteria.
    • The locale key defines which language CloudCannon should use to determine a single grapheme or word. This key accepts a single language subtag.

        "max_graphemes": 10,
        "locale": "en-US"
      }
    }
  }
}
  • For Array Editable Regions, you can now use <template> HTML elements to populate new array items rather than registering components. You can add the data-id attribute to each <template> element, allowing you to define several array item templates.

copied

<editable-array data-prop="my_array" data-id-key="_name">
	<template data-id="hero">
		<h1 data-editable="text" data-prop="title"></h1>
	</template>
	<template data-id="testimonials">
		<div>
			<p data-editable="text" data-prop="message"></p>
		</div>
	</template>
	...
</editable-array>
  • For Array Editable Regions in complex arrays or page building, CloudCannon will now use the value of data-component-key and data-component as the value for data-id-key and data-id by default, when the latter are undefined.
  • Editable Regions now support [] square brackets in the file path for @file, @data, and @collection special values for data-prop. If your file path contains a single set of [] brackets, you can surround the file path with double [[]] brackets.

Fixes

  • Fixed an issue where Component Editable Regions did not populate correctly when data-prop was an external file.
  • Fixed an issue where switching which person was editing a file would make everyone appear to have the same avatar in the Avatars list in the Editing Interface Header.
  • Fixed an issue where, when uploading an image using a File Input, CloudCannon would open the image cropper even when the image had the correct dimensions.
  • Updated dependencies to patch security vulnerabilities.

Use a filename as the value_key for Select Inputs

December 5th, 2025 | Changelog

This release added new values for value_key in Select Inputs, better copy for in-app guides, Status and Guide Progress tooltips, and improved clarity for error and activity messaging and the Bandwidth Usage table.

It also addressed several issues, including those affecting the in-app guides, broken links, Rich Text Inputs, file titles, and UI appearance.

Features & Improvements

  • You can now use value_key: filename and value_key: filename_without_ext to populate a Select Input with the filename from a file on your Site. Here is an example Input configuration:
cloudcannon.config.yaml
copied
_inputs:
  related_articles:
    type: multiselect
    options:
      values: collections.articles
      value_key: filename_without_ext
cloudcannon.config.json
copied
{
  "_inputs": {
    "related_articles": {
      "type": "multiselect",
      "options": {
        "values": "collections.articles",
        "value_key": "filename_without_ext"
      }
    }
  }
}
  • Better copy for the Getting Started with Editing in-app guide.

  • Added a tooltip to the Status and Guide Progress indicators next to Dashboard in your Site Navigation.
  • Better error messaging for the Invalid global paths warning on your Site Dashboard.
  • Better copy for Cards under the Activity tab on your Site Dashboard to provide more context when you update your Site settings.

Fixes

  • Fixed a broken link for the Syncs tab on your Site Dashboard.
  • Removed the Complete the Guide: Getting Started with Editing from the Host your website on the Internet in-app guide, as web hosting does not require you to have configured WYSIWYG editing.
  • Fixed an issue where the Skip Tour button was still visible after a task was completed in the Getting Started with Editing in-app guide.
  • Fixed an issue where Rich Text Inputs were not resizable by default.
  • Fixed an issue where, when updating the title of a file, the title in the Collection Browser, Editing Interface Header, and Save changes modal did not immediately update.
  • Fixed spacing issues and UI appearance across the app.
