What's new in OpenCMS 8

Open CMS is one of the most popular, java based, content management systems.

The new OpenCMS 8 contains a greatly improved user interface for content managers.  Since OpenCMS 8 all page building and content management activities are based on drag & drop functionality.  The "Advanced Direct Edit" mode allows content managers to create page content by drag&drop.  

The new sitemap editor allows creating new pages and rearranging the navigation tree by drag & drop.

With this version, OpenCMS 8 becomes a powerful tool for webmasters by enabling them to create and maintain their site autonomously.  

• The "Advanced Direct Edit" mode allows to create page content by drag & drop.
• The sitemap editor allows to create new pages and rearrange the navigation tree by drag & drop.
