Content Studio v.20260129.1 delivers major functional enhancements, usability improvements, performance optimizations, and extensive stability fixes across Authoring Hub. A strong focus has been placed on authoring efficiency, state persistence, and simplified management of complex catalogs, making authoring faster, safer, and more intuitive.
✨ New Features
New Quick Edit Experience
- Introduced a new Quick Edit UI for faster and more intuitive entity updates.
- Improved field layouts, validations, and visual feedback across items, features, materials, attributes, and restrictions.
- Reduced context switching between full view and quick view, enabling faster authoring with fewer errors.
Local Storage Support
- Added local storage handling to better preserve UI state and user context.
- Improves resilience against accidental refreshes or navigation, reducing loss of in-progress work.
- Enhances overall user experience by maintaining selections, filters, and view states.
Advanced Group Filtering
- Introduced group-level filtering capabilities, allowing users to efficiently locate entities within large and deeply nested catalogs.
- Enhanced filtering logic with logical operators, for example, AND/OR, grouping, and conditional rules.
- Significantly improves navigation and productivity for catalogs with high data volume.
Enhanced Group Management
- Added and improved group creation, editing, deletion, and revert workflows across all entity types.
- Improved handling of nested and multi-level groups for items, features, materials, attributes, and dependencies.
- Enables cleaner catalog organization and easier maintenance of complex group structures.
🚀 Enhancements & Improvements
Authoring & UI Improvements

🐞 Bug Fixes
This release resolves a large number of critical and high-impact issues across:
- Quick Edit & Full View UI
- Filtering, grouping, and dependency management
- Restrictions, attributes, features, and subitems
- Import/Export workflows (IDM, restrictions, assets, groups)
- Geometry rendering and plan view handling
- Crash scenarios, UI overlaps, missing fields, and incorrect state updates
Overall stability has been significantly improved, with reduced crashes, consistent UI behavior, and more reliable authoring outcomes across all entity types.
