Slice Machine 2.0.0 for advanced slice modeling
We are happy to share that with our latest dev tools release, we are taking slice modeling to the next level!
We know that slice modeling can often be complex. The more you add to your slices, the more difficult it becomes for content teams to create and edit content, which is why we’ve had limitations around content modeling in the past.
However, with the release of the new Page Builder, the editing experience has become much more efficient and we felt it was the perfect time to implement more advanced slice modeling capabilities.
Introducing slices with multiple cards, buttons, and links!
We're excited to announce native support for more sophisticated slice modeling use cases. Now, your slices can include multiple repeating groups of content like cards, buttons, links, and icons!

Our hope is this helps increase both productivity and creativity when it comes to creating pages for your website, and this is just the beginning!

Team spaces: simplify content organization for large teams
Many of you have voiced the need for better ways to manage content as your repositories grow. More content and more contributors equals more complexity. With team spaces, we’re simplifying these challenges by allowing you to define spaces for different teams.

Beyond just defining these spaces, you will also have the ability to quickly grant editing and publishing rights per team space, so you can rest assured that everyone has the proper access to the exact content they need.

With team spaces, you get:
- Organized Workspaces: Dedicate spaces for each team to manage specific content areas (e.g., blogs, landing pages, website).
- Immediate Onboarding: New members can quickly contribute within their designated spaces, seeing only relevant content.
- Controlled Access: Easily manage who edits critical pages, ensuring security while enabling collaboration.
With team spaces, you can experience better organization, productivity, and collaboration when managing content at scale!
