Fresh out of the oven

Hey there! 👋

I'm excited to share that our Devtools team at Prismic starter to work on the topic of adding Tables to your pages.

The team is currently in a discovery phase to identify the main use cases and problems in the current workarounds. We are iterating on some designs and will conduct a round of interviews to get more insights from our users.

So far, we have identified 2 main use cases that we would like to address:

Tables in rich content:

The most common examples of use cases we are observing are the comparison articles ("Us vs them"), financial information tables and documentation tables. Here are a few examples:

Example from Digital ocean documentation

Example from LVMH public investors website

Pricing and feature comparison Tables:

We believe these use cases include more advanced needs to create complex tables that can include CTAs, tooltips, boolean conditions, and more styling options. Here are a few examples:

Example from Cloudfare pricing page

Example from Slite pricing page

Stay tuned, we will come up with more updates by the end of the year on this project!

Hey! 👋

We're happy to announce the release of Slice Machine v2.8.0, with, as promised the addition of a great enhancement for the link field: link text 🔥

🔗 Link Text

• We're upgrading our link field to make it easier for developers to create links with display text and style in slices while providing a simpler experience for marketers in the Page Builder.
• As a first milestone we are introducing the ability to allow a text property in link fields that let marketers add a display text such as "Get started" in their links. On the developer side we also updated the PrismicLink SDK to support the new text property.

How to use it?

In Slice Machine, add a link field in one of your slices or Custom Type / Page Type. By default the new text property will be activated. Save your field and push your changes to your Page Builder.

In the Page Builder, add the slice to a page and start editing your link. You will see that now you can add a display text to your link.

How does this simplify your workflow?

Instead of having to manually add a key text field to all your links, you can simply use this property in your link fields that require a display text.

Stay tuned, this is only our first milestones, we're coming back with even more enhancements to the link field and the way you build slices with Prismic.
