Link field updates

UID and highlights in the search modal

• When you are creating a link to another page in Prismic e.g. you're working on a blog page and you want to add a link to your home page, well when you search in this modal you will now see a highlight to show why results have been returned. For example, if there has been a match based on the page name or on the UID then you will see these items highlight

Broken Links

• If a user has a link to a page that no longer exists (e.g. it has been archived or deleted) we show this is a broken link

Image field updates

• You may have observed that an empty image field in Prismic looks like a dropzone i.e. a place where you can upload an image. This was done on the assumption that one day it would become a dropzone and that is now the case. Concretely, this means that when you are working on a page with an empty image field, rather than uploading an image to the media library and then selecting it and adding it to your page, you can simply drop an image onto the image field and it will be added to your page

Bug fixes

• We fixed an issue where actions/changes performed in Prismic were not reflected immediately on another part of the screen. For example, you created a new locale but it is not immediately available in the copy to a locale modal and you need to reload the page to see it.

Last year, we prioritised work on improving how you search with Prismic with the overarching goal of simplifying the way you access content.

The first step in this process was to align the search results with your expectations, which was that the search should prioritise the page name.

We then brought a number of other enhancements in the forms of different filters to help you refine your search even more.

And now, we are introducing the ability for you to search based on another field present in your page, the UID.

So, how does the search work with the addition of UID?

• First, and foremost any match with the page name is prioritised at the top of the results (exact matches with the search term, page names starting with the search term, page names containing the search term & fuzzy matches with the search term which allows for typos)
• Then, the search will prioritise matches on the UID (UIDs containing the search term, UIDs that are close to the search term, allowing for typos). If there is an exact match on the UID and no match on the page name this will return the result to the top of the search results
• If both the page name and UID match the search term, the pages will be ranked higher in the results as it matches more criteria ensuring that highly relevant pages are prioritised more
• The match on the UID is shown in the search modal alongside any matches on the title using a text highlight
