Create repeatable links easily

Hey! 👋

We’re excited to announce the release of Slice Machine v2.11.0! This update brings a big improvement for creating links: repeatable links 🔥

🔗 Repeatable links

We’ve evolved how repeatable links are created to make it easier for developers to set them up and for marketers to add them in the Page Builder. Now, building lists of links — like CTAs — has never been simpler.

How does it work?

In Slice Machine, when adding a link field to a slice or page type, you’ll see a new “Repeat” option in the field settings. Just check the box to enable repeatable links, save your changes, and push them to the Page Builder.

In the Page Builder, marketers can use this feature to effortlessly create, reorder, and edit lists of links directly within their slices.

Why does this matter?

This change makes it quicker and easier for developers to configure links, while giving marketers the flexibility to add and manage them with confidence and simplicity.

What’s next?

This is just the beginning! We’re continuing to improve how links work and exploring even more ways to make configuring Prismic easier and more efficient.

New Link text feature released!

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.

First Demo of Enhanced Link Field: Label & Repeatable Links Now Supported, Release Planned for September

Hey everyone!

We’ve got an exciting update on our new link field! This week, we have our first internal demo ready, which covers the initial scope of the new link field. The demo shows that the label and link are now combined into one field, and you can add a repeatable property. This means it’ll be super easy to create common slices, like Hero sections, with multiple links or buttons.

We’re aiming to release this feature in the first week of September. After that, we’ll follow up by adding a variant property to give you even more flexibility.

As part of our broader focus on making the link field more powerful and intuitive, we’re also considering additional features. For example, we’re thinking about:

  • Allowing marketers to repeat the link or button multiple times.
  • Adding Variant property, that you'll be able to leverage as "style” for your buttons & links

These ideas aren’t finalized yet and might change based on the feedback we get from you.

We’re committed to creating the best possible developer experience, making it easy for you to build advanced designs while keeping things simple for marketing teams. Our goal is to make your experience with Prismic enjoyable and perfectly aligned with how websites are built.

Stay tuned for more updates, and let us know what you think!
