EmDash CMS

Nine days after 1.2, EmDash 1.3 is out. Every saved version now shows exactly what changed, and your live site gets the admin's editing tools. One switch also asks AI crawlers not to train on your content. Here's what's new!

WordPress imports bring much more across, from permalinks and server-rendered blocks to Advanced Custom Fields. And Contributors can now edit their own drafts.

emdashcms.comEmDash 1.3: readable revision history and a better inline editorSee exactly what changed in each saved version, edit on the page with the admin's toolbar and image picker, ask AI crawlers not to train on your site, and get faster pages on Cloudflare D1.

That's a wrap on EmDash 1.3. 87 changes went into it, from 16 community contributors and the core team. Thanks, everyone! Upgrade with one command. npx upgrade-emdash@latest The full release notes are on the blog. emdashcms.com/blog/emdash-...

Pages on Cloudflare D1 make fewer database round trips. New sites from our templates send reads issued together in one round trip. Existing sites can turn on the experimental option with one line.

The admin speaks Croatian now, and Polish, French and German are complete. Every date and time in the admin also follows its language, right to left included.

Editing on the page now works like the admin editor. Select text for the same toolbar, or type / for grouped blocks with Markdown shortcuts. Type /image to pick from your Media Library.

A new switch in the SEO settings asks AI crawlers like GPTBot and ClaudeBot not to train on your site. EmDash adds the rules to robots.txt, and search engines are unaffected.

Revision history is finally readable. Pick a version and it opens in the editor, with each person's changes marked in their color and listed in plain words. Restore sits in a bar at the bottom.

Open plugin registries have a hard problem: anyone can publish, but not everything should be discoverable. Here's how EmDash uses the new Cloudflare Clef model in an Atproto labeler to screen every listing without giving up open publishing

The admin speaks more languages. European Portuguese and Hebrew are new, with right-to-left support, and Thai, German, Catalan and Traditional Chinese are now complete.

Long collections now have numbered pages. Lists open with 20 entries, and you can switch to 50 or 100, jump to any page and keep your selection as you go.

Moving to a new domain? Change it in Settings. EmDash checks the new address first, then updates email links, sitemaps and SEO links, and helps your team sign back in.

We redesigned the editor. It feels like editing a page now, with a toolbar that stays in view, a handle on every block and a slash menu that knows Markdown.

Type /video to add a video from the Media Library, or drop one straight into the text. Your site plays it in the browser's own player, Safari and iOS included.
