Content Stories for content-first articles
To better support content first workflows, vjoon introduced Content Stories for working with articles in Content Editor. Online editors and content creators can now use videos and images as well as posts from social media including YouTube, Instagram, Facebook and Twitter to enrich their stories. vjoon’s Content Editor, which is enhanced with features for comments and track changes, makes it even easier for teams to concentrate exclusively on content creation without the need to decide on a channel. InCopy ICML articles can be converted into Content Stories and vice versa.
Out-of-the-box integration with WordPress
Content Stories can be published using WordPress at the push of a button or via automated tasks in the workflow. Images, videos or social media posts included in the story are also transmitted and appear in the text at the same position as seen in Content Editor. The user can choose how Content Stories are exported to WordPress. Our integration supports publication of content as WordPress Posts, Pages and Custom Post Types, and both Classic and Gutenberg Editors can be used to further edit the Content Story in WordPress. Depending on the configuration, a content story can be reserved exclusively for K4 for editing, using WordPress as a headless CMS. While creating the content story, a preview rendered by WordPress allows the K4 user to verify how the story will look like in WordPress. The new K4 Integration with WordPress is offered via a serviceable WordPress Plug-in, allowing vjoon to maintain and update the Plug-in independently of K4. This integration allows customers to streamline their WordPress maintenance, saving time and money, while allowing vjoon to offer agile updates to the Web CMS integration.
