Unlock DAM features

Repurpose content from your digital archive and generate additional profit by reusing well-performing stories.
If an asset managed in seven may no longer be used due to image rights or licenses, the users in vjoon K4 are also informed.
Because seven assets used in layouts are simply referenced via real URLs, you never have to bother about mounting file or cloud servers again.
And if you’re working on a cloud-based or external network with low-bandwidth VPN, seven’s “QuickLoad” feature is perfect to use preview images with high quality but small file size.

Precise layout-driven content

With vjoon K4, you will always be able to create beautiful layout-driven content. Whether you’re a design professional or content creator, K4’s editors have been built to streamline and accelerate your workflows, setting new standards for a user-friendly and powerful content management experience. The precise and always up-to-date layout preview takes the guesswork out of content editing, because you always know what your article will look like.

Of course, you have all predefined styles at your disposal and can also freely define font formats, insert symbols, characters, hyphens, dashes, white space, breaks and so much more.

And regardless of whether you work with layout templates or your designers create freely, changes to the layout will happen – for this reason, K4 ensures that you are informed immediately about new layout versions and can adapt the text if necessary. Of course, any overset will be displayed immediately as well and you can intervene before the article is routed for publication.

Flexible media-neutral content

You just want to get started with a story without knowing whether it’s for online, print or both? That’s no problem at all, with vjoon K4 you enjoy unlimited freedom and don’t have to worry about it for now. Let your thoughts run free, the text length doesn’t matter, add as many images and videos as you like, design your text as you would with a Web CMS editor. The only limits are set by your imagination ... and perhaps the editor-in-chief.

And speaking of Web CMS – thanks to the optional integration with WordPress, you can not only display a preview using the desired responsive design, but also publish your article online automatically. At the same time, you benefit from the typical advantages of a professional editorial system, such as versioning, structured content, inline notes, workflows for revision and approval, as well as the option of publishing your brilliant content in print later on.

Tight integration with Adobe

Professional print layouts are created with Adobe InDesign. Along with the capabilities of generative AI, there are no limits to your creativity. However, it is the integration with a publishing system such as K4 that turns it into an ideal tool for teams to optimize costs and time. Essentially, it is about separating layout and text. The browser-based editors in K4 provide content writers in particular with an excellent alternative to InCopy. And the best thing is that they can always keep an eye on the fit of their text in the layout and any layout changes.

But it’s not just the simultaneous work on text and layout, this integration is based on over 25 years of experience in the real world and impresses with so many additional features. Starting with predefined workflows, version control and language variants, and leading up to configurable query panels. Those are effectively your inbox for all current projects. With individual filters and queries, you can find all relevant content here, such as articles, images, multimedia elements and entire layout sections. Using inline notes, sticky notes and version notes, you can exchange information with your team members and make suggestions or change requests. And there’s so much more to discover about how you can use K4 to boost your Adobe-based creative workflows.
