Released December 2025
Improved Article Editor
Article Editor, introduced with vjoon K4 16.1, provides several new features that further improve its performance in everyday work. For example, loading and saving times for articles with lots of text objects have been reduced. This saves editors as well as content writers a considerable amount of time and improves the overall user experience.
Another optimization concerns the automatic updating of the layout preview. If the user does not enter anything for a few seconds, the preview is now updated automatically. Of course, the update can still be triggered manually using a keyboard shortcut. However, the automatic update of the layout preview can also be completely deactivated if desired.
Content Editor now available as part of the redesigned K4 Content Portal
Like Article Editor, Content Editor now also offers a help system that is available in the browser window of the K4 Content Portal. This help system describes all the functions that users may apply to create their amazing content stories.
Contrary to older versions, any placed images or objects are updated automatically in the background, as soon as new versions become available in the system
Released March/July 2025
All new Article Editor
With version 16, customers can look forward to a new and modern browser-based editor in the K4 Content Portal. While the Content Editor is primarily used for Content- and Online-First, the new “Article Editor” is aimed at layout-driven content, such as that created with Adobe InDesign and which was previously also edited with the familiar Web Editor.
With its fresh look, streamlined design and modern interface, the Article Editor offers a completely new user experience. In addition to its enormous expansion potential, it will already offer everything that a next-generation editor should be able to do.
The article editor was already available as a preview version in version 16.0 – interested customers could get a first impression and provide feedback on user-friendliness.
Starting with version 16.1, the new Article Editor can be used in production, replacing the older Web Editor.
Support for Adobe Creative Cloud 2025
With version 16, the globally successful publishing system vjoon K4 supports Adobe Creative Cloud 2025 unveiled at the last Adobe MAX, enabling customers to benefit immediately from the new AI features in Adobe InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator. Together with this integration, enhancements at various levels of the system ensure that customers can continue to manage their content supply chain efficiently in the future.
