API Management

You can now create and manage multiple API keys for each OpenCities site. This will help improve security and allow you to have more granular control over the permissions for each key.

Change Log Generator

Introducing our first feature with supportive AI technology, content authors can now use the Change Log Generator to let AI write their page comments upon publishing a new page version. The AI will compare and log changes made between page versions, allowing for greater content governance for you and your content authors.

If you are interested in trying this feature, please submit a support ticket and we'll be in touch with the next steps.
