Our 2026 roadmap is designed to accelerate content authoring, deliver tangible AI results for operations, and ensure a rock-solid, scalable platform for your growing needs. Join VP of Product Freddy Montes as he walks through the exciting things dotCMS is bringing to market in 2026.
Reimagined Content Authoring
We are transforming the authoring experience to be faster and more intuitive with tools that simplify how creators manage and build content.
Production-Ready Content Drive: A unified, intelligent workspace that brings folders, files, and content together, allowing for visual navigation and drag-and-drop organization.
Enhanced Universal Visual Editor: Features new canvas capabilities like zoom controls and in-context editing, enabling creators to adjust layouts and see real-time changes without leaving the page.
Modernized Custom Field API: A framework-agnostic API using vanilla JavaScript and CSS that simplifies extending the CMS and offers better AI assistance for developers.
Editorial Calendar: Provides a single view to plan and schedule content across all sites and channels, ensuring organizational visibility into what is published and when.
AI-Powered Intelligence and Governance
Our AI strategy focuses on flexibility and control, moving beyond simple integration to provide a real differentiator for content operations.
Multi-Provider AI Support: Avoids vendor lock-in by allowing connections to any provider, including Amazon Bedrock, Google Vertex, Microsoft Azure, or your own enterprise-approved service.
Brand and Voice Governance: Allows you to configure brand voice guidelines once and to automatically ensure AI-generated content matches your specific tone, terminology, and style.
Industry Compliance Checkers: Built-in validation tools provide real-time feedback to ensure content meets regulatory requirements such as GDPR, HIPAA, and any accessibility standards before it is published.
Enterprise-Grade Scale and Analytics
To support mission-critical operations, we are providing the infrastructure and data insights necessary to prove the business impact of your content.
Multi-Region Support: Ensures true disaster recovery by keeping the platform operational even if an entire region goes down.
Embedded CMS Analytics: Tracks performance metrics like page views and engagement directly within the CMS, eliminating the need to switch between different tools.
Conversion Attribution and Heatmaps: Measures the actual business impact and ROI by identifying which content drives revenue and providing visual insights into how users interact with pages.
Content Operation Dashboard: A single view for teams to see assigned tasks, workflow statuses, and items requiring immediate attention, providing complete operational visibility.
Our goal for the end of the year
A fully connected, AI-powered content platform that streamlines workflows and provides the operational visibility needed for modern enterprise content teams.
