Latest Features

We are constantly developing and improving Church:/Advance. We have spent a lot of time thinking about work-flow and user experience and are constantly tweaking the software to make it easier and quicker to use.

Please note that all Church:/Advance customers will have already been upgraded to the latest version 1.0.4.

Features Added in version 1.0.4

Released 3^rd September 2008

Sitemap Draft Count

If your site is maintained by more than one person it can be hard to keep track of revisions that are waiting to be published. Now when looking at pages on the site map a small number will be shown next to each page that has draft revisions that have not been published. This allows the site publisher to see at a glance any pages that are needing to be followed and published.

Archives

You can now access all your archives. This allows you to view an old version of a page and even restore the page back as a draft allowing you to make changes and even publish to the site.

Meatadata

The new metadata editing capabilities allow you to add standard metadata to every page on the site, these include the Title, Keywords and Description fields. Adding metadata will help increase your sites visibility on search engines like Google.

HTML Tools

You can now insert the following HTML elements when editing pages: DIV, SPAN and Paragraphs.
