Spell check tool

What are content managers using as a spell check tool for text fields? Are there any custom widgets / features that can be applied to specific CS fields (ie, headline/body/instructions) for spell check, instead of relying on a browser extension that scans the entire page?

Best way to manage URL case sensitivity

Best way to manage URL case sensitivity? We are building a site where we want all URLs to be case insensitive. On the code side, we are using NextJS with middleware which redirects all router requests to a lowercase URLimport { NextResponse } from 'next/server';const Middleware = (req) => { if (req.nextUrl.pathname === req.nextUrl.pathname.toLowerCase()) return NextResponse.next(); return NextResponse.redirect(new URL(req.nextUrl.origin + req.nextUrl.pathname.toLowerCase()));};export default Middleware;Using the JavaScript SDK, we are getting Entries from ContentStack with a URL query getEntryByUrl(contentTypeUid, entryUrl, referenceFieldPath) { return new Promise((resolve, reject) => { const query = Stack.ContentType(contentTypeUid).Query(); if (referenceFieldPath) query.includeReference(referenceFieldPath); const data = query.where('url', `${entryUrl}`).toJSON().find(); data.then( (result) => { resolve(result[0]); }, (

Access denied when using Branches

Hi there, I am using branches for a new piece of functionality. As far as my understanding goes, I create a branch in contentstack. This allows me to control the content side of things independantly from another branch.If I want to test the front end differences out, I create an alias pointing towards my branch. Then, I take that alias, and I put it in the Contentstack.Stack SDK interface like so: const Stack = contentstack.Stack({ api_key: process.env.CONTENTSTACK_API_KEY, delivery_token: process.env.CONTENTSTACK_DELIVERY_TOKEN, environment: process.env.CONTENTSTACK_ENVIRONMENT, region: process.env.CONTENTSTACK_REGION ? process.env.CONTENTSTACK_REGION : 'us', branch: 'testalias'});Where testalias is the name of the alias I created. I am now getting an Access Denied error when trying to visit a page that is published on that branch. Any advice? Error: {"error_message":"Access denied. You have insufficient permissions to perform operation on this branch 'testalias'.","error_code":9

Understanding branches

Hi there, my goal is to understand better the “Branches” functionality that CS has available. I am struggling to understand a few concepts after reading the documentation. This link here has the following: The development branch will now have a copy of all the content from the main branch (production). With this development branch, the developers can modify the structure, add new changes, iterate, and publish in a testing environment to preview the recent changes. What is unclear to me, is how the developer actually previews changes. I have created a branch off of main: “development”. Inside this development branch, I want to update an entry (this entry already exists because it came from main). I make my updates, and then I go to publish to the development environment. From my understanding, however, publishing to an environment seems useless unless you are using an alias. Unless you add the alias to the contentstack.Stack() sdk, you will always get the main branch’s content. Is my

Single References Entity

When in content stack I setup a single reference in a Content Type to another Content Type that is coming back from the API as an array. Simple example: I have a Content Type called Dog, which has a single reference to an Owner (another Content Type). When I retrieve a dog from the api (/dog/entries?environment=nonprod&locale=en-us&include[]=owner&include_branch=false) I get back a response where owner is an array (this doesn’t make sense to me). Even though in the Content Type settings I can set the reference to 1 or many and have set it to 1. I am wondering if I’m doing something wrong or if this is expected behavior.

Are field validations possible in Contentstack?

Can we perform some form of validation of the Content Fields to restrict Content Editors from making incorrect entries? e.g Max number of characters allowed for a field, restrict special characters in a Name field or validate an email or phone number entry. Any help will be much appreciated, Thanks.

If I assign the Content Manager role to a user but want to limit them from editing SEO fields is that possible?

If I assign the Content Manager role to a user but want to limit them from editing SEO fields is that possible? Or is this not a possibility because of the way the Content Manager Role is configured as it overrides any conditional limitations?

When migrating content that has files attached, is it standard to leverage CS Assets or better to use a 3rd party such as S3?

We are in a scenario where we need to migrate a lot of content, all of which has a PDF attached. Should we use an S3 bucket for this, or is uploading all these assets to ContentStack considered standard?

Best way to fetch referenced entities inside an entry with JavaScript SDK

Referenced entities only return the UID of their Content Type by default. the SDK’s Stack.Entry has an includeReference() method, but you must provide it with the UIDs of referenced entities. For dynamic cases, what is the most elegant way to return referenced entity data using the JavaScript SDK?
