Advanced Task Manager Gets a Big Update for Optimizely CMS

Optimizely's content approval workflow works well when you are approving one item at a time. The problem starts when you are managing a large queue across pages, blocks, and media. Once the list grows, finding the right items, approving them in bulk, or publishing them in a controlled way becomes much more time-consuming than it should be.

Optimizely DXP: Every Supported Culture, One Searchable Page

Quick one for anyone building multi-language sites on Optimizely DXP. I put together a reference tool listing all 806 supported cultures. More usefully, it shows which ones actually work with Azure Translator's 1-click auto-translate, and which get full NLP treatment (stemming, tokenization, decompounding) from Optimizely Graph.

If you've ever added a new market and then spent twenty minutes digging through docs to figure out whether editors will get auto-translate for that locale, or whether search will actually work well in that language, this is for that exact moment. Search or filter by culture name or code, grab the exact culture code you need for config, and see right away which capabilities you're getting.

806 cultures. 33 with Azure Translator support. Full Graph NLP coverage mapped out. All in one table.

How to Allow AI Bots in Your robots.txt File (2025 Edition)

The world of AI is moving fast and so are the bots that crawl the web to feed large language models (LLMs), AI search engines, and generative tools. If you want your site’s content to be available for AI models like ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, or Gemini, you can explicitly grant permission by updating your robots.txt file.

How to Preview Unpublished Content on the Frontend in Optimizely CMS 12

Introduction

In my previous post, I explained how to customize the ContentArea rendering pipeline in Optimizely CMS 12 so editors can see unpublished block content while previewing pages in the CMS.

That approach works great inside the CMS UI (Edit/Preview mode). But what if you want to enable the same functionality on the front-end site, using a simple query string flag?

That’s where the ?showdrafts=true parameter comes in.
