A look back at 2022
Stefano followed tradition by writing a comprehensive review of the year's events. In the article, you can read about the exciting new features we have released and some fundamental changes we have been dreaming about for some time.
Stefano also explains how our revenue has grown by around 70%, and our profit margins remain healthy. There are many other interesting insights in the post for you to get to know us a little better!
Read the articleA convo with Stackbit!
We're starting the year with a very exciting event: January 12, 18pm. Save the date!
Matteo Giaccone and I have been invited by Dan Barack and Tiffany Janzen from Stackbit to discuss the benefits and best practices of headless. We'll see how Stackbit integrates with DatoCMS and how to do a project with the two together.
I'm so excited, really can't wait to see the result! 🤩
Book your seat (it’s free!)API cleanup for newly created projects
We want our APIs to be as clean as possible, but we also do not want to disrupt your work, folks! So, we have decided to apply some changes to the API that will only impact new websites: nothing will change for existing ones or their duplicates.
Read how it worksNew locales filter in tabular view
We made some UI improvements in how locales are presented and managed in the tabular visualisation of a collection, when you have a model with the option "All locales required?" disabled.
We have listened to your feedback and this change should improve the experience for editors; if you need to make some more complex queries on your record list, you can use the new "Locales" advanced filter!
Single Sign-On with Google Workspaces is now available
It is now possible to automatically provision DatoCMS users using your centralised Google Workspace. Group memberships are supported too.
Read all the details on how to configure the integration. Single Sign-On is an enterprise feature: if you're interested in discussing Enterprise Plan, please contact us for more information.
Get in touchPreview mode in Nuxt.js
The Nuxt.js Starter Project has been improved and the real-time preview feature is now working smoothly. You may also want to use the official Web Preview plugin. Indeed, in the doc you'll find an example, adapted for Nuxt.
Try the Starter projectPWA against climate change for Life Terra
A beautiful application — created by De Voorhoede from Netherlands — which shows a map of what the future might be with 500 million donated trees. Each one can even be tagged on a specific location with coordinates, a picture and a description of the tree.
To involve the partners even more, De Voorhoede developed a dashboard where users can log in and manage their own trees.
PS: Climate change as well as social change, matter a lot to us. We support not-for-profit organizations by offering a 50% discount on all plans. Get in touch if you qualify.
New event hooks available on Plugins SDK
On plugins, it is now possible to intercept when the user wants to perform a specific action on one (or multiple) records. This allows you to create new stunning stuff when editors create, update, publish, unpublish or even delete content. Let us know what you'll do with it!

How Next.js Preview Mode Works: An In-depth Guide
In this tutorial, you will learn how to implement Preview Mode in Next.js and how this works through a code walkthrough based on a real example.
"How can you be eight people?"
This is the most frequent question we get, when we talk to our clients (or potential ones). Well, they do have a point.
🚀 What's coming up...
GraphQL Inverse relationships: "will be released by the end of the year!" we said, and yes, we have kept the promise! Let's play a little scavenger hunt before the big official announcement!
Organizations: In product development, the "big thing" that we plan on tackling in the first quarter is the release of Organizations as a way to improve the management of multiple projects owned by different accounts, which is a sensitive topic, especially for agencies.
🙋🏻♂️ That's it for this month!
We really wish you all the best for this holiday season! Stop editing & deploying, and enjoy time with your loved ones! 💖
