New in Craft 5

Authoring experience. Content modeling. Developer experience.
It’s our biggest, most ambitious update ever.

Matrix in Matrix

Matrix is more powerful than ever. Manage nested entries instead of blocks. Use cards, entry lists, or the classic blocks view mode to display complex content clearly.

Field Instances

Reuse custom fields in the same field layout—each with its own name, handle, instructions, and conditions.

Know where you are, and jump elsewhere quickly, with the new breadcrumbs.

Features

Custom Fields

Easily define your content with custom fields.

All of your custom field types are managed centrally in Craft.

New in Craft 5: Custom Fields are automatically organized for you. See where they are used, search them, identify them with an icon, and reuse them.

Live Preview

Immediately see how your content will look, while editing. Get a preview URL to share your work-in-progress with others.

Templating

Templates in Craft are powered by Twig, the elegant templating system from the creators of Symfony.

Relationships

Relate anything-to-anything. Edit the item you’re relating without ever leaving your current context.

Asset Management

Manage assets, and give them custom fields. Store files locally, or with cloud-based storage providers like Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, or Craft Cloud.

Localization

Translate and localize content—from a single field, to your entire project.

User Management

Set detailed permissions for groups or individual users. Allow public user registration with Craft Pro.

Headless

Craft includes a built-in GraphQL API, and a fully-headless mode.
