The Compose app is being deprecated. Installations of the app will no longer be available via the Contentful Marketplace, and current installations will be functional and supported until December 2025.

Why Compose is being retired

When we launched Compose in March 2021, we aimed to support content producers with an alternative to navigating the nested content structure provided in the Contentful web app by offering a simplified, single-page editing experience.

However, we realized this approach was not practical enough of a bridge from structured content to its visual representation. We have learned a great deal from Compose and how we can empower content creators with a stronger connection between content and its visual representation.

Continuity with Live Preview and Contentful Studio Experiences

Based on these learnings, we have two additional offerings that solve this problem in differentiated ways: live preview within the web app and our newest product Contentful Studio Experiences.

Live preview supports a side-by-side visual editing experience with a form editor for content on one side and a preview environment to understand how the content will render on the other.

Contentful Studio Experiences enables the assembly of visual layouts in an intuitive drag-and-drop interface supported by the power of structured content for non-technical teams that need the autonomy to produce the visual outputs of their content experiences.

We have great things on the way as a result of what we learned with Compose. We received lots of feedback from users about how much they enjoyed the whole page publishing functionality in Compose, and have migrated this functionality into both live preview and Contentful Studio.

Next steps

We are currently working to migrate the Field Groups feature into the core web app within the next quarter. This feature is currently available via the Preview Center where users can try it out in the web app.

We will continue to support Compose until the end of 2025. Please contact your Customer Success partner if you need additional assistance on this migration.

As always, you can reach out to us at any time with your questions regarding this change. Our support team is here to help.
