Contentful’s Closest Preview App adds configurable preview field IDs

The Closest Preview app now supports configurable preview field IDs, making it easier to use with content models that do not rely on a slug field. Teams can now choose one or more short text field IDs, such as URL, to identify previewable page entries.

In this release, we have also improved the setup experience by scoping preview field options to the selected content types, deduplicating shared field IDs, and restoring automatic exclusion of page-level content types from sidebar assignment.

Key enhancements:

  • Configurable preview field IDs.
  • Support for URL and other short text field IDs.
  • Scoped and deduplicated preview field picker.
  • Restored exclusion of page-level content types from sidebar assignment.
  • Configuration UI stability improvements.
