We have just released Timeline, a new Contentful scheduling and previewing capability that allows editors to create, stage, and preview multiple upcoming versions of the same digital experience. Timeline supports evolving content, enabling teams to manage and preview several overlapping campaigns such as Black Friday and Cyber Monday in parallel.

How does it work?

Timeline introduces a new versioning model for entries, allowing each entry to contain multiple scheduled states linked to specific releases. Teams can assign content updates, including assets, to future time points, preview the full page as it will look on a specific date, and share those views for feedback via the preview link.

GraphQL API users

With this release, we have also introduced a new directive, @timeline, into the GraphQL schema. This is not a breaking change but if your internal tooling expects a certain schema, you may need to review how the changes impact you.

For more details about the feature, see the Timeline section in the help center.
