Using Publish? You Need To Migrate to Pages!
Public News | 4 May 2022
Depending on when you started using Claromentis and the site version you began on, this notice may not apply to you.
⚠️ If your site has the Publish application still available, please read on and take necessary action.
If your site has never used Publish or you have already migrated your content to Pages, no further action is required.
Publish will be deprecated in Claromentis version 9
Publish was our web page creation tool for older versions of Claromentis, and was replaced as the primary content management system in version 8.1+ by Pages, our robust and intuitive drag & drop page builder.
At this point, content creation will have begun in Pages and continued over time, with older content still available in Publish if required.
This means some intranet sites may have Publish content still in use alongside those created in Pages, which will now be affected by the changes introduced in Claromentis 9.

Next steps – create new Pages to emulate those in Publish
To get ready for upgrading to Claromentis 9, you will need to recreate your existing Publish content in Pages. This process is completely manual, and your team will need to create new pages that emulate your existing Publish content using the Pages drag & drop features.
You'll notice that the new pages will look slightly different. This is because Pages use components whereas Publish used custom CSS.
As detailed in the FAQs, the Claromentis team can help recreate the content for you. If you have internal teams with permissions to both Publish and Pages, you can get started on recreating content straight away.
The end goal is to ensure every Publish element you wish to keep has been represented in Pages instead, at which point your site can be upgraded to Claromentis version 9 (and all Publish data will be removed).
We've created some handy Pages guides that will help your team recreate content, check them out below:

What if I'm not ready to upgrade to Claromentis 9 yet?
We’re committed to supporting Claromentis 8 – which includes Publish – for two years after its release. The last feature version of Claromentis 8 was released in 2021, meaning that Publish will be supported until at least 2023. This will include security updates.
