Wix Studio News
Filter and export your Premium subscriptions
The Premium Subscriptions page has a new look, with brand new advanced filters and export options to help you navigate subscriptions across all your sites.
You can now filter subscriptions by their type, payment dates, status and more—so you can find the subscriptions you’re looking for faster, and export the filtered data as a CSV file. You can also view each subscription’s status and any upcoming payments at a glance.
Get certified as a Wix Studio Developer
You can now validate your Studio Developer status with a certification. Pass an exam and submit a project that meets our criteria to receive an official badge and e-certificate.
Set items within a repeater as sticky
You asked, we listened. You can now set items within a repeater as sticky, so you can easily create scroll-stopping layouts with sticky cards—and even connect them to CMS data.
When you set a repeater item as sticky, it sticks to the page as visitors scroll up and down. You can make it stick to the top or bottom of the viewport, or both, and also choose the offset, which is the distance from the top or bottom.
New: a dynamic page for managing CMS content
This week, we introduced the Manage Item page - a new type of dynamic page for managing CMS content.
When you add a Manage Item page, it connects to your chosen CMS collection and lets you give site contributors or members access to manage and edit collection items directly from the page on the site. They can manage content in specific collections without needing to access the site dashboard.
Changes on the page are reflected in the collection and anywhere the content appears on the live site.
Note: this feature is available in the Studio Editor only.
