Great news for CloudCannon users with publishing workflows: as of our latest update, your newly branched sites will be editable considerably faster than before, meaning your team can get to work on content updates even sooner.

Here’s how quickly our own site (with hundreds of pages, posts, and assets) can be branched and fully editable, to show just how fast it is:

We’ve achieved these speed gains by copying your most recent successful build from your parent branch, even before your new branch's build has completed.

If you’re not already familiar with the branching process, check it out! It essentially creates a copy of your site where you can update and preview your new content (and pass it around your team for wider approval), before publishing your changes to your production site.

You can try out publishing workflows and Projects — groups of connected, branched sites — in your CloudCannon account by signing up for a free Team plan trial. (If you have an existing account and you’d like to try it out, feel free to reach out to us in Support for a free trial upgrade!)

If you’re already on a Team plan, great! You’ll find that your next branch will be editable even faster than ever.
