June 21st - 2025 release notes: New features are live

Scheduled Maintenance Update

We’re thrilled to announce Magnity’s latest release—packed with three powerful crawl modes, smarter translation options, bulk-image controls, PDF previews, and a host of UI and stability fixes.

🚀 Three New Crawl Features (with Automatic Local-Variant Detection)

Magnity now automatically looks for local-language variants of every URL in your sitemaps, using backend-configured URL patterns (e.g. /{countrycode}/, .dk, etc.) and imports any that conform. On top of this continuous variant detection, we’ve introduced three crawl modes:

Automated Sitemap Change Detection

Every six hours (four times a day), Magnity re-crawls each market’s sitemap, compares each page’s <lastmod> timestamp to its stored “last update,” and automatically refreshes any changed pages, resetting their content tiles and update timestamps for you.

Folder-Level New Content Monitoring

You define one or more site folders to monitor (for example, /learn/). Magnity scans your sitemap for URLs under those paths that aren’t yet in your content library, imports them automatically, including all local-language variants—and keeps them up to date.

Manual URL Crawl with Local-Variant Discovery

When you manually add a URL to trigger a crawl (as before), you’ll now see an “Include all local variants” checkbox. Selecting it causes Magnity to detect, crawl, and import that URL and every matching regional variant in one operation.

🔍 Crawl Job Visibility

Head to the burger menu and select Crawler to view all job statuses, both automatic and manual. Each entry shows which URLs were found, which were missing, and any errors encountered, so you can confirm every crawl’s success. There is a lot of detail in there, including what URL variations it has tried to crawl based on our back end rules.

To make sure we set this up best for you, reach out to me or Jan and we will help you pick folders to monitor and identify if you have a URL structure that enables automatic geomapping. Also we will help you set up the rules for how to crawl your content.

Before you can make use of the new features, we will have to configure your account and markets accordingly. This will happen over the next few days. PLEASE STAND BY and we will let you know once it is operational for you.

We can add sitemaps, image inclusion patterns and exclusion patterns, content folder logic between markets and much more. We have not made that available in the front end on purpose, so you dont break the functionality by accident, but reach out and we can collaborate on setting it up.

🖼️ Additional Content & Translation Enhancements

Bulk Image Updates: Replace an image in any module and tick “Apply to all variants” to swap that image across every personalization and translation variant. ideal for post-translation edits.

New Translation Strategy Dropdown: Choose from multiple strategies in one place. We’ve added “Localize if available,” which uses URL-based translation when a local page exists and URL-less translation otherwise. This replaces the old translation modal window and hopefully feels a lot more user frirendly. More strategies (like “Copy/Paste”) are on the way.

After having translated you can hold your mouse over each of the default variant modules to identify if they have been translated with out without URL. We want to make this little feature more valuable as it was a last minute addition and thus the hover over on personalized modules will be added later.

PDF Upload Preview: View a visual preview of any PDF in the upload modal before adding it to your library, so you can confirm you’ve selected the right document. (Full PDF text editing remains unsupported.) This helps you verify that a PDF is actually the one you are addint. Know issue: Our current scraper seems to to scrape to few images off of PDFs, we are working on fixing that.

🐛 Bug Fixes & UI Tweaks

Fixed the need to re-click the text element after inserting HTML bullets in the editor.

Resolved chat window overflow beneath the bottom border.

Persona bar no longer blocks the top-left burger menu when the content library is collapsed.

Various smaller interface glitches have been smoothed out for a more stable experience.

🎯 Why This Matters

By automating update detection, new-page discovery, and manual crawls—plus giving you bulk-image controls and smarter translation options—this release slashes the hours spent on manual monitoring and post-translation edits. You’ll always have the most current content, across all languages, with minimal effort.
