What will I learn from this video?

In this quick video tour of Wagtail 4.0 and Wagtail update video, we'll walk you through the exciting new features and updates that make this release a game-changer for Wagtail CMS users.

Wagtail CMS users will notice straight away that we have an updated sign-in page for this release, and there have also been some updates to the accessibility features which make life so much easier. But the main new feature that we're super excited about in Wagtail 4.0 is the addition of a preview panel! With this preview panel, you can see your page in different layouts according to different devices, all without leaving the content editing page. You can make changes to content, and the preview will update automatically so you can see what your page looks like in real-time!

We also get a hands-on demo of the new Wagtail StreamField functionality, where all the action happens in content creation as well as our new content blocks, including paragraph and header blocks, rich text and a cool new feature: adding links directly into blocks!

Watch as we get a complete demo of how to create some basic content in Wagtail CMS and get a better understanding of how Wagtail improves content creation for content managers and CMS users!

All this and more in our Wagtail 4.0 update!
