We’re excited to introduce Kajoo Release 119, featuring major enhancements to our Sitecore integration, a revamped Sites section, and key bug fixes. This update strengthens Kajoo’s ability to support enterprise-grade CMS workflows and enables teams to deploy, manage, and collaborate on Sitecore-based projects more efficiently than ever before.

Let’s dive into the details!

✅ What’s New

🔗 Enhanced Sitecore Integration

Kajoo now offers upgraded and future-ready support for Sitecore XP, XM, and XM Cloud environments. This update includes a brand-new version of the Kajoo Sitecore Plugin, core infrastructure improvements, and better performance during integration and deployment.

Highlights:

• Easier & fast setup
  Now you can integrate your Sitecore instance with Kajoo in a few simple steps and get started much faster than before.
• Improved integration and deployment stability
  Faster communication between Kajoo and Sitecore instances, fewer integration errors, and solid deployment process with proper traceability and logs.
• Upgraded infrastructure compatibility
  Supports on-prem, PaaS, and cloud-native Sitecore instances with improved reliability.
• Foundation for future feature expansions
  Prepares Kajoo to support multiple DX platforms like Optimizely, Adobe AEM, and other headless CMSs .

To get started, visit the Sitecore Integration section in Kajoo and follow the new setup flow. A full setup guide is available in the updated Sitecore documentation.

🏗️ Introducing the Sites Section

The newly enhanced Sites section allows you to create and manage full-fledged projects with direct Sitecore integrations. It acts as a central workspace where you can connect source code, configure builds, and deploy across multiple environments.

Core Capabilities:

• Create Sites with Sitecore integration
  Simply choose your Sitecore instance and provide the correct JSS Site Name to sync Kajoo with your CMS.
• Environment management
  Isolate and configure environments like Development, Staging, and Production with separate settings and URLs.
• Git integration
  Connect your GitHub or Azure DevOps repo to manage automated code check-ins and build workflows.
• Build and deploy controls
  Customize Node.js versions, output paths, build commands, and Sitecore-specific directories for layout and manifest files.
• Team collaboration
  Share Sites with team members to collaboratively configure, deploy, and manage every aspect of your project.

Kajoo Sites streamline the development lifecycle, providing a complete system for managing Sitecore-connected web applications from code to deployment.

⚙️ Streamlined Site Setup & Configuration

Once your Site is created, you can manage it from a unified section:

• General Settings: Rename, share access, and define your project scope.
• Repo Integration: Connect to your source control to enable automatic code generation and deployments.
• Build & Deploy: Define framework settings, commands, and paths.
• Environments: Manage isolated deployments and preview URLs for each stage.
• Environment Variables: Inject environment-specific key-value pairs during builds — each key must be unique within its environment.

The Sites section brings transparency and control to every aspect of your Kajoo-Sitecore integration. Learn more about it in the Sites documentation.

🐞 Bug Fixes

1. Button and Link Element Text Not Visible in Experience Editor (KAJOO-4233)

Issue:

Text in Button and Link elements didn’t appear in the Experience Editor when only the text field (and not href) was bound using the Content Type Builder.

Fix:

Text now displays correctly, even when href is not bound. You can safely bind just the text field.

2. Import Fails in Convert Site to Jamstack Migration Wizard (KAJOO-4256)

Issue:

In the project, importing content from a URL failed during site conversion via the Jamstack migration wizard.

Fix:

The issue has been resolved. Imports via URL now succeed without errors.

3. Canvas Scroll Stops Working After Resizing (KAJOO-4273)

Issue:

After resizing the canvas and using the mouse wheel or mouse pad, the scroll functionality was not working properly. Zooming restored scroll, but resizing broke it again.

Fix:

Canvas now scrolls correctly after resizing, ensuring smooth navigation during design.

4. Code Generation Was Not Working Properly (KAJOO-4298)

Issue:

Some projects were failing to generate code, blocking development workflows.

Fix:

Code generation is now stable and working as expected across all supported project types.

We hope Kajoo Release 119 makes your Sitecore development experience faster, more collaborative, and easier to manage. As always, your feedback helps shape future improvements.
