Terminology and Look & Feel

Web Client and Client Tools received an updated, bringing them closer together. On top we standardized to OASIS DITA terminology for our object types.

  • Terminology in the product now adheres to DITA terminology. Since the user base of SDL LiveContent Architect is predominantly relying on the OASIS DITA standard we have adapted all user interface(s) to show the OASIS DITA terminology. We used the following mapping:

  • In our Web Client we introduced a navigation frame and made the styling consistent with the SDL UX style guide (Carbon 2.0). You will recognize this across all SDL products where it will provide a consistent UI design and branding. A new slide-out navigation pane was added were all SDL products in use will appear in navigation groups with navigation entries inside of them. This slide-out navigation pane will be used to approach the SDL product of your need.
  • Client Tools styling is now also consistent with the SDL UX style guide (Carbon 2.0). You will recognize the same styling from the web client. We've altered icons, the layout of the tree and list views.
