Other deprecated functionality in Content Manager

This topic lists miscellaneous Content Manager functionality deprecated in this release of Tridion Sites.

Safeguard feature

As of February 2019 , the Safeguard feature is deprecated. By default, Safeguard has been removed from your environment. If you want to continue using Safeguard regardless, contact RWS Customer Support asking to reinstate the feature.

SpellChecker feature

As of December 2016 , the SpellChecker feature, which allows you to spell-check the textual content of your content items, has been deprecated.

Templating method RenderComponentField()

The use of the RenderComponentField() method has been deprecated in favor of the FieldStartMarker and FieldEndMarker tags (to delimit a field), the FieldValueStartMarker and FieldValueEndMarker tags (to delimit a value in a field), and the GetFieldValue() method (to get a specific field value).

Avoid unmanaged binaries
The TOM.NET API has the possibility of rendering and publishing a binary resource without specifying a related Multimedia Component (either by omitting the parameter or explicitly setting it to null). RWS strongly recommends against this practice.
