Optimizely CMS - Open in New Tab

About

Streamline Your Optimizely CMS Workflow

Compatible with Optimizely PaaS 12 CMS, SaaS CMS

This extension enhances productivity for developers and content managers working with modern Optimizely CMS platforms and legacy Episerver installations by adding convenient "Open in New Tab" functionality to published page links.

Platform Compatibility:
Optimizely PaaS 12 CMS - Full compatibility with latest platform features
Optimizely SaaS CMS - Seamless integration with cloud-hosted instances
Optimizely PaaS 11 CMS and earlier - Untested, but should support previous versions of Episerver

Key Benefits:
Preview published pages without losing your CMS position
Seamless workflow for content review and testing across all platform versions
Automatically detects and enhances Optimizely/Episerver CMS interfaces
Privacy-first architecture with user-controlled permissions per domain

How It Works:
The extension automatically detects "View on website" links in your Optimizely or Episerver CMS interface and adds corresponding "(New Tab)" versions. Simply enable the extension for your CMS domain, then click the new tab links to preview content whilst maintaining your current CMS session.

Technical Features:
Universal CMS Detection - Works with /ui/cms and /episerver/cms URL patterns
Memory-efficient DOM observation with automatic cleanup prevents performance issues
Multi-domain support - Enable per-site for agency workflows managing multiple clients
Enterprise-ready architecture - Built for professional CMS environments
Protocol flexibility - Supports both HTTP and HTTPS across all CMS versions

Perfect for:
Digital agencies managing multiple client sites across different CMS versions
Content managers reviewing published content on Optimizely PaaS 12 and SaaS platforms
Developers testing functionality across Optimizely/Episerver environments
Enterprise teams requiring efficient workflows with legacy system support

Privacy & Security:
This extension employs a permission-per-domain model - you explicitly choose which CMS sites can use the extension. No blanket site access required. No data is collected, stored, or transmitted - it simply enhances your existing CMS interface through local DOM manipulation.
