Check out a demo video here: https://vimeo.com/383278501/ebd95baa0d


Umbraco 9 + 10 are supported in v2.0+, get it on NuGet:

https://www.nuget.org/packages/Perplex.ContentBlocks

This package works on top of NestedContent but provides a more advanced user interface and adds some new features:

  • Disable/hide a block
    • Disabled blocks do not show up in the front-end, but their content is still there in Umbraco
  • Multiple layouts per block
    • Define more than 1 layout and easily switch between them
    • No need to add properties like an "Image on right side" checkbox
  • Preview window showing the front-end of the page
    • This gives content editors a good sense of what they are editing and how the blocks will appear together
    • This uses default Umbraco preview functionality and obviously works with unpublished content as well (if saved)
    • The preview will automatically scroll to the content block that is currently in view in Umbraco
  • Larger block picker that shows a preview / title / description for each block
    • This helps editors to distinguish better between available blocks
    • Pickers show blocks in categories to help organization when available block count is high
