We have shipped a couple of updates to the dashboard to improve the content editing experience.
AI text generation context
We have included new options to reference other Object metafields in AI text generation. In the Object form, the generate text modal now includes the ability to select from multiple Metafields on your Object for reference. This makes it easier to create summaries, SEO descriptions, and other actions that require Object data context.

Data loss prevention
We have fixed data loss risks on Objects. Before, it was possible to update your Metafields and navigate to a new page or close the browser tab and lose your changes.
Now if you have unsaved data and try to navigate away from the page, a pop-up message is triggered, asking if you want to leave without saving the changes.

We have a few quality of life improvements to the dashboard to share:
New features
Bucket Import append option
You can now append data into your Bucket using a new Import Mode option. Instead of replacing all data and media in your Bucket, it will append to the existing data. Note: It will not import Object types with existing Object type slugs.

Bucket export media option
You now have the option to include / exclude media from your export.

Go to Your Project > Settings > Import / Export to see the new feature.
API Keys
It's common practice to add environment variables to a
.env
file. We've made this process easier with a single click from the API keys page. It looks like this:
COSMIC_BUCKET_SLUG=your_bucket_slug
COSMIC_READ_KEY=your_read_key
COSMIC_WRITE_KEY=your_write_key
Go to Your Project > API keys to see the new feature.
Improvements
Object Metafield list
We've removed the external link icon and disabled opening the link in a new window.
Fixes
Object thumbnail
We've had reports of issues saving objects when the thumbnail has been removed, or edited in the media library. This issue has been fixed.
Draft only permission
There was an update made that enabled users with draft status only enabled to be able to get around this and set scheduled publish. This has been fixed.

We have improved the search experience in the dashboard with contextual search. With this update, you can now search resources in relation to where you are in the dashboard (specifically the Objects and media table).
How it works
Go to the Object table or media page in the dashboard and find the new search input.
CleanShot 2024-06-10 at 15
Search Objects by title.
CleanShot 2024-06-10 at 15
Search Media by title.

We hope you enjoy using the new contextual search to help you find what you are looking for in the dashboard faster.
You can now update the title of your media in the Cosmic dashboard. This is handy if you upload a file that has an obscure file name and you want to change it to something that's more descriptive, making it easier to find.
How to update a media title
In your project, on any media metafield find and click the file title link.
CleanShot 2024-06-07 at 10
This will take you to the media library where you can click on the file title on the top of the modal to edit the media title.
CleanShot 2024-06-07 at 10
By changing the title to something more description, you can find your media faster and easier when doing media search.

Note: This value corresponds with the
original_name
in the API. See the media section in the Cosmic docs for more information.
