I’m thrilled to share that eBuilderCMS 3.3 is now here. This release is built to address the needs of modern content teams: secure authentication that works seamlessly with existing Microsoft 365 environments, real-time content review and approvals with Live Preview, and a robust foundation powered by ASP.NET 9 for unmatched scalability and reliability. Whether you’re managing sensitive corporate sites or high-traffic public portals, eBuilderCMS 3.3 gives you the tools to deliver faster, collaborate better, and protect your content with enterprise-grade security.

Built on ASP.NET 9: Next-Level Performance

With eBuilderCMS 3.3, we’ve harnessed the full power of ASP.NET 9 to deliver:

• Optimized Request Processing: The latest Just-In-Time (JIT) compiler and runtime improvements reduce CPU overhead by up to 30%, so even complex pages render in milliseconds.
• Advanced Memory Management: Generational garbage-collection enhancements free unused memory more efficiently, preventing pauses under heavy editorial workflows and ensuring stable performance 24/7.
• Seamless Scalability: Native support for horizontal scaling in Kubernetes and Azure App Services means you can elastically provision resources as traffic peaks—without any manual configuration.
  
  

Microsoft Entra ID Integration: Secure, Streamlined Access

Single Sign-On (SSO) is no longer a luxury—it’s a baseline expectation. In the Gulf region, over 85% of enterprises rely on Microsoft 365 for corporate email and collaboration. By integrating Microsoft Entra ID directly into eBuilderCMS 3.3, you get:

• One-Click Microsoft 365 Authentication: Leverage your existing Azure AD users and groups—no need to manage separate CMS credentials.
• Conditional Access & MFA: Enforce location-based policies, device compliance checks, or multi-factor authentication seamlessly, aligning your CMS security posture with corporate IT standards.
• Centralized User Management: Provision or revoke CMS access the moment an employee joins or leaves your organization—no more manual account audits.

This deep Entra ID integration not only reduces login friction but also tightens security: one set of credentials, one audit trail, and one dashboard for user-lifecycle management.

Live Preview: Your Drafts, Your Way

Content creators have long waited for a way to confidently share in-progress updates without publishing them live. Live Preview in eBuilderCMS 3.3 makes this possible:

1. Generate a Private Preview Link: Editors publish draft pages to a secure, non-indexed URL.
2. Share with Stakeholders: Send the link to your CEO, marketing director, or compliance officer for real-time feedback—no login required.
3. Collaborate & Iterate: Reviewers see the page exactly as it will appear on the live site, complete with styling, navigation, and dynamic content.

Real-World Scenario

Imagine you’ve just updated your page banner with a new campaign slogan. Before going live, you need executive sign-off. With Live Preview, you:

1. Upload the draft banner with text.
2. Click “Preview,” generating a secure URL.
3. Email the link to your CEO with a note: “See how the new message displays before we publish.”
4. Receive feedback within minutes—and go live with confidence.
