EditorPowertools is multi-targeted: the same NuGet package supports both Optimizely CMS 12 (.NET 8) and CMS 13 (.NET 10). CMS 13 unlocks the following additional capabilities:
- Content Type Audit — Contract / Section / Element badges, Kind and Composition filters, Contracts summary stat, and an "Applied contracts" detail panel with drill-through to each contract.
- Content Statistics — Contracts summary card and block breakdown (Sections / Elements / Plain blocks).
- Bulk Property Editor — pick a Contract in the type selector to apply changes across every content type implementing it; expansion preview shows which concrete types are affected.
- Content Audit — filter by Contract membership (Include / Exclude / Contracts only) and Composition (Section / Element).
The user-facing term "Orphaned" (content type in DB with no matching .NET class) is renamed to "Code-less" across the UI. See docs/cms13-support.md for details.
dotnet add package UmageAI.Optimizely.EditorPowerTools
In your Startup.cs:
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
// ... other services
services.AddEditorPowertools(options =>
{
// Optional: configure roles with full access (default: WebAdmins, Administrators)
options.AuthorizedRoles = ["WebAdmins", "Administrators"];
// Optional: enable per-tool access control via "Permissions For Functions"
options.CheckPermissionForEachFeature = true;
// Optional: disable specific tools
options.Features.BulkPropertyEditor = false;
});
}
public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app)
{
// ... other middleware
app.UseEditorPowertools();
app.UseEndpoints(endpoints =>
{
endpoints.MapContent();
endpoints.MapEditorPowertools(); // Required: maps SignalR hubs and tool endpoints
});
}Or configure via appsettings.json:
{
"UmageAI": {
"EditorPowerTools": {
"authorizedRoles": ["WebAdmins", "Administrators"],
"checkPermissionForEachFeature": true,
"features": {
"contentTypeAudit": true,
"personalizationUsageAudit": true,
"bulkPropertyEditor": true,
"contentStatistics": true,
"languageAudit": true,
"securityAudit": true,
"visitorGroupTester": true
}
}
}
}Three-layer permission model:
- Feature Toggles - Enable/disable individual tools via configuration
- Role-Based Access -
AuthorizedRolesgrants full access (default: WebAdmins, Administrators) - Permissions For Functions - When
CheckPermissionForEachFeature = true, individual tools can be granted to specific users/roles via the CMS admin UI under "Permissions For Functions"
Several tools require a scheduled job to collect data:
| Job | Tools |
|---|---|
| Aggregate Content Type Statistics | Content Type Audit |
| Analyze Personalization Usage | Personalization Audit, Audience Manager |
| Link Audit | Link Audit |
Run these from the CMS admin Scheduled Jobs page, or trigger them from each tool's "Run now" button.
