Superdesk offers content profiles for content types other than standard articles, such as events and planning items as well as media items such as videos and images. Previously, these profiles had to be manually configured for each client, but this new functionality will be built into the standard version of Superdesk.

By moving components to React.js, Superdesk will become available in languages that read right to left, such as Arabic.
With this UX improvement, users will be able to create powerful searches targeting specific fields of an article, and make use of classic boolean operators AND, OR, and NOT. This intuitive UI will enable even non-experts to make full use of the powerful Elastic search engine.
Target release date: Q3 2023
Newshub helps news clients locate articles relevant to their interests, and the current version makes it easy to save topic searches and be alerted when new articles that meet these criteria are published. Now, power users will be able to organise their topics into specific folders, and easily see the notification status for new articles.
Target release date: Q3 2023
With Newshub’s Dashboard, users will find a selection of content curated by the editorial team of the news agency. With this new feature, users will be able to build their own personalized Dashboard based on their topics of interest.

To improve customer service, Newshub admins will now be able to login on behalf of the user to help identify and solve problems.

Though these features aren’t currently on our roadmap for Superdesk, they would add useful functions to the system. If you might be interested in co-developing them with us, please get in touch.
This feature will allow editors and journalists to continue writing articles without any internet connection. Once the internet connection is restored, content will automatically be updated and saved.
A lighter-weight, simplified version of the Superdesk editorial interface, this is aimed at facilitating collaboration among freelancers working with news organisations as well as staff reporters who are physically outside the newsroom and filing their stories from a mobile device.
Create a custom database of the terms used most often in your organisation. Whether it’s a glossary of specialised words, or consists of references to certain people or places, having your own knowledge base in Superdesk will improve the consistency of your content and the efficiency of your workflows.
As part of improving image handling in Superdesk more broadly, this would be a specific enhancement for packages containing image galleries and specific media items. The workflow for creating and publishing a package would be redesigned around specific newsroom requirements.
Based on metadata, this would enable media items containing infographics to be indexed independent of the particular file or media type (png, jpg, JS, embeds, ai).
This functionality would help publishers and news agencies manage both rights-based limitations to the geographical usage of news items as well as time-based restrictions for the usage of images and videos.
This would improve the handling of pictures in Superdesk with regard to type of media and publishing needs.
