Scrivito JS SDK 1.56.0 Released

Posted on November 7, 2025

Improvements

Localized “Click to edit” placeholder

The “Click to edit” placeholder is now displayed in the editor’s selected language.

Color picker supports transparency

The color picker editor now lets editors choose transparent and semi-transparent colors directly in the Web Builder, making it easier to work with alpha values without manually entering RGBA or hex codes. See the documentation for details.

Faster and lighter bundles

The size of the initial bundle plays a big role in how quickly a website feels ready to use. With this release, the Scrivito SDK got leaner, which reduces the overall app bundle size as well. In our tests, the Brotli-compressed full app bundle became more than 5 % smaller, resulting in faster loading and improved Lighthouse scores.

The exact savings in your project will depend on its other dependencies. In particular, this change replaces urijs with the built-in URL and URLSearchParams browser APIs, so bundle sizes may vary if your app still uses urijs.

Fixed bugs

A bug that prevented Scrivito.currentSiteId from functioning in components mounted via Scrivito.openDialog has been fixed. Instead of null, Scrivito.currentSiteId now returns the ID of the site currently selected in the UI.

Thank you for using Scrivito!
