4.3.5-beta.1 — Shared block Prepublish beta

Beta for customer evaluation on Optimizely CMS 12.

Download the complete customer beta bundle. It contains SiteImprove.Optimizely.Plugin.4.3.5-beta.1.nupkg, installation and rollback instructions, validation notes, checksums, and three screenshots. The individual files are also attached.

Editors can run Prepublish checks on a shared block's draft before submitting it for review or approval. Blocks show only the Prepublish content-check view; returning to a page restores its normal tabs. Requires Latest UI, Siteimprove Prepublish access and a same-origin editable HTML block preview supplied by the site.

These are the exact tested package bytes; no rebuild was performed for publication.

• All 8 CMS integration tests passed on each of two CMS 12 profiles: UI 12.34.6/Core 12.24.0 and UI 12.32.5/Core 12.22.6.
• The 4.3.3 upgrade check preserved configuration, login and published/draft content. Supporting backend, browser, unit and package checks passed.
• Real Siteimprove scans detected a draft image-alternative issue and cleared it after a saved correction and fresh scan.
• A representative visible Full Width/Restricted Width preview reported speeling as one potential misspelling with two occurrences, highlighted both, and cleared it after autosave, reload and a fresh completed scan. The attached screenshots are from this local reproduction, not the customer's deployed CMS. Two unrelated accessibility findings remained.

Installation and scope

Use a test environment first and follow INSTALLATION-AND-ROLLBACK.md. The site must provide its own block preview template. CMS 13, inline blocks, media, absent previews and cross-origin/headless previews without a bridge are outside this beta. Preview-layout duplication can produce multiple occurrences for one word.

Local validation used macOS ARM64, .NET 8 CMS hosts and SQL Server 2022 through Rosetta. The live CDN SDK and Siteimprove service supplied real results; local helper token/settings HTTP responses remained controlled and the signed-in browser supplied authentication. Linux release-workflow, Windows and customer-site acceptance are separate. See VALIDATION.md and PREVIEW-VALIDATION.md for details.

This release preserves the beta's tested source commit; later main-branch admin redirect and regional-language changes are not part of this package. Customer acceptance should use the exact CMS version, language and preview templates intended for rollout.

This GitHub prerelease does not publish the package to the NuGet or Optimizely feed.

GitHub source validation

The exact source commit also passed Linux backend/browser checks and Linux package, two-profile CMS and upgrade checks. Every required job passed. CI generated a separate CI-version package; the customer assets above retain the original locally tested 4.3.5-beta.1 bytes and checksum.
