What’s New in ElmapiCMS v3?

ElmapiCMS v3 is the biggest update we’ve ever shipped. Rebuilt from the ground up with a new tech stack, modern UI, and powerful new features that make content modeling faster, cleaner, and more enjoyable.


Rebuilt from Scratch with Modern Tech

ElmapiCMS v3 introduces a brand new codebase built on a modern, scalable foundation:

  • Laravel 12 for a rock-solid backend
  • React + TypeScript for a robust, typed frontend
  • Inertia.js to bridge backend and frontend as a single-page app
  • Shadcn UI for clean, accessible, modern components

Brand New Interface

ElmapiCMS v3 now features a completely redesigned admin panel:

  • A modern, minimal interface focused on usability
  • Fully responsive layout for desktop, tablet, and mobile
  • Smooth navigation with no full page reloads
  • Built-in Dark Mode for your eyes (and taste)

Smarter User, Role, and Permission Management

ElmapiCMS v3 introduces a flexible user access system:

  • Manage users, roles, and permissions per project
  • Control exactly who can view, create, edit, or delete content
  • Great for teams, clients, and multi-role environments

New Asset Library

Working with content is now faster and more intuitive:

  • Project Templates – Start with a predefined or custom template. Save your favorite project layouts for reuse.
  • Project Cloning – Instantly duplicate an entire project
  • Collection Templates – Save and reuse collection blueprints
