Editor Power Tools
A growing suite of productivity tools for Optimizely editors and admins. Audit, bulk-edit, import, and health-check your CMS — all from one place.
The main dashboard — all tools accessible from a single navigation menu inside Optimizely CMS
Real problems, real editors
Managing a large Optimizely installation is hard. Content grows, teams change, and the native CMS tools leave editors hunting for answers that should be instant.
Where is everything?
Editors spend hours hunting for which visitor groups are used, why a page won't publish, or what content types have broken properties. That information exists — it just isn't surfaced.
Bulk changes are painful
Updating a property across hundreds of pages, re-sorting a product catalogue, or batch-publishing seasonal content isn't possible out of the box.
Translation gaps go unnoticed
Multi-language sites accumulate stale or missing translations with no way to get a cross-site overview. Editors only find gaps when users complain.
Broken links spread silently
Internal and external links break as content moves. Without an audit tool, editors discover problems when customers do.
CMS health is a black box
Database bloat, orphaned content types, misconfigured scheduled jobs — without a health dashboard, these build up undetected.
Who's editing what?
On busy sites with distributed teams, content collisions and duplicate work are a constant risk without real-time presence awareness.

A look inside

Filter, select, and inline-edit properties across hundreds of content items. Bulk save or publish with a single click.

See every content type, usage counts, and which properties are inherited, defined, or orphaned. Export to CSV.

A pluggable health check dashboard. Run built-in checks or write your own. Auto-fix capabilities for common issues.

Full editorial history across the site. Compare versions, add comments, and track who changed what and when.
Built with agentic development
Editor Power Tools is a working example of how we build software at umage.ai. The entire project — from architecture to implementation — was developed using AI agents guided by our team.
Specs written in hours. Tests generated automatically. A full suite of tools shipped without a single sprint ceremony. This is what efficient, AI-native development looks like in practice.
