NextGen Progress and Updates

We're halfway through the NextGen conversion, and we've learned a lot along the way. This is where we share what we're learning as it develops: the changes, the updates, the new capabilities, and the known issues, along with the guides that help you work through them. It grows as the conversion does. We announce new material in UBCMSetera, our monthly newsletter.

Available now

  • Image Component
    9/18/26
    The photo component is now the image component, with reorganized tabs, a new Styles tab, and percentage-based sizing. This page covers what's changed and what's stayed the same.
  • Limited components available
    9/18/26
    A known issue after conversion: you can only add a few components to a page because your content landed in the banner layout container. This page and its walkthrough video show how to move it into the main area and switch to the right template.

In the works

More is on the way, including:

  • Working in NextGen: what's actually different
  • Layout containers
  • Column containers
  • Page templates and layouts
  • The wider page width, from 960 to 1280 pixels

Conversion progress

Overall progress as sites move to NextGen across the conversion waves.
