The Spring '23 Release includes the following features:

• Studio*: Studio is a new no-code visual editor that empowers technical and non-technical teams to write React and build high-performing websites with Yext's Pages product. With Studio, anyone can develop statically generated, search engine optimized web properties with an intuitive drag-and-drop interface that writes React code, making it much easier for web teams to collaborate.
  
  
• Content Generation*: With the addition of Content Generation, Yext believes that the Knowledge Graph is the first content management system (CMS) on the market that automatically and proactively generates its own content.

• DAM Capabilities: The File field type allows businesses to use the Yext Knowledge Graph as a digital asset management (DAM) system. PDFs, documents, video files, and other digital assets are hosted in Yext’s file storage system and can be served to various digital experiences with Yext’s consumer-grade APIs. Soon, file contents will be made searchable with Yext’s multiple natural language algorithms.
  
  
• Apple Business Connect: A new integration with the Business Connect API includes support for fast updates and gives Yext Listings customers greater control over their presence on Siri and Apple Maps. With the Spring Release, businesses can now leverage the Listings Verifier to confirm that information on Apple Maps listings matches content stored in their Knowledge Graph.
