  • PHP version 7.0

Features

Sidebar

We've made Acrolinx available as a Sidebar that you can move around as you like. The Sidebar can check any content that you're able to edit in Drupal, including captions and alt text for images.

Drupal Content Profile

To make checking in Acrolinx for Drupal a breeze, starting with Guidance Package 5.4, you get a new Content Profile included for Drupal. You can also update your earlier Guidance Package to get this new Content Profile.

Support for Single Sign-on (SSO)

SSO means that if you're signed in to Drupal, you're automatically and seamlessly signed in to Acrolinx. To use Acrolinx for Drupal, your Acrolinx administrator has to enable SSO. Check out the article on setting up SSO.

Embed Check Data

Embed Check Data gets promoted to the Drupal UI with this release! If your administrator enables Embed Check Data on Acrolinx and in Drupal, Acrolinx saves the Acrolinx Score, time stamp, and link to the Scorecard for all your checked content. This information gets stored in your Drupal database, but it also appears in a field in the Drupal UI after you run a check. Just another way to keep track of your content quality at a glance!

Acrolinx Sidebar Available in Drupal UI Language

By default, the Sidebar appears in English. If you want the Sidebar to appear in a different language, then your administrator can change the Drupal UI language — this will automatically apply to your Sidebar as well.

License Activation

You'll need a new license to get the Sidebar edition activated.
