The Explorer product is being deprecated and will no longer be available from Oct 1, 2026. Its core content creation and discovery workflows have been replaced by the new Content mode in Page builder. Content mode provides a modern, focused experience for creating, finding, and editing content. It is designed to support faster authoring and simpler navigation for everyday content tasks.
Use Content mode instead of Explorer
You can use Content mode to perform the most common Explorer workflows, including:
Creating pages, folders, and content items using guided insert options
Finding content through fast, flat search rather than browsing a deep tree
Opening content items directly in a full‑screen editing experience
Searching within an item to quickly locate and edit specific fields
Content mode is optimized for speed and scale and reduces context switching by keeping creation, discovery, and editing in a single focused Page builder experience.
What this means for existing users
If you currently rely on Explorer:
There is no immediate action required, but we recommend transitioning everyday content authoring workflows to Content mode.
Some advanced or administrative scenarios may still require Content Editor, depending on your setup and roles.
