ICYMI - our docs got a MAJOR upgrade last week.
Alongside our V12 RC release, we've also totally rebuilt our documentation from the ground up.
Cleaner structure, better search, and a customization option so you can get docs tailored to your specific stack.
Just want a quick answer without digging through pages? Say no more.
We've ALSO added a new AI assistant to fetch what you need, right when you need it.
Whether you're just getting started or going deep on the API, it's all there.
Happy building!

Loving @rijkvanzanten 's presentation at @frontendnation. Very cool mix of determinism and non-determinism for flexibility and reliability

Most backends are built for developers.
But the rest of the team is building, too.
Directus v12 is out today. A major upgrade built around one idea: the whole team should be able to work on the same backend without getting in each other's way.
Here's what shipped:
An improved content editing experience. Native draft and publishing workflows built into the core.
AI-assisted translations. Scale across languages with schema scaffolding handled for you.
Granular access control for AI. Agents act on behalf of real users with the right permissions applied.
Oh...and we launched a new website (what up .com!), clarified our license with the new Open Innovation Grant, and completely revamped our documentation today too.
