Improvement

We’re thrilled to announce the release of Content SDK v2.0, a major milestone that takes developer experience, performance, and AI integration to the next level. This release delivers a reimagined framework for building data-driven, AI-powered Sitecore applications.

What’s New 

  • Agent support and AI skills

    • Expanded AI coding assistance with revamped guides and integrated configuration through AGENTS.md.

    • Added Skills.md, and .agents/skills/ directories to define capabilities for AI tools and agents, each with clear usage rules, hard limits, and stop conditions.

    • Scaffolded agent skills now ship with Next.js templates via create-content-sdk-app.

  • Analytics packages

    • Consolidated functionality from the Cloud SDK into new analytics-core, events, and personalize packages.

    • Simplified initialization through the new initContentSdk function.

  • Integrated search package

    • Introduced a new @sitecore-content-sdk/search package, that provides an easy and powerful way to add a type-safe search layer. Includes the SearchService with pagination, sorting, and cancellation support.

    • New React hooks (useSearch and useInfiniteSearch) for simplified query and infinite scroll patterns.

  • Other improvements

    • Support for custom Edge hostnames via SITECORE_EDGE_PLATFORM_HOSTNAME.

    • New rewriteMediaUrls option to transform layout media URLs dynamically.

  • Upgrades

    • Upgraded to Next.js 16 and Node.js 24

Breaking Changes

  • Decoupled architecture

    • @sitecore-content-sdk/content is now fully decoupled from @sitecore-content-sdk/core to allow more modular usage and independent updates.

  • Next.js 16 upgrade

    • middleware.ts renamed to proxy.ts

    • Deprecated configs like images.domains, replaced with remotePatterns.

  • React 19 refactor

    • Unified context through SitecoreProvider with new componentMap and loadImportMap.

    • Deprecated HOCs replaced by modern hooks (useSitecore).

    • Improved performance defaults by disabling suspense for better response times.

  • Redirect & locale behavior updates

    • Redirects now default to using the default locale unless language preservation is explicitly toggled, ensuring predictable localization across multi-site setups.
