NovaDB 6.4 – More Clarity in Team Collaboration
The latest NovaDB update focuses on better team collaboration – from clear permissions and targeted comments to consistent text formatting.
Würzburg, November 10, 2026 – Noxum GmbH, specialist in content management and editorial systems, presents NovaDB 6.4, a new version of its platform. The release makes collaboration in editorial teams and data teams easier through workflow-driven permissions, field-level comments, and consistent text formats. It also makes resource consumption visible.
Permissions Follow the Workflow Status
NovaDB already offers workflows and a granular permission system. With NovaDB 6.4 the two interlock more closely: the workflow status of an object, such as an article or product, can now serve as a criterion for which groups are allowed to edit it. For example, the editorial team may change an article in the Draft status. Once it moves to Review, the edit right passes to the reviewers, and in the Published status it is locked for both groups. Permissions adjust automatically with every status change. This gives teams with fixed review steps more confidence that approved content won't be changed by mistake.
Clearer Discussions
The discussion area on objects has been redesigned. Users can write comments, edit or delete their own posts, and reply to individual comments. A comment can also be assigned to a specific field of the object. On a product, for example, a reviewer can note on the Price field that the value still needs to be confirmed, and on the Description field that the text needs to be shortened. This keeps feedback exactly where it belongs instead of getting lost in a general comment list. Comments on a field are marked as such. This makes coordination within the team easier and keeps even longer discussions traceable.
Formatting with Domain Meaning
In addition to the long-available paragraph styles, character styles can now be used in formattable text fields. Administrators create these in the configuration and define per attribute which styles are allowed. Editors assign a style to individual words or passages, or remove it again. This makes it possible, for example, to format product names consistently instead of formatting them by hand every time. It ensures a consistent layout across all texts and channels. The appearance is defined centrally, so changes don't need to be made in every text individually, and editorial and design teams need to coordinate less.
More Transparency on Resource Consumption
For operations, there is now also a new page that shows how much of the contractually agreed resources have already been used in the current month, for example storage space, data traffic, or the number of active objects. Bars compare consumption against the respective limit. If a limit is exceeded, the bar turns red and a warning appears. Administrators, consultants, and billing contacts can thus identify early whether the contract still matches actual demand.
