The Pulse will also give you total control through message catagorization, filtering and quick-link for performing a related action.

Define and manage your personal workspace with Magnolia 5 Favorites. Create shortcuts to your most common actions such as adding a specific page, creating a microsite or adding a new offer in the data module. Even shortcuts to simply update your homepage will help save time, ensure consistency and make it personal to you.

 

Forget about bulky toolbars and cumbersome drop downs, Magnolia 5 is all action, with a simple yet intuitive action bar. Displayed on one side of the screen, the action bar will automatically highlight available actions, depending on what you are currently working on. The action bar will look and work differently on the iPad, naturally! The action bar will be expanded and collapsed with a swipe of your finger and the actions themselves will be represented by touch-targeted squares.
What's more, the action bar will be configurable to display relevant actions and Developers will even be able to extend the action bar to include customized actions.
