We are excited to announce that with the introduction of Composition patterns we are bringing Uniform’s powerful concept of patterns to the composition level:

• Reusable compositions: Build complete compositions, pre-connect them to data, and make them available as patterns for editors to use with new compositions in a templated way. This is ideal for data-heavy and complex compositions like product detail or article pages.
• Editorial flexibility with some guardrails: On compositions that are instances of a composition pattern, you can allow editors to override data resources, specific parameters of components that were defined in the pattern. Editors can also enrich compositions with additional components by configuring slot sections in the pattern.
• Centralized updates: By updating the composition pattern, you can promote changes to all composition instances of the pattern with a single click.

With composition patterns, you can define the right amount of editorial flexibility to empower your content team while ensuring consistency, simplicity, and efficiency and simplified maintenance.
