A First Look at the MODX Revo 2.3 Manager Redesign

Instead of a long screenshot dump, this post captured the new MODX Revo 2.3 manager design in a short video. It was a useful way to see how UI improvements were shaping up before release and to compare the evolving backend direction with the manager experience people already knew.

Even for Evolution-focused readers, this kind of preview mattered because backend usability trends in the wider MODX ecosystem influenced how people thought about manager tooling, editor flow, and visual polish.

Why this preview was useful

• it gave a quick visual look at the redesigned manager before release
• it made UI changes easier to judge than a screenshot-only teaser
• it provided comparative context for people following both MODX Revo and Evolution CMS

Why it still belongs in the archive

• it preserves a real moment in the broader MODX ecosystem timeline
• it helps explain the design expectations around manager interfaces at the time
• it pairs well with later Evolution manager-tooling and UX posts
