Spent some time digging into CMS 3.0 and figured I'd share notes for anyone who hasn't moved over yet.
The shift from overlay editing to the table-based inline view is the part that actually changed my workflow. Updating text, images, references, and publish status without leaving the main view sounds minor until you're managing a few hundred entries — then it's a different job entirely.
Other things worth knowing:
- 100k item ceiling, so big catalogs and multi-collection sites are viable now
- Bulk editing + multi-select genuinely cuts SEO passes and migrations down to minutes
- Collection folders finally let the CMS structure mirror your actual site
- Search + advanced filtering combined makes finding "published posts missing meta descriptions" a one-step thing
I wrote up the full breakdown including the SEO side here if useful:

Curious what others are running into — anyone hit limits with the 100k cap yet, or found the folder organization changes how you plan collections from the start?
