The following content types are still supported in the new Central 2025 templates, but we would like to phase them out.

There is no need to delete pre-existing examples, but do not use these content types to create new content:

Elm Calendar Feed (Import URL) 

Use Elm Calendar Feed instead. 

Embedded Video Two Column 

Use Embedded Video instead 

Four Column Content 

Rows of four columns are no longer supported by the new templates. Consider other layouts, such as two rows of two columns,

Quick Links 

Use Related Resources instead (or Contact Box + Related Resources if the quick links are next to a contact box) 

Fulltext Article 

Use Article (formerly Blog Entry) instead.

Icon Navigation Item

Please consider alternative content types, such as multiple-column content types or Thumbnail List Item

Some content types from the old UMB templates no longer serve a purpose in the new Central 2025 templates.

The following will no longer work:

Blog

The content type formerly known as Blog Entry (now Article) IS fully supported, but there is no longer a need for a separate Blog content type.

Note: As of this writing, we are considering bringing this back as an optional “Article Config” content type. For now, though, its status is discontinued.
