This involves introducing frontend presets, improving backend usability, enhancing external system integration, and much more.

In this blog, we will explore the upcoming plans for TYPO3 v13, providing comprehensive insights into what’s in store for users in TYPO3 v13.

TYPO3 v13 Roadmap Goals — Making TYPO3 Things Easier Everyone

Frontend Rendering Presets

Based on feedback from the TYPO3 community and numerous discussions at the TYPO3 Conference 2023, TYPO3 has elevated its standards to announce TYPO3 v13. During these conversations, TYPO3 discovered that many users face repetitive challenges in performing certain actions. A primary example is the integrator’s focus on creating sites, establishing backend layouts, configuring user permissions, and preparing a new empty TYPO3 instance for TYPO3 editors.

To address this issue, TYPO3 plans to simplify these processes and minimize the daily efforts required by users in TYPO3 v13. TYPO3 also aims to make these processes configurable and duplicatable for integrators. Additionally, the implementation of import and export functions, along with an improved duplication process for content options, is on the agenda.

Enhancing Backend User Experience and Accessibility

TYPO3 continuously works on updating the TYPO3 backend with the latest trending technologies and implementing user requirements in the best possible way. TYPO3 v12 LTS is already equipped with extensive features in this regard. To meet and exceed the strict requirements of the public sector, TYPO3 will continue to implement new modernized techniques in the backend.

Upcoming Goals of TYPO3 v13

The upcoming plans for TYPO3 v13 include external system integrations, simplified workspaces, and improvements in image rendering and content blocks.

Required Database Compatibility

MySQL version 8.0.17 or higher
