This feature enables users to export a CSV file containing detailed information about segment membership, including a list of all known individuals within a segment and their associated data, providing valuable insights for stakeholders.

Highlights:

• Export Capability: Allows users to generate a CSV file containing segment membership data.

• Comprehensive Details: Includes a list of all known individuals in a segment, with details such as names and email addresses.

• Actionable Insights: Equips stakeholders with valuable data for analysis and decision-making.

Users can access a new Performance tab on the Content Dashboard, which provides detailed metrics for assets, including visitor behavior and the top pages where each asset is featured. Data can be filtered by anonymous or known visitors. These metrics are available for Blogs, Documents and Media, and Web Content and are exclusively accessible to users connected to Analytics Cloud.

• This functionality refers to tracking events related to non-default asset types and visualizing the data on a dashboard. From now on, customers will no longer be able to use this specific method to track views of non-default asset types and visualize this data on a dashboard in Analytics Cloud

• Using custom event tracking is the recommended way to track your custom assets from now on.

• This functionality refers to segments that are static groups of users.

• That said, users can now utilize either user group-based segments or dynamic segments instead of static ones moving forward.

Default View and Download permissions for documents have been adjusted to match the behavior prior to the changes introduced in LPD-16744, restoring the expected user experience.

Highlights: 

• The View and Download permissions will be linked by default when uploading documents through the single and multiple file uploaders

• The Permissions configuration UI is improved so users can more easily recognize that the View and Download permissions are separate permissions

• The Download permission is now automatically included when a user shares a document and assigns permissions

We added External Reference Codes for Categories and Tags and their associated API’s, improving their portability for data migration scenarios.

Highlights: 

• Users can now perform CRUD operations using a Tag’s ERC through its headless API (Keyword)

• Users can now perform CRUD operations using a Category’s ERC through its headless API (TaxonomyCategory)

We added External Reference Codes for references in widget configurations in Content Management applications. This helps promote data integrity when pages and their widgets are migrated across environments.

Highlights:

References within the following page widgets now use ERC’s instead of internal ID’s:

• Announcements
• Web Content Display
• Category Filters
• Questions

We added several API endpoints for Documents & Media to improve programmatic management of these entities.

Highlights:

• Users can now add, delete, and retrieve document types via headless API (DocumentDataDefinitionType)

• Users can now add, delete, and retrieve document metadata sets via headless API (DocumentMetadataSet)

It is now possible to subscribe to documents and folders, allowing users to receive notifications when they are updated.

Highlights:

• Users can now subscribe to documents and folders through the “Subscribe” action and through the Subscribe icon in the Info Panel

• If a user subscribes to a folder, all documents and subfolders within it will be automatically subscribed to as well

During the publishing process, users can both define and manage permissions, as well as schedule publication dates for their web content. When creating content for the first time, users will have the opportunity to conveniently review and manage permissions. Furthermore, when editing previously created content, users can also adjust permissions directly from the editor view. Additionally, users can easily select the desired publication date for their content during the publishing process.

• Users can select and reorder categories for a blog’s friendly URL, so they can preview the order of the categories in the friendly URL and determine how the categories will be presented in the friendly URL along with the title.

• Users are able to set different values for the asset types separators in the friendly URLs. Also, they are able to reset to default value, so for those asset types that they have clicked on this option, the separator will be the value defined by default for those specific asset types.

This release expands the support of the Timeline History feature to Blogs, Wiki pages, Bookmarks, Forms, Knowledge base, Message boards, and Categories. The feature enhances the publication toolbar with tools to detect and manage collaboration conflicts.

• A timeline icon shows recent modifications in the same asset, which may have been done in production or parallel Publications.

• The user can view, discard, or move these changes directly from the toolbar.

• Warning icons appear to make users aware of current conflicts in the Publication.

Key benefits:

• Enhanced context for content editors and managers for a streamlined collaboration.

• New capabilities to detect conflicts before publishing time, while users may have more time to decide how to resolve conflicts without the go-live pressure.

This set of improvements aims to simplify the manual work users must do to resolve conflicts when publishing a publication. Now, instead of raising a conflict to be resolved manually by the user, the system will try to overwrite conflicting changes in production with the modifications done in the publication, meaning that the Modification and Modification deletion conflict types won’t be presented for the user anymore.

In the case of a Deletion modification conflict, the system won’t resolve it automatically, but now it makes it easier to keep the modifications made in the publication. In the Conflicting changes screen, we added a button with the option to "Restore in Production" for conflicts in which the asset was deleted from production and is now in the Recycle bin.

Key benefits:

• Reduce the amount of manual work by automatically solving most of the conflicts.

• Improve user satisfaction and reliability on publications by ensuring that assets supported by Recycle Bin can be quickly restored, avoiding requiring the user to discard needed changes.

Provided an option to turn the “Out-of-date” feature on/off. When turned on (the default behavior before this release), ongoing publications created in previous Liferay versions were labeled as “Out-of-date” after the upgrade and could not be modified or published. This feature is now off by default, and users can publish these publications without Liferay support.

Key benefit:

Increase manageability over publications and the ability to publish any previous modification, including after Liferay upgrades.

The two separate option menus currently displayed in the Web Content Display widget have been merged into a single, consolidated dropdown menu for content creators. This new menu will improve the user experience by reducing confusion and unnecessary clicks, ensuring all relevant widget actions (e.g., Hide Widget, Duplicate, Export/Import, etc.) are easily accessible.

Added logging to indicate the completion of fragment deployments via the deploy folder. This provides better visibility into the deployment process and allows for tracking deployment duration.

There are some advantages of including a message like that, for example:

• Count the duration of a deployment
• See the fragment progress deployment until it is deployed.

Improved keyboard navigation and column resizing for Miller columns. Users can now navigate between columns both horizontally (deeper levels) and vertically (same level) using the keyboard. Column widths are also responsive, adapting to different screen sizes.

• Boost Liferay’s platform with drag-and-drop, multi-selection, and cut/copy/paste features for easier field and fragment organization.

• Fine adjustments in the User Experience when managing page components through in bulk multiselection

The updated Clay chart colour palette improves accessibility and usability by creating more contrast and adding more variations. Now users can easily distinguish charts, icons, and field sets, reducing confusion and improving clarity.
 

Key benefits:

• Now we have more design flexibility for Liferay’s current and future products.

• Accessible and distinguishable colours that will improve and unify the platform usability and UI.
