Assets that are currently being modified within a publication are now protected from deletion in production by default. Previously, this behavior was optional and disabled by default. It is now enforced automatically to ensure greater stability and data integrity when working with publications. Key Benefits:

Liferay has enhanced the Publications List and Review Changes screens by introducing automated state persistence for table configurations. Publication users can now save their customizations for their view—including filters, column ordering, and sorting. These preferences are captured directly in the URL, allowing users to return via browser navigation, save specific views as bookmarks, or share their exact configuration with teammates via a simple link. This update eliminates the need for repetitive manual setup, allowing users to maintain a consistent and focused workspace.
Key Benefits:
Seamless Workflow Continuity: Supports a more fluid navigation experience. Users can jump between different portal management areas and return to Publications without losing their place or their preferred data view.
Personalized Review Experience: Empowers different roles to configure the Review Changes screen exactly how they need it to perform their specific duties.
Enhanced Productivity: By persisting the table state, the platform reduces the mental load on users, helping them focus on the content changes themselves rather than the interface management.
Liferay has significantly enhanced how content and experiences are managed with the new CMS, Objects, better content promotion between environments, and many other features that didn’t exist when the Publications' framework was designed. Instead of redesigning the framework for this new scenario, we are developing a new set of tools that will still support Publications' use cases with even greater efficiency and flexibility:
Moving Publications into maintenance mode allows us to continue supporting current users while focusing on this new strategy and the next generation of publishing tools. |
We have implemented a new translation status feature in the web content editor, labeled "Translating," which provides information about the number of translated fields and those still requiring translation. This feature helps users to quickly identify areas needing translation. Additionally, all translatable fields, including metadata, are now conveniently displayed on the left side of the screen, reducing the likelihood of overlooking them.
Users can readily spot content that is not visible to Guest users through an icon, whether it's in list or table view or within the web content editor. Additionally, this feature is accessible in the item selector, empowering users to discern which content is not viewable by Guest users.
Now it is possible to easily identify the content you have created and any recent content you generated. This enhancement streamlines and optimizes this workflow.
Easily configure the friendly URLs for the different asset types, updating URL separators. In addition to that, now users are able to set categories within a blog’s friendly URL and easily identify by the URL what is the main topic of the page they are visiting.
This feature aims to refine the Analytics Cloud Usage Page. Alongside UI enhancements for a better user experience, we focused on enhancing data accuracy and real-time precision. Our efforts aimed to eliminate data discrepancies and prioritize transparency for the users.
Key Changes:
To promote pricing transparency, we removed the outdated prices from the Workspace settings and implemented a clear message prompting users to reach out to their Customer Success Manager for information on upgrading their plan.
Aiming to simplify the interface and highlight pertinent subscription details, some changes were made to the UI of the Subscription and Usage menu, focusing on displaying relevant information to the customer related to their current plan.
To create Sign In, Forgot Password, and Create Account utility pages, it's necessary for these three views of the Login portlet (i.e., Sign In widget) to be available as individual widgets, which can be placed on pages separately. As a result, Sign In, Forgot Password, and Create Account are now accessible as separate widgets.
It's worth noting that the Sign In widget retains its previous functionality.
We aimed to facilitate seamless navigation between various Utility pages, whether there are multiple or just one.
It allows users to map fields on the first level of related elements or any hierarchical structure through a tree view which is searchable and expandable.
In addition, it is possible to map leaf fields, the common use case, but also parent fields which include all the children data to be rendered through a Client Extension.
Until now the Data Set was always rendered as a table with one column for each mapped field. From now on, the admin user can define up to three different visualization modes for the same data: Table, List and Cards.
These visualization modes share the configurations about: filters, actions, sorting and pagination. However, each visualization mode can have different mapped fields decided by the admin users.
Also, a new Settings tab to select the default mode has been added.
Final users will be able to view the visualization modes created by Admin Users and they will be able to change between them to discover the data in the way they want.
The Data Set for actions has been improved to provide new capabilities to the users:
- For the Item Actions: now there are 4 new available types available on top of the link Action: Async, Headless, Modal or Side Panel . It allows Admin Users to connect items to new functionalities and use cases.
- Creation Actions: this option has been created in order to allow Admin Users to create new data or direct their users to a place where they can create it.
The autocomplete attribute grants the user agent permission to provide automated assistance in filling out form fields. This feature can significantly speed up the form-filling process, especially for repetitive or standard information like names, addresses, and email addresses. This also allows screen readers which use standard attributes such as autocomplete to assist users navigating websites.
Incorporating the HTML autocomplete attribute into your forms is a simple yet powerful way to enhance user experience. By leveraging autocomplete suggestions, you can streamline the form-filling process, reduce errors, and ultimately create a more user-friendly environment. Experiment with different values, test across browsers, and watch as your users appreciate the improved efficiency of your forms.
When publications go out of date, they are completely useless and all changes made to them can not be leveraged in any capacity. The changes in this feature allow publications users to move changes from an out of date publication to another publication. This allows users to salvage changes after an upgrade.
This feature prevents portal from being unusable when a change-tracked entity being modified in a publication is removed from production. If an entity is being modified in a publication, it cannot be removed from production. If a deleted entity in a publication is being modified in another publication, the publication with the deletion cannot be published.
Boost the performance of reverting changes , when the DB has huge amount of records. This way the usability of Publications further increases.
Until now, for a translatable object fields, there was no way to get the values in different languages and always returned the default one. With this change, by adding the Accept-Language header, users can get the selected values properly. This change affects to Rest API and GraphQL.
