Option of rating added to Folders and the endpoints for Documents rated by me, Folders rated by me have been created.

Provide users with a simple and effective way to view, access, and manage the Knowledge Base folder hierarchy. It is included:

• Drag and drop experience for moving content.
• Search for content in the Knowledge Base management.

Ability to set expiration and review dates for articles, and to view which articles are pending expiration.

Now Content Editors can easily find the documents they are looking for thanks to the new filters added to Documents & Media.

Three (3) new filters have been added: categories, tags and extensions.

Page listing the version history of a document to help managing different version.

Priority icons to MB CSS are added to avoid to force enabling font awesome in the whole portal.

We have made the organization’s addresses, phone numbers and email addresses changes tracked. These can be added to a Publication from now on.

The list of working in progress for Publishing features can be found at Publications update 2023/06/13. We have improved performance, while also making the wiki pages change tracked. It has also been implemented a mechanism to remove publications that are more than 6 months old.

This new feature allows content editors to view the only publications that included modifications to a particular asset.

With this new feature an admin should be able to help preconfigure a publication to help facilitate their unique workflows.

Publication templates can be leveraged to provide naming patterns to any created publication. Tokens are provided to allow each publication to have unique names.

Admins can also assign roles to users immediately during publication creation.

Users can now create, edit, or delete knowledge base articles within a publication.

Support for Object displays pages in the search results, aggregating (via Custom Facet widget), filtering (Custom Filter widget) and sorting (Sort widget) using Object fields that are indexed as Nested Fields in Elasticsearch, similar to Web Content Structure (DDM) fields.

Automatically register a collection provider for each search blueprint. By displaying the blueprint's results in a collection display fragment, you can leverage search to return your assets dynamically, and reap the benefits of the fragments toolbox to lay out the page.

Search the company index for matching content through a single endpoint and build custom search experiences. Supports facets with translated display terms and also custom searching, filtering, aggregation and sorting through Search Blueprints (DXP ONLY)

Liferay Portal 7.4 CE GA88, Liferay DXP 7.4 Update 88 bundled with the latest available version of Elasticsearch 7.x for Sidecar (7.17.12, as of Aug 7, 2023).

With this new front-end client extension users will be able to add an entry to the global import map.

This can be used to share code between decoupled client extensions that are freed from the need to know the deployment URL of the code at build time. For example, this will allow you to share your library or framework of choice among all your front-end client extensions:

For a script to consume the JavaScript module referred to by the import map entry, it needs to be of type=module.

In order to help developers to understand how to use this client extension, a sample has been provided: https://github.com/liferay/liferay-portal/tree/master/workspaces/liferay-sample-workspace/client-extensions/liferay-sample-etc-frontend-2

It has extended the support for External Reference Code to other Liferay entities in version 7.4. With this new parameter, users will be able to access, create, update and delete various entities by simply specifying the scopeKey and the external reference code.

This External Reference Code is a custom identifier, which means that at the creation time it can be set, helping to migrate entities from one environment to another while keeping this External Reference Code the same across environments. You can check the available endpoints to be accessed by External Reference Code in the API explorer.

The batch engine API allows developers to export/import data, but it requires developers to provide a configuration with multiple parameters. With the new auto-generated endpoints, it is easier to perform export operations in the portal. The export endpoints are asynchronous, so it will provide a taskId in order to retrieve/download the records requested.

The endpoints follow this format:

With this feature it is possible to differentiate the login failures in the audit messages, which one is caused by incorrect password and which one is caused by incorrect login.

Before this change, audit messages were only returned for cases when the authentication failed with FAILURE status, which happens when the user provides an incorrect password. The event type is LOGIN_FAILURE in this case.

With the new changes, it is provided audit information for cases when the authentication fails with DNE status by adding a LOGIN_DNE event type. DNE stands for user "does not exist", it always means that the login (email / screenName / userID) is incorrect.

So with the newly added LOGIN_DNE event type we cover authentication DNE scenarios when the login fails due to incorrect login (email / screenName / userID) .

When the users are authenticated through SSO and IdP, it is possible to remove the ability of the end users to add or edit their passwords.

As an Instance Administrator, you are able to configure if the users have the option to give their password at registration and you can remove the whole password block from editing user data, if the password is not changeable by the password policy of the user.
