Release Notes
Now, admins can customize the configuration of the Rich Text Editors with this new client extension, allowing them to set the toolbars that are available on different applications. In the form, you will have to define the instances in which the configuration will be taken into account as well as the JS that contains the configuration:

Our latest update empowers you to design custom Sign In, Forgot Password, and Create Account pages.
Now, if an asset type (for example, an Object definition) has several related Display Page Templates, and one of them is marked as Default, we allow to map links to any of the existing Display Page Templates for that Asset Type, in addition to the Default one.
This new possibility allows some interesting use cases for customers, such as:
Sometimes the changes added to a publication needs to be reviewed by someone who is not a member of the site. The goal here was to make unauthenticated users able to review changes within a publication. For this we implemented a mechanism to generate a code, which can be used to access the Review Changes screen of a certain publication. Also this link could be easily invalidated/generated anytime by authenticated Publication Reviewers.
The goal here is to make the users able to move changes between publications. This is needed because sometimes users do not want to publish an entire publication, but also do not want to revert the changes which will not be published actually. With this feature users can move changes from one publication to another, creating subsets of changes, and publish them separately. For readers with technical knowledge: this is similar to cherry-pick-ing a commit in git from one branch to another.
A common problem we have heard from our customers revolves around the time required to complete an AB Test. If a customer’s page receives limited traffic, the time to completion could be many weeks if not months. Amidst the rapid changes in today's business landscape, this delay potentially negates the usefulness of test results. On top of this, if a user were to terminate the test prematurely, the insights they gathered from the test and the variant they created were lost.
In order to remedy this issue, we are now providing test results and the ability to publish a variant when an AB Test is terminated. Although these results cannot determine a winning variant with 100% confidence, they will give marketers a sense of how their variant was performing. Using this information, Marketers can now make educated decisions according to their specific time constraints.
It is important to remark that this feature is DXP-only, as it belongs to Analytics Cloud.
The ability for a buyer or sales agent to edit a product bundle directly from the mini-cart has now been added. Previously, if a change had to be made the bundle had to be deleted from the cart and added again. This allows for more speedy alterations to be made before proceeding with check out.

Benefits:
Reducing downtime, improving operational and resource utilization efficiency with the new Concurrent and Sync reindex execution modes providing high-availability in search capabilities while the operation is running.
Admins now can define views and select fields that are localized, so users will access the corresponding translation when visiting the page. Additionally, the names of the columns and filters are also localizable.
In order to use this feature it is needed to enable “Translation Support for Object Entries” in the Feature Flags menu before enabling “Data Set Manager” in the beta section of the Feature Flags menu.
With the Data Migration Center, users can export and import, in a very easy way, Objects entries and Objects definitions from one instance to another using JSON files. The actions executed can be consulted later in a list when you can download the files generated every time is needed.
The Analytics mobile app allows users to access the main reports and dashboards on-the-go to stay on top of the most relevant metrics for the business.
We have enhanced our recommendation engine to provide two new recommendation algorithms: one focused on recommending content based on the user's browsing history on the website, and the other one providing recommendations based on most popular content. These recommendation strategies can be used by adding the matching content collections to any page. Experimentation and attribution is also possible by comparing them through an AB test that determines the best strategy to increase CRO.
Liferay Portal 7.4 CE GA101+ and Liferay DXP 7.4 Update 101+ and Liferay DXP 2024.Q1 are bundled with Elasticsearch 7.17.14 as the Sidecar server.
In addition, the Elasticsearch client libraries have also been upgraded to 7.17.14. Refer to the Breaking Changes notes below for more details how this may impact deployments.
LXC now provides anomaly detection to identify disruptions in the expected website traffic.
Anomalies in traffic volume are detected through a comparison with historical data, taking into account seasonality. Users can also create alerts based on custom events and schedule notifications when thresholds in metrics are exceeded.
Now, users are able to fill out object entries in parts, allowing them to save data as draft and return at their convenience to complete.
This feature addresses the inconvenience of not being able to remove specific entries from user invitation forms, enhancing the user experience for admin users who create these forms. It solves the problem of inefficient form management, allowing users to remove entries without starting over.
The feature enables users to remove entries from the invitation form by clicking a designated removal button, with a confirmation modal to prevent accidental removal.
