This feature enable the creation of multi steps forms in Page Editor.

Allow users to modify only the first collection display item.

The existing documentation for Clay components and the API Table has been inconsistent in quality, often lacking detailed explanations and practical examples. This inconsistency makes it difficult for developers to effectively utilise these components, leading to confusion and an increased number of support requests.

Key Benefits:

• Developers now have a better mechanism for generating API Tables for components, improving the overall understanding of component usage and available APIs. With detailed explanations and real-world examples.

• With this new standardised documentation practices we can ensure a uniform quality and completeness across all components.

• Clearer, more structured, and more practical documentation will reduce frustration and improve the development process.

• Clearer documentation minimizes the need for external support, freeing up resources and improving response times.

We integrated the Clay Table's column visibility dropdown and column sorting functionalities into the Frontend Data Set. This makes a unified approach to table interactions across Liferay, replacing inconsistent custom implementations.

Key Benefits:

• A more standard column visibility and sorting that guarantee a more usable and predictable interaction across the platform.

• Reduces redundant code by aligning with the Clay Table’s native functionalities.

• Developers no longer need to manage multiple implementations for similar features.

• Ensures UI and UX consistency with Liferay’s design system.

Style Books in Liferay are now explicitly tied to a specific theme at the moment of creation, using the frontend token definition provided by that theme (via OSGi or themeCSS client extension). This structural link now ensures that each Style Book can only operate within the boundaries of its associated theme, eliminating cross-theme token contamination and enforcing clearer theme-based design governance.

Key Benefits:

• Users can no longer save Style Books that accidentally combine tokens from different themes, avoiding visual inconsistencies and design regressions.

• Every Style Book now visibly shows which theme it belongs to, reducing errors and making it easier for teams to manage design assets across multiple sites.

• When applying a Style Book to a page, the system will only list those created with the same theme as the page’s current one—no more trial-and-error or guesswork.

• If a Style Book becomes incompatible with the applied theme (e.g., after a theme change), it will be automatically unlinked to prevent display issues.

• During platform upgrades, existing Style Books are automatically linked to the site’s current public theme (as defined in Site Builder > Pages > Options > Configuration), reducing manual cleanup work.

• If a Style Book is imported without a valid themeId, the user gets a clear warning and knows exactly what’s missing to fix the import.

• Style Books based on themes that are no longer deployed or no longer provide a valid frontend token definition are automatically marked as inactive—clearly flagged and non-selectable.

• The OSGi or themeCSS client extension ID is displayed for inactive Style Books, helping devs or admins identify which theme needs to be re-installed or fixed.

With the release of Liferay DXP 2025.Q2, we are deprecating the Elasticsearch 7 compatibility due to the end-of-maintenance and upcoming EOL of the Elastic Stack 7.17. Liferay strongly recommends all customers with 7.17.x or earlier deployments to upgrade to the latest compatible version of Elasticsearch 8.x. Learn more. 

The Concurrent and Sync Reindex Modes, providing high-availability, introduced in Liferay DXP 7.4 Update 98 / Liferay DXP 2023.Q4 are now GA.

Reduce downtime, improve 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.

In this release a new type of Data Set called System Data Sets is introduced, which will allow admin users to clone Java/Code Data Sets, making them editable and customizable through the Data Set Manager, which allow to customize any administration part of DXP built with a customizable Java/Code Data Set.

In this release the Data Sets from Order Pages have been made available as System Data Sets:

• Pending Order Items

• Placed Order Items

• Order Returns

• Pending Orders

• Placed Orders

In the next releases more and more Data Sets will be added to the list.
 

Key Benefits

• This epic increases the flexibility of Liferay DXP by enabling partial customization of previously hardcoded Data Sets.

• Admins will have more control over the user experience, enhancing the platform's ability to meet diverse and evolving business requirements.

• This also reduces the need for custom development efforts to modify or replace hardcoded Data Sets.
