Until now, when executing a staging import, users could choose, prior to the import, to delete all existing information in the destination environment.
This option has been deprecated due to its low usage (verified directly with clients and partners) and the high risk it entails, as deletion affects not only the elements already in the import but also their related entities. This could lead to the loss of necessary information or the possibility of some entities becoming disconnected from the rest, making both the import and error resolution extremely complicated due to the lack of a list of affected elements. There will not be a substitution, so the alternative will be to delete the elements manually, either from the UI, API or directly in the database before performing the import.

When executing a staging import, users could choose different strategies to update the data.
”Copy as new” was one of the option, that allow the importer to create new items if they were already in the system. This could lead to create more elements than expecting that later on the user would need to clean. We are deprecating this feature in order to simplify the UI and avoid users to do mistakes.

There will not be a substitution.

In order to assist users in the migration to Jakarta EE required for 2025.Q3 and beyond, Blade and Workspace users now have a command to automatically convert their source code from Java EE to Jakarta EE for DXP-provided libraries.

Benefits

This tool simplifies the process for users migrating custom code to Jakarta. Providing:

1. In-place source code transformation from javax to jakarta for custom development projects using DXP-provided libraries

2. Liferay-specific dependency mapping

3. Portlet 4.0 conversion

4. Integration into Liferay Workspace

5. Supports source code conversion regardless of deployment method (e.g. JAR or WAR)

This tool is supported by Liferay to convert source code for compatibility with the Jakarta libraries provided by Liferay DXP.

The Liferay Marketplace has undergone a significant architectural enhancement with the formalization and enforcement of Liferay Catalogs. This structure clearly categorizes all Liferay-developed applications, providing explicit transparency on support levels, update schedules, and intended usage.

All Liferay-published applications are now distributed under three dedicated, high-level catalogs:

1. Liferay Inc.: Contains all fully supported, production-ready applications, including crucial productivity tools, security utilities, connectors, and Experience Management features. These apps follow a strict qcial hub for all new, experimental technologies and potential future core features. Apps in this catalog are not officially supported and are intended for testing and feedback purposes only.

2. Liferay Community: Hosts officially deprecated applications that remain available for backward compatibility, as well as applications contributed and offered under open-source licenses. These apps receive support until their latest compatible DXP version and follow a quarterly maintenance schedule.

Key Benefits:

• Targeted Discovery: Efficiently filter the Marketplace to find specific types of applications, such as mission-critical integration connectors (Liferay Inc.) or bleeding-edge experimental features (Liferay Labs).

• Predictable Updates: Rely on the consistent quarterly update schedule for all fully supported (Liferay Inc.) and Community-maintained applications.

A new set of fragments has been introduced under a dedicated category called “Account Selector.”.

These fragments allow to compose and customize the account selector according to their specific business needs.

Here is a list of the newly added fragments for building the account selector:

• Account Selector: this fragment is the main orchestrator of the entire component, handles the communication with external components, the dropdown mechanism and the panels (up to 5 can be configured), and manages the main drop zone areas

• Account Selector Button: OOTB available Account Selector call-to-action

  (preserves the current logic for page/component refreshes), used to open/close the account selector (any custom button hooked up with the Javascript business logic can be used).

• Account Selector Panel: this fragment can be drag-and-dropped inside the Account Selector’s panel drop zone (each panel is a tab that can be navigated in the dropdown) and creates a drop zone to place account-related views

• Accounts Data Set: Data Set fragment to display the list of selectable accounts for the current user

• Create Account Button: configurable call-to-action that allows the creation of new accounts, maintaining the existing Account Selector flow.

• Account Orders Data Set: Data Set fragment to display the list of selectable orders for the current account

• Create Order Button: configurable call-to-action that allows the creation of new orders, maintaining the existing Account Selector flow.

A fully configured Account Selector is also available out-of-the-box (OOTB) in the Commerce Classic Site Initializer (LPD-20379).

Key Benefits:

• Flexible Customization: Easily tailor the account selector to match your site’s structure and user needs.

• Improved User Experience: Enables intuitive navigation and personalization of account-related views.

• Configurable Control: Enable or disable specific features and interactions without custom development.

The new Configurable Order Scoping feature gives administrators more control over how orders are displayed on the site. Two new configuration settings have been added within each Channel:

• Open Orders Visibility Scope

• Placed Orders Visibility Scope

Each configuration offers two visibility options:

• Account (default): Maintains the existing behavior, where users can see all open or placed orders across all accounts they have access to, regardless of who created the order.

• User: Limits visibility so users only see orders they personally created for the accounts they are part of.

In addition, a new permission—“View Organization Orders”—has been introduced under Orders. This permission ensures that Sales Agents can continue to view all orders associated with their accounts, regardless of the scoping configuration. The permission is automatically assigned to the Sales Agent role by default.

Key Benefits:

• Flexible visibility control: Administrators can configure order visibility according to organizational or role-based needs.

• Improved data privacy: Restrict order visibility to the creator when required.

• Backward compatibility: Default setting preserves existing system behavior to avoid workflow disruption.

• Enhanced role management: The new “View Organization Orders” permission ensures key roles, such as Sales Agents, retain appropriate visibility.

The Manage Product Availability at Scale feature empowers catalog managers to efficiently manage individual products through multiple configuration pages containing all catalog’s products. With tools for manual configuration, eligibility-based visibility, and some bulk editing, this feature ensures streamlined operations and enhanced control over product offerings.

The Account Selector Customization feature has moved from BETA to RELEASE.

This epic delivers a comprehensive solution for exporting and importing tags with associated data across Liferay environments, tackling potential roadblocks to ensure a smooth and efficient migration process.

Key Benefits:

• Achieve True Content Portability: Facilitate the easy and standardized movement of content architecture between different instances, crucial for multi-site rollouts.

• Accelerate Deployment Pipelines: Ensure fast, reliable, and repeatable promotion of entire content structures between environments, maintaining configuration consistency with minimal manual effort.

This feature introduces “Lazy References” to ensure import success regardless of deployment order. If an imported item references a missing Vocabulary or Category, the system creates a temporary “incomplete” dummy object. This special status allows the main content import to succeed immediately. The project’s focus is managing the status lifecycle to allow a smooth transition of these incomplete dummies to a fully approved state when the complete taxonomy object is imported later.

Key Benefits:

• Order-Agnostic Deployment: Guarantees successful imports by decoupling content from its taxonomy dependencies, allowing content and categories to be deployed in any sequence.

• High Success Rate: Prevents import batch failures by automatically creating placeholders, isolating cleanup and ensuring that core content is immediately available.
