With the introduction of the new CMS approach for managing object entries, the existing 1:1 nested object entry functionality in the Page Builder (LPD-20213) is now deprecated and will be removed. This feature has proven to be complex and underutilized by end-users.

The new approach, being developed under the CMS 2.0 initiative, will offer a more intuitive user experience for object relationships, allowing users to configure child structures as repeatable or non-repeatable.

The new Side Panel (also known as Info Panel) is a reusable Clay React component that provides a consistent, accessible, and responsive sliding panel for use across Liferay applications. It supports common use cases such as content editing, navigation, and contextual information display.
 

Key benefits:

• We established a uniform look and feel across all instances of the Side Panel, reducing cognitive load and improving usability and also ensured compliance with accessibility standards (e.g. keyboard navigation, ARIA roles), enabling inclusive design by default.

• Reduces redundant implementations and streamlines maintenance by offering a centralised, reusable component.

• Reinforces design consistency and reusability across the product ecosystem.

The addition of new translations and locales ensures that users in Myanmar, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Ireland and Serbia can interact with the platform in their preferred languages or regional variation.

Key benefits:

• Tailors the user experience for specific markets and regions, improving relevance and usability

• We made the platform more inclusive by expanding language and locale options.

The Accessibility Checker Component is being deprecated as part of our effort to improve accessibility tooling and simplify our component library. After evaluating its usage and overlap with other accessibility solutions in Liferay, we found it to be redundant and we stopped using it long time ago.
