A new Pending approval publication status and filter option are now available in the Publications list.

Publications automatically receive the Pending approval status when at least one linked asset is still in Draft or Pending workflow status. A dedicated filter allows users to quickly identify publications that are not yet ready to be published.

Key Benefits:

• Speeds up the review and approval process

• Provides immediate visibility into publication readiness

• Improves clarity of workflow-related behavior

Liferay has significantly enhanced how content and experiences are managed with the new CMS, Objects, better content promotion between environments, and many other features that didn’t exist when the Publications' framework was designed.

Instead of redesigning the framework for this new scenario, we are developing a new set of tools that will still support Publications' use cases with even greater efficiency and flexibility:

• Marketing teams will orchestrate new content and page versions as campaigns through a new “bundling” feature.

• Live experiences (“Production”) will keep safe from ongoing or unapproved content and page changes through enhanced content statuses and versions governance.

• Authors will keep free to create, change, and preview their assets in context with a new Preview Framework.

Moving Publications into maintenance mode allows us to continue supporting current users while focusing on this new strategy and the next generation of publishing tools.
