When a user visits a page that contains a Data Set, there is a certain amount of data that can be altered in some ways:

• By filtering the data

• By ordering the data

• By changing the columns to show on the Table Visualization

• By changing the visualization mode

When users navigate away from the Data Set and then return, these unsaved changes are lost, leading to a frustrating user experience.

This feature automatically saves the current view state of a Data Set in the URL. This saved state will ensure the Data Set configuration is consistently recoverable when users navigate back (via browser history or links) and, crucially, that a shared URL provides colleagues with the exact same view.

Key Benefits:

 

• Avoid user frustration: When the user returns to the Data Set they face the same state they had when they left.

• Sharing what you see with other users: Users can share the link of a page with a Data Set and the user acessing that very page will face the same Data Set state.

Admins can now fully customize the Rich Text Editor configuration in CKEditor 5 using a new Client Extension. This new extension achieves feature parity with the old CKEditor 4 extension, allowing you to define which toolbars are available across different applications.

Bonus Feature: Unlike its predecessor, the CKEditor 5 extension supports dynamic loading of official CKEditor plugins not included by default in DXP, greatly expanding your customization options.

Key Benefits:

 

• Allow dev users to modify the CK Editor 5 configuration such as new block styles

• Allow the dev users to hide plugins such as the options in the editor toolbaar.

• Allow users to dynamically add more plugins from CK Editor official showcase.

 
 

The Liferay database upgrade process has been enhanced with automated database repair routines to improve the speed and reliability of DXP upgrades.

Key Benefits:

 

• Faster upgrades

• Minimize risks for current and future upgrades
