Users can access a new Performance tab on the Content Dashboard, which provides detailed metrics for assets, including visitor behavior and the top pages where each asset is featured. Data can be filtered by anonymous or known visitors. These metrics are available for Blogs, Documents and Media, and Web Content and are exclusively accessible to users connected to Analytics Cloud.

• This functionality refers to tracking events related to non-default asset types and visualizing the data on a dashboard. From now on, customers will no longer be able to use this specific method to track views of non-default asset types and visualize this data on a dashboard in Analytics Cloud

• Using custom event tracking is the recommended way to track your custom assets from now on.

• This functionality refers to segments that are static groups of users.

• That said, users can now utilize either user group-based segments or dynamic segments instead of static ones moving forward.

Default View and Download permissions for documents have been adjusted to match the behavior prior to the changes introduced in LPD-16744, restoring the expected user experience.

Highlights: 

• The View and Download permissions will be linked by default when uploading documents through the single and multiple file uploaders

• The Permissions configuration UI is improved so users can more easily recognize that the View and Download permissions are separate permissions

• The Download permission is now automatically included when a user shares a document and assigns permissions

We added External Reference Codes for Categories and Tags and their associated API’s, improving their portability for data migration scenarios.

Highlights: 

• Users can now perform CRUD operations using a Tag’s ERC through its headless API (Keyword)

• Users can now perform CRUD operations using a Category’s ERC through its headless API (TaxonomyCategory)

We added External Reference Codes for references in widget configurations in Content Management applications. This helps promote data integrity when pages and their widgets are migrated across environments.

Highlights:

References within the following page widgets now use ERC’s instead of internal ID’s:

• Announcements
• Web Content Display
• Category Filters
• Questions

We added several API endpoints for Documents & Media to improve programmatic management of these entities.

Highlights:

• Users can now add, delete, and retrieve document types via headless API (DocumentDataDefinitionType)

• Users can now add, delete, and retrieve document metadata sets via headless API (DocumentMetadataSet)

It is now possible to subscribe to documents and folders, allowing users to receive notifications when they are updated.

Highlights:

• Users can now subscribe to documents and folders through the “Subscribe” action and through the Subscribe icon in the Info Panel

• If a user subscribes to a folder, all documents and subfolders within it will be automatically subscribed to as well

During the publishing process, users can both define and manage permissions, as well as schedule publication dates for their web content. When creating content for the first time, users will have the opportunity to conveniently review and manage permissions. Furthermore, when editing previously created content, users can also adjust permissions directly from the editor view. Additionally, users can easily select the desired publication date for their content during the publishing process.

• Users can select and reorder categories for a blog’s friendly URL, so they can preview the order of the categories in the friendly URL and determine how the categories will be presented in the friendly URL along with the title.

• Users are able to set different values for the asset types separators in the friendly URLs. Also, they are able to reset to default value, so for those asset types that they have clicked on this option, the separator will be the value defined by default for those specific asset types.

This release expands the support of the Timeline History feature to Blogs, Wiki pages, Bookmarks, Forms, Knowledge base, Message boards, and Categories. The feature enhances the publication toolbar with tools to detect and manage collaboration conflicts.

• A timeline icon shows recent modifications in the same asset, which may have been done in production or parallel Publications.

• The user can view, discard, or move these changes directly from the toolbar.

• Warning icons appear to make users aware of current conflicts in the Publication.

Key benefits:

• Enhanced context for content editors and managers for a streamlined collaboration.

• New capabilities to detect conflicts before publishing time, while users may have more time to decide how to resolve conflicts without the go-live pressure.

This set of improvements aims to simplify the manual work users must do to resolve conflicts when publishing a publication. Now, instead of raising a conflict to be resolved manually by the user, the system will try to overwrite conflicting changes in production with the modifications done in the publication, meaning that the Modification and Modification deletion conflict types won’t be presented for the user anymore.

In the case of a Deletion modification conflict, the system won’t resolve it automatically, but now it makes it easier to keep the modifications made in the publication. In the Conflicting changes screen, we added a button with the option to "Restore in Production" for conflicts in which the asset was deleted from production and is now in the Recycle bin.

Key benefits:

• Reduce the amount of manual work by automatically solving most of the conflicts.

• Improve user satisfaction and reliability on publications by ensuring that assets supported by Recycle Bin can be quickly restored, avoiding requiring the user to discard needed changes.

Provided an option to turn the “Out-of-date” feature on/off. When turned on (the default behavior before this release), ongoing publications created in previous Liferay versions were labeled as “Out-of-date” after the upgrade and could not be modified or published. This feature is now off by default, and users can publish these publications without Liferay support.

Key benefit:

Increase manageability over publications and the ability to publish any previous modification, including after Liferay upgrades.

The two separate option menus currently displayed in the Web Content Display widget have been merged into a single, consolidated dropdown menu for content creators. This new menu will improve the user experience by reducing confusion and unnecessary clicks, ensuring all relevant widget actions (e.g., Hide Widget, Duplicate, Export/Import, etc.) are easily accessible.

Added logging to indicate the completion of fragment deployments via the deploy folder. This provides better visibility into the deployment process and allows for tracking deployment duration.

There are some advantages of including a message like that, for example:

• Count the duration of a deployment

This feature introduces the ability to define and manage custom address types as sub-types of the main address categories—Billing, Shipping, or Billing & Shipping—in Commerce - Account Addresses. This significantly enhances address management flexibility for B2B businesses operating across multiple locations, departments, or stakeholders.

Previously, address management was limited to only two hardcoded types: Shipping and Billing. With this release, businesses can now define additional sub-types (e.g., Ship-to Party, Sold-to Party, Ordering Address, Payer, Disti Branch Officer, DC Delivery Address) through a newly introduced Picklist-based configuration system. These sub-types are configurable and can be mapped directly under one of the three main categories.

This approach ensures compatibility with common ERP systems like SAP, which already support a range of address roles in the order-to-cash process.

Key Benefits:

• Flexible Address Management: B2B businesses can model complex customer hierarchies and logistical operations with precision. Define specific address roles that align with real-world use cases without being restricted to just billing and shipping.
• ERP Integration Ready: Custom sub-types allow seamless data synchronization with ERP systems like SAP, avoiding manual workarounds and ensuring that address roles like Sold-to, Bill-to, and Ship-to are preserved in external systems.
• Improved Order Fulfillment & Compliance: Tailoring address types to real operational needs supports more accurate order routing, fulfillment, and financial processing, while also aligning with internal compliance and invoicing requirements.

This release introduces a new Stripe Tax connector, now available in the Liferay Marketplace, designed to integrate directly with Liferay Commerce’s core transaction flows. This connector enables dynamic, automated tax calculation powered by Stripe Tax, replacing manual or static tax setups with an automated, accurate, and globally compliant solution.

Once installed and configured, the connector calculates taxes automatically at checkout based on the buyer’s shipping address and the seller’s tax registration settings. The integration is especially valuable for businesses operating in tax-complex regions like the United States, where tax rates and rules can vary dramatically between states, counties, and even cities.

By leveraging Stripe Tax through this connector, merchants benefit from seamless tax compliance, transparent pricing for buyers, and simplified tax reporting for administrators.

• Automated Real-Time Tax Calculation
  Eliminate manual tax logic. Taxes are calculated dynamically during checkout using Stripe’s robust tax engine, ensuring accuracy based on product, location, and applicable tax laws.
• Supports Complex U.S. Tax Scenarios
  This is particularly beneficial for merchants selling into the U.S. market, where tax complexity is high. Stripe Tax automatically accounts for state, county, and city-level rules—reducing the burden on sellers.
• Improved Buyer Experience
  Buyers see clear tax breakdowns at checkout, building trust and preventing cart abandonment due to surprise charges.
• Streamlined Operations for Sellers
  Taxes are included in transaction records without seller intervention. Sellers can access tax-inclusive transaction histories and focus on business growth.Streamlined Operations for Sellers
  Taxes are included in transaction records without seller intervention. Sellers can access tax-inclusive transaction histories and focus on business growth.

Guests now have the option to sign in or sign up during the checkout process, directly from the mini-cart. Once logged in, users can either select an existing account or create a new one, ensuring that they can move through the purchase flow smoothly without disruptions. Upon setting the account, guests, now logged-in users, will be redirected to the checkout, making the transition to completing the purchase seamless.

Additionally, if a guest decides to sign in without necessarily checking out, the guest cart will now be merged with their account after logging in. This ensures that any items added to the cart during the guest session are retained when they sign in or select an existing account, improving the continuity and experience for returning users.

It is now possible to view where a document is being displayed on a page.

Key Benefits:

• Users can now view a document’s usages through the “View Usage” action in the entry. This will show all locations where the document is mapped or displayed to the end user

Users now have the ability to update folder names and other details without being able to modify the workflow settings. This ensures there are no security issues and that all content within the folder follows the correct workflow process.

Key Benefits:

• Granting “Update” Permissions: Granting “Update” permissions to a role enables the user to edit a folder's properties, like its name and description.

• Granting “Advance Update” Permissions: Granting “Advance Update” permissions to a role enables the user to update the workflow associated with a folder. The folder's properties, such as name and description fields, remain disabled and cannot be edited.

Microsoft no longer supports Sharepoint versions 2010/2013. See SharePoint Server 2013 - Microsoft Lifecycle and Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 - Microsoft Lifecycle.This feature has been in maintenance mode for a very long time and there is just a very small user base.

We have introduced a new publication size classification feature to help users better manage and plan the publishing process, especially for "large" publications where there are many changes involved. This feature categorizes publications into three tiers: Small, Medium, and Large, based on factors such as the number of changes made and the size of the database. This will allow users to better understand the scale of their publication and take the necessary steps to avoid potential conflicts or performance issues during publishing. Publication Owners are also notified whenever a Publication has changed sizes.

Key Benefits:

• Improved Planning: With the new size classification, users can see the current "size" of their publication and allocate the appropriate time and resources for publishing. This helps avoid rushing through a publishing process that might take longer depending on the publication's size.

• Better Visibility of Potential Impact: The classification provides users with a visual indicator that highlights the size of the publication, offering transparency about what to expect during the publishing process. It also helps reduce the chances of errors or performance issues related to publishing "large" publications.

• Clear Communication: When users hover over the size classification, a helpful tooltip explains what the classification means and the potential consequences for the publishing process, ensuring users have all the information they need to make informed decisions.

This release introduces in-context translation for all the form fields directly within the page editor. This empowers content creators to easily create localized form experiences for their users, enabling them to complete forms in their preferred language. Only designated localizable form fields will be translated, ensuring precise control over localized content.

Key Benefits:

• Faster time to publish localized forms: Translating directly in the editor reduces the steps needed to launch forms in multiple languages.

• Reduces reliance on external tools or workflows: Content teams can manage translations within the same interface they use to build pages, simplifying the process.

• Improves accuracy and consistency: Only the form fields marked as translatable are included, so there's less risk of translating the wrong content or missing something important.

• Better experience for global audiences: Visitors can complete forms in their preferred language, which can increase completion rates and engagement.Gives teams more control over localization: Editors can choose exactly what gets translated and when, without needing developer support.

Field visibility can now be configured based on values within the same custom fragment. This enables fields to dynamically show or hide based on user input, supporting more responsive and context-aware interfaces.

This update gives teams more flexibility when building custom fragments, making it easier to support complex use cases without additional custom code.

Customers very commonly deploy fragments through the deploy folder, we identified that we are missing one log once the fragment import finished. Until now Liferay added a message in the application server logs that show that the fragment import has started, but it never indicates when it finishes. Some advantages of logging when the import process finishes is that customers can check when the deployment is still in progress and when it ends, not only being informed in case of failures.
