We’ve redesigned the Global Menu to deliver a more intuitive, scalable, and visually engaging navigation experience across Liferay DXP. This update introduces a single, unified entry point to access all platform capabilities, reducing fragmentation and making it easier to move across features. As part of this transformation, the DXP Control Panel has also been rebuilt with a cleaner UI, improved information architecture, live filtering for faster discovery, and a simplified landing home with contextual shortcuts.

Beta
We are excited to announce the arrival of the Native Elasticsearch 8 Connector. This isn't just a version update; it’s a foundational shift that ensures Liferay DXP remains at the cutting edge of search and AI technology. As it was communicated in 2025, Elasticsearch 7 has reached end-of-life on Jan 15, 2026 and is no longer available as a supported search engine for Liferay DXP 2026.Q1 and onward. Part of this shift, 2026.Q1 ships with a native Elasticsearch 8 connector, replacing the previous Elasticsearch 7 connector, which had provided a compatibility plus mode to operate Liferay DXP with Elasticsearch 8 servers since 2023. Key Benefits:
The Bottom Line: This update transitions Liferay from "compatibility mode" to "innovation mode," providing a faster, smarter, and more stable search foundation for your enterprise. |
Deployments currently operating Liferay DXP with Elasticsearch 7 have to upgrade their Elastic stack to Elasticsearch 8.19 before upgrading Liferay DXP to 2026.Q1.

Semantic Search with OpenAI Integration (GA) [For LES Subscribers only] Semantic search, powered by direct integration with OpenAI as a text embedding provider, has officially moved from Beta to General Availability (GA). Configuration & Opt-in To ensure zero impact on existing installations, this feature remains opt-in. To begin leveraging semantic search, administrators must manually configure the connection:

Liferay has enhanced the Publications List and Review Changes screens by introducing automated state persistence for table configurations. Publication users can now save their customizations for their view—including filters, column ordering, and sorting. These preferences are captured directly in the URL, allowing users to return via browser navigation, save specific views as bookmarks, or share their exact configuration with teammates via a simple link. This update eliminates the need for repetitive manual setup, allowing users to maintain a consistent and focused workspace.
Key Benefits:
Seamless Workflow Continuity: Supports a more fluid navigation experience. Users can jump between different portal management areas and return to Publications without losing their place or their preferred data view.
Personalized Review Experience: Empowers different roles to configure the Review Changes screen exactly how they need it to perform their specific duties.
Enhanced Productivity: By persisting the table state, the platform reduces the mental load on users, helping them focus on the content changes themselves rather than the interface management.

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:
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. |
A user-centric consent management approach where consent preferences are securely stored on the server and linked to a registered user account, enabling a persistent, cross-device experience while maintaining user control and compliance.
Key Benefits:
Seamless experience: Users are not repeatedly prompted for consent across devices or after clearing browser data.
Stronger compliance & control: Consent is centrally managed, auditable, and can be optionally restricted by the user for cross-device storage.
Generally Available (aka OOTB)
A configurable consent access mechanism that allows administrators to enable and customize a persistent floating icon, giving end users continuous access to the Consent Panel after the initial banner interaction.
Key Benefits:

We’ve introduced the ability to import and export categories and tags directly within the new CMS. This feature allows you to manage your site’s organization in bulk, removing the need to create or edit every individual item one by one.
Key Benefits:
Saves Time: Quickly set up or update large lists of categories and tags through a single file upload rather than manual entry.
Better Accuracy: Easily audit and clean up your tags in a spreadsheet to ensure consistent naming and organization across your entire site.

This epic is focused on implementing targeted improvements to the import/export translations functionality. In the past, due to resource and time constraints, we were not able to fully optimize the user experience for this feature. This work is aimed at addressing those known shortcomings, specifically by improving the UX and the functionality of key buttons and drag and drop for uploading items, to make the process more intuitive and user-friendly.

The product currently relies on a legacy CMS alongside a newly developed CMS, requiring parallel maintenance, duplicated functionality, and fragmented content workflows. This increases operational cost, slows down feature delivery, and creates inconsistencies in how content is managed and consumed.
This epic aims to inform the users that we are putting the current CMS in maintainance mode, preparing the field to add the feature flag in next releases
Key Benefits:
Inform the users about the features set as In Maintenance
During the reviewing of the CMS experience and fixing bugs, we detected some product gaps and improvements that can make the user experience smoother, so this epic’s goal is to tackle them to ensure a stable and reliable user experience.
Key Benefits:
Allow to search members in a space for non admin users
Improved category creation
Filter by space for content structures
List view for Space home view

We have introduced several new bulk actions to the CMS to help you manage large volumes of content more efficiently. Instead of handling items individually, you can now perform complex administrative tasks across multiple selections simultaneously.
Key Benefits:
Assign Workflow for Content Structures in bulk
Expire content in bulk
Delete versions of a content in bulk
Export translations of different content in bulk
Generally Available (aka OOTB)
As part of improving asset management efficiency, this epic introduces bulk Copy and Move actions for assets within the CMS. These actions will allow content creators to organize and duplicate multiple assets at once, across locations in Spaces they have access to. The functionality should maintain the same user experience principles and behavior as the existing single-asset Copy and Move actions, extended to handle multiple selections simultaneously.
Key Benefits:
Copy assets in bulk
