The OpenSearch 2 connector is transitioning to Generally Available (GA). A new version of the application is expected to be released on Liferay Marketplace for 2026.Q1 later in Q1 (by the end of March, tentative).
Release Notes
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.
Generally Available (aka OOTB)
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. |
Assets that are currently being modified within a publication are now protected from deletion in production by default. Previously, this behavior was optional and disabled by default. It is now enforced automatically to ensure greater stability and data integrity when working with publications. Key Benefits:
