Previously, comments might have been trapped in the Liferay UI; now, they are first-class citizens in the API, allowing for seamless discussion threads across any connected platform.

Liferay has expanded its Headless API capabilities to include full management of Object Entry comments. When commenting is enabled for an Object definition, developers can now interact with those discussions via dedicated REST endpoints. This update supports full CRUD operations (GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE) using External Reference Codes (ERCs) for easier identification across systems.

Key Benefits:

 

• Feature Parity for External Applications: Developers building custom front-ends can now provide a fully interactive "social" experience.

• Complete CRUD Capabilities: Users aren't just able to read comments; users can programmatically create, update, and delete them.

Customers can now leverage a Liferay Toolkit to quickly and reliably spin-up Liferay in AWS. By leveraging our toolkit, customers can speed-up their deployments, as well as benefit from a robust and reliable infrastructure that reduces costs and increases predictability in the long run. 

Key Benefits:

• Increased visibility of Liferay Application and every other application in your EKS cluster;

• Reliable deployment process with easier to spot drifts;

• Operational cost reduction for running Liferay in AWS.

The Digital Sales Rooms provide a streamlined experience where sales representatives can quickly launch branded deal portals using pre-configured site templates. Within these rooms, a centralized content hub allows for the seamless sharing and management of documents, proposals, and multimedia assets, ensuring all stakeholders are aligned on the latest versions.

To drive proactive sales strategies, the platform includes an Engagement Tracking Dashboard that monitors buyer activity in real-time, highlighting which assets are being viewed or downloaded. Collaboration is facilitated through a persistent commenting system that keeps deal-related discussions in context, while a library of specialized Page Fragments allows teams to build tailored, visually engaging buyer experiences, such as milestone timelines and video introductions, without requiring technical design skills.

Access is managed through a secure, account-based invitation flow, ensuring that sensitive deal data.

Key Benefits:

 

• Accelerated Deal Velocity: By centralizing documents and approvals, DSR reduces the friction caused by "lost" emails and versioning confusion, leading to faster decision-making cycles.

• Data-Driven Sales Strategy: Engagement analytics allow Sales Reps to gauge buyer "heat" levels, knowing exactly which stakeholders are active and which documents are most interesting, enabling more targeted follow-ups.

• Professionalized Buyer Experience: Provides B2B buyers with a modern, self-service portal that is consistently branded and easy to navigate, reinforcing the seller’s position as a premium partner.

• Reduced IT Overhead: The no-code site creation flow empowers non-technical staff, such as Sales Engineers or Account Executives, to spin up secure environments without intervention from the IT department.

The platform now features a "Reset Consent for All Users" button located within the Instance Settings under the Platform configuration for Terms of Use.

When an administrator activates this button, the system automatically resets the agreedToTermsOfUse flag for every account in the instance, which effectively forces all users to review and accept the current legal version upon their next login.

To ensure complete transparency, this action triggers a specialized AGREED_TO_TERMS_OF_USE audit event rather than a standard user update log. This dedicated event captures critical metadata within its payload, specifically the articleId and groupId, to provide definitive proof of exactly which version of the terms was active at the time of the reset.

Key Benefits:

 

• Regulatory Compliance: Easily prove exactly which version of your legal terms a user accepted, simplifying audits for GDPR, CCPA, or internal legal reviews.

• Operational Efficiency: Eliminates the need for manual workarounds or technical intervention when legal documents are updated; a single click handles the entire user base.

• Granular Reporting: By using a dedicated audit event instead of a generic update flag, administrators can filter logs more effectively to monitor compliance trends and completion rates.

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.

As part of Liferay strategy to increase product led growth, we are going to offer a free tier version of our CMS with some key limitations to allow users to test and interact with the product enough to understand if the product meets their needs.

To make this possible, we need to implement how the tiers (Free and Enterprise) will affect the product and how these customers can move from the Free to the Enterprise through the product.

Key Benefits:

 

• Lower Barrier to Entry: Users can start building and testing their ideas immediately without upfront investment, making it easier to validate the CMS for their specific needs.
