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.

Adding OpenID Connect and Facebook authentication options to the Sign-In utility page.

Enhancements to the consent renewal configuration ensuring consistent field placement, controlled activation flow, and improved usability through date-based selection for renewal and dissent periods.

Key Benefits:

• Consistent and intuitive configuration: Standardized field positioning and enabled-only editing reduce confusion and misconfiguration.

• Improved usability and precision: Date selector support allows more accurate and user-friendly management of renewal and dissent periods.

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:

• Continuous user control: End users can easily revisit and modify or withdraw their consent at any time.

• Flexible configuration: Administrators can enable, disable, and customize the floating icon to match site needs and design.

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.

Include page fragments interactions for Analytics Cloud performance tracking. Previously, only assets displayed via native widgets (portlets) were instrumented for performance metrics

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.

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.

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.

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.

Building on the automated database repair routines introduced in 2025.Q4, Liferay DXP continues to expand the set of repair processes that run during the upgrade. Based on additional research into customer upgrade issues, new repair routines automatically identify and correct further sources of database inconsistencies, orphan references, and invalid data — before they cause upgrade failures or performance bottlenecks. These repair routines remain targeted at known issues with data structures only, keeping your critical data content safe. Details of each repair process continue to be provided for review in the Upgrade Report after the database upgrade completes.

Key Benefits:

• Minimize risks for current and future upgrades

• Automates data maintenance

Search re-indexing has been optimized to deliver shorter re-index windows, especially for Objects-heavy deployments. In testing against production databases and architecture, we observed re-index improvements of 2x or more across the evaluated datasets, with gains reaching up to 10x on specific workloads. The optimizations primarily targeted improvements that scale with the volume and complexity of Object data being indexed.

Key Benefits:

• Shorter re-index windows reduce maintenance overhead and downtime risk

• Validated on a production-equivalent distributed architecture

• Largest impact for Objects-heavy installations

When using the Liferay DXP Database Partitioning feature, the system now enforces strict access controls ensuring only the authorized database partition is accessible for any given request. This completes foundational security work and extends proper enforcement to all Liferay entry points, including Headless APIs and Client Extensions.

Key Benefits:

• Prevents unauthorized cross-partition data access in multi-tenant environments

• Ensures consistent partition access enforcement across all Liferay entry points (Headless, Client Extensions)

This is a major version release that brings important platform updates and security enhancements alongside several necessary breaking changes to ensure the continued delivery and stability of Liferay Developer Studio.

Key Benefits:

• Eclipse Platform Update: The underlying platform was updated to Eclipse 2025.12, taking advantage of the latest features and security updates from Eclipse. For more information, please see https://eclipse.dev/eclipse/news/4.38/.

• Blade Version Update: The packaged Blade version was updated to 8.0.1-SNAPSHOT.

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

The Questions Widget is a legacy application that was primarily maintained to support Liferay Ask. With the recent migration from Ask to Discuss (Liferay's new forum platform), this widget is no longer needed. Therefore, the Questions Widget is being deprecated to reduce technical debt and ongoing maintenance costs.

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

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

• >Move assets in bulk
