With our latest enhancements,  Content Admins will enjoy effortless content organization, regardless of folder structures, along with enhanced filtering capabilities for precision content management discovery. 

Features added in this Release:

Better experience to manage web content

In response to user feedback, several enhancements have been introduced for content creators. The first functionality addresses the challenge of easily finding and managing Web Content created within specific structures, allowing creators to review and edit content more efficiently. The other functionalities enable refined filtering and searching options, including the ability to search in the title, filter by categories and tag, filter search results and multi-select filters.

The Path Analysis tool has been enhanced with the addition of Exit Pages. This feature allows marketers to not only visualize users' entry points (referrer pages), but also their exit points (exit pages). With this user flow analysis, marketers can enhance user engagement and reduce bounce rates.

We have expanded the capabilities of AB Testing to allow the selection of a Collection Display Fragment as the Click Goal of an AB Test. This will allow customers to AB Test the clickthrough rate of different Collections or Collection Providers, empowering them to optimize which content is shown to end users.

Now, users are able to fill out object entries in parts, allowing them to save data as draft and return at their convenience to complete.

Our new Bulk Permission Management empowers administrators to modify access rights for multiple pages effortlessly. This new feature offers a multitude of benefits:

• Effortless Management: Save valuable time by managing permissions for multiple pages simultaneously.
• Enhanced Security: Gain complete visibility into page access, ensuring all intended audiences can access the content they need.
• Optimized Accessibility: Quickly identify pages not accessible to Guests and make adjustments for optimal user experience.

The Category Facet uses assetVocabularyCategoryIds field for aggregation. The required mapping and indexer changes have been available since 7.4 GA46/U46 (LPS-156503: Display, Scope and Filter Categories by Vocabulary in the Category Facet).

Note: Reindex is required after all upgrades.

A new set of tooling is being provided, to centralize all the different tooling into a single solution, therefore, stand-alone tooling like the Fragments Toolkit does not make sense anymore as a stand-alone tool. In addition to that, the fragment toolkit needed upgrades to prevent some vulnerabilities that could happen. Therefore, we recommend adopting other solutions for now. The Fragment Toolkit will remain available for a minimum of one year. 

Now, users are able to visually understand the structure of their objects and how they connect with each other to result in the platform model.

Allow clients to request a quote for individual products instead of setting a price. Includes the option to use a Price List or a Promotion to price the Product as "Price on Application". There is also the ability to activate the "Request a quote" option on a fully priced cart for a particular channel.

Sell and manage SKUs by adding different Units of Measure to the SKU. Configure the Unit of Measure to optionally allow for sales in decimal quantities. Units of Measure have their own pricing and inventory. Once configured, they add to the shopping experience of the buyer who can now purchase SKUs in different Units of measure.

Used in Conjunction with Supplier Accounts, this object's rule, once configured, splits Commerce Orders automatically by the Catalog that each Product belongs to. The Channel on the Order is updated to be the channel linked to the same supplier that the catalog is linked to. The order splitting rule effectively allows the supplier to manage orders for their own specific products.

New Account Type of Supplier. A Supplier can be linked to a catalog and to a channel to allow the supplier manage their own products, price lists, promotions, catalogs, discounts, inventory and channel in order to be able to fulfill orders for their own products.

With this improvement, the Data Migration Center allows users to export and import Object Entries using CSV files. Not all field types are supported but many of the most used ones are:

Supported field types: dateandtime, date, decimal, integer, longint, longtext, precissiondecimal, richtext, text and picklist.

In order to help users, only supported fields are available for exporting at the UI. As new types are allowed, they will appear available in the UI.

We are excited to introduce enhancements to streamline your cloud management experience! With our updated cloud console view, you will have a detailed breakdown of subscription metrics per environment, empowering you to manage resources more effectively. Additionally, our new storage consumption tracker offers real-time insights into project storage usage, ensuring you're always informed about quota limits.

Under all supported formats, users can select the origin and destination site of the data so it is possible to export and import object entries between any site.

We refactored the way Liferay scripts were managed, so admins can define stricter policies like:

script-src '[$NONCE$]'; script-src-attr 'unsafe-inline';

Limitations: If a policy like the one above is configured, the parts of the product that uses a rich-text editor will not work correctly. Analyze your scenario to identify how strict your policy can be in order to make the solution work.

With this development, the publication of Knowledge Base articles will be schedulable, in particular, the feature is so designed:

• The primary Publish button will have an arrow down with the “Publish” option, that will immediately publish the article, and the “Schedule” one.

• Clicking the Schedule option, will make a modal appear so the user can set a date and time for the article to be published.

• The Scheduled article will have the SCHEDULED status that will change to APPROVED on the scheduled date

• A tooltip with the scheduled date information will appear when hovering the question-circle-full icon placed next to the SCHEDULED state.

• Editing a scheduled article will provide the user the ability, by clicking the primary button that has turned into “Scheduled”, to:

  • Cancel the operation

  • Publish Now

  • Schedule: this option will save the article, date & time changes and the user will return to the previous screen before entering edit mode

• Additional feature: A Knowledge Base article deletion action will move it to the Recycle Bin so that it can be restored.

Now, admins can customize the configuration of the Rich Text Editors with this new client extension, allowing them to set the toolbars that are available on different applications. In the form, you will have to define the instances in which the configuration will be taken into account as well as the JS that contains the configuration:

This feature allows you to leverage the functions of Liferay’s caching framework. Our current measurements indicate about 10%/30% performance increase in database writing operations, also 10 times faster reading performance!

Now users can configure the values for the following properties from settings (system, instance or site settings):

• session.timeout.auto.extend
• session.timeout.auto.extend.offset
