This feature introduces the ability to define and manage custom address types as sub-types of the main address categories—Billing, Shipping, or Billing & Shipping—in Commerce - Account Addresses. This significantly enhances address management flexibility for B2B businesses operating across multiple locations, departments, or stakeholders.

Previously, address management was limited to only two hardcoded types: Shipping and Billing. With this release, businesses can now define additional sub-types (e.g., Ship-to Party, Sold-to Party, Ordering Address, Payer, Disti Branch Officer, DC Delivery Address) through a newly introduced Picklist-based configuration system. These sub-types are configurable and can be mapped directly under one of the three main categories.

This approach ensures compatibility with common ERP systems like SAP, which already support a range of address roles in the order-to-cash process.

Key Benefits:

• Flexible Address Management: B2B businesses can model complex customer hierarchies and logistical operations with precision. Define specific address roles that align with real-world use cases without being restricted to just billing and shipping.
• ERP Integration Ready: Custom sub-types allow seamless data synchronization with ERP systems like SAP, avoiding manual workarounds and ensuring that address roles like Sold-to, Bill-to, and Ship-to are preserved in external systems.
• Improved Order Fulfillment & Compliance: Tailoring address types to real operational needs supports more accurate order routing, fulfillment, and financial processing, while also aligning with internal compliance and invoicing requirements.

This release introduces a new Stripe Tax connector, now available in the Liferay Marketplace, designed to integrate directly with Liferay Commerce’s core transaction flows. This connector enables dynamic, automated tax calculation powered by Stripe Tax, replacing manual or static tax setups with an automated, accurate, and globally compliant solution.

Once installed and configured, the connector calculates taxes automatically at checkout based on the buyer’s shipping address and the seller’s tax registration settings. The integration is especially valuable for businesses operating in tax-complex regions like the United States, where tax rates and rules can vary dramatically between states, counties, and even cities.

By leveraging Stripe Tax through this connector, merchants benefit from seamless tax compliance, transparent pricing for buyers, and simplified tax reporting for administrators.

Key Benefits:

• Automated Real-Time Tax Calculation
  Eliminate manual tax logic. Taxes are calculated dynamically during checkout using Stripe’s robust tax engine, ensuring accuracy based on product, location, and applicable tax laws.
• Supports Complex U.S. Tax Scenarios
  This is particularly beneficial for merchants selling into the U.S. market, where tax complexity is high. Stripe Tax automatically accounts for state, county, and city-level rules—reducing the burden on sellers.
• Improved Buyer Experience
  Buyers see clear tax breakdowns at checkout, building trust and preventing cart abandonment due to surprise charges.
• Streamlined Operations for Sellers
  Taxes are included in transaction records without seller intervention. Sellers can access tax-inclusive transaction histories and focus on business growth.Streamlined Operations for Sellers
  Taxes are included in transaction records without seller intervention. Sellers can access tax-inclusive transaction histories and focus on business growth.

Guests now have the option to sign in or sign up during the checkout process, directly from the mini-cart. Once logged in, users can either select an existing account or create a new one, ensuring that they can move through the purchase flow smoothly without disruptions. Upon setting the account, guests, now logged-in users, will be redirected to the checkout, making the transition to completing the purchase seamless.

Additionally, if a guest decides to sign in without necessarily checking out, the guest cart will now be merged with their account after logging in. This ensures that any items added to the cart during the guest session are retained when they sign in or select an existing account, improving the continuity and experience for returning users.

It is now possible to view where a document is being displayed on a page.

Key Benefits:

• Users can now view a document’s usages through the “View Usage” action in the entry. This will show all locations where the document is mapped or displayed to the end user

Users now have the ability to update folder names and other details without being able to modify the workflow settings. This ensures there are no security issues and that all content within the folder follows the correct workflow process.

Key Benefits:

• Granting “Update” Permissions: Granting “Update” permissions to a role enables the user to edit a folder's properties, like its name and description.

• Granting “Advance Update” Permissions: Granting “Advance Update” permissions to a role enables the user to update the workflow associated with a folder. The folder's properties, such as name and description fields, remain disabled and cannot be edited.

Microsoft no longer supports Sharepoint versions 2010/2013. See SharePoint Server 2013 - Microsoft Lifecycle and Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 - Microsoft Lifecycle.This feature has been in maintenance mode for a very long time and there is just a very small user base. Considering the high costs for us in terms of tests maintenance, we decided to deprecate it.

When a user is deleted from DXP, the deletion now happens simultaneously in Analytics Cloud. To enable this, we’ve developed an API that automatically removes the same list of users from both DXP and AC in real time, ensuring data consistency across both systems.

Key Benefits:

• Processing Time: Depending on the number of users deleted, the process may take some time in Analytics Cloud. You can track the progress in Data Control & Privacy > Request Log under “Request Status.”
• Suppression Before Deletion: Each deleted user must first be suppressed before being permanently deleted in Analytics Cloud. As a result, you will see two requests per user—one for suppression and another for deletion.

We’ve introduced a new bulk operations feature that allows you to select multiple changes within a publication and perform actions on them all at once. This feature streamlines the process of managing multiple changes, saving you time and effort when working with large publications.

Key Benefits:

• Efficiency: You can now select multiple changes and perform bulk actions (like moving or discarding them) without needing to handle each change individually. This is particularly helpful in large publications where managing changes one at a time can be cumbersome and time-consuming.
• Improved Workflow: The ability to select and execute multiple operations at once significantly reduces the number of steps needed to manage your content, improving your overall workflow and productivity.

Enhancenment of the review change screen by adding a progress bar to provide clear, visual feedback during the publication process.When you initiate the publication, you’ll now see a progress bar that tracks the status of the publishing process, helping you understand how much time is left before the process is complete.

Key Benefits:

• Better Visual Feedback: The progress bar offers a clear, real-time indication of where you are in the publishing process, so you always know how much time is remaining.

• Enhanced User Experience: With the addition of the progress bar, the publishing process feels more responsive and user-friendly, providing you with a smoother workflow

We have introduced a new publication size classification feature to help users better manage and plan the publishing process, especially for "large" publications where there are many changes involved. This feature categorizes publications into three tiers: Small, Medium, and Large, based on factors such as the number of changes made and the size of the database. This will allow users to better understand the scale of their publication and take the necessary steps to avoid potential conflicts or performance issues during publishing. Publication Owners are also notified whenever a Publication has changed sizes.

Key Benefits:

• Improved Planning: With the new size classification, users can see the current "size" of their publication and allocate the appropriate time and resources for publishing. This helps avoid rushing through a publishing process that might take longer depending on the publication's size.

• Better Visibility of Potential Impact: The classification provides users with a visual indicator that highlights the size of the publication, offering transparency about what to expect during the publishing process. It also helps reduce the chances of errors or performance issues related to publishing "large" publications.

• Clear Communication: When users hover over the size classification, a helpful tooltip explains what the classification means and the potential consequences for the publishing process, ensuring users have all the information they need to make informed decisions.

This release introduces in-context translation for all the form fields directly within the page editor. This empowers content creators to easily create localized form experiences for their users, enabling them to complete forms in their preferred language. Only designated localizable form fields will be translated, ensuring precise control over localized content.

Key Benefits:

• Faster time to publish localized forms: Translating directly in the editor reduces the steps needed to launch forms in multiple languages.

• Reduces reliance on external tools or workflows: Content teams can manage translations within the same interface they use to build pages, simplifying the process.

• Improves accuracy and consistency: Only the form fields marked as translatable are included, so there's less risk of translating the wrong content or missing something important.

• Better experience for global audiences: Visitors can complete forms in their preferred language, which can increase completion rates and engagement.Gives teams more control over localization: Editors can choose exactly what gets translated and when, without needing developer support.

Field visibility can now be configured based on values within the same custom fragment. This enables fields to dynamically show or hide based on user input, supporting more responsive and context-aware interfaces.

This update gives teams more flexibility when building custom fragments, making it easier to support complex use cases without additional custom code.

Customers very commonly deploy fragments through the deploy folder, we identified that we are missing one log once the fragment import finished. Until now Liferay added a message in the application server logs that show that the fragment import has started, but it never indicates when it finishes. Some advantages of logging when the import process finishes is that customers can check when the deployment is still in progress and when it ends, not only being informed in case of failures.

This feature enable the creation of multi steps forms in Page Editor.

Allow users to modify only the first collection display item.

The existing documentation for Clay components and the API Table has been inconsistent in quality, often lacking detailed explanations and practical examples. This inconsistency makes it difficult for developers to effectively utilise these components, leading to confusion and an increased number of support requests.

Key Benefits:

• Developers now have a better mechanism for generating API Tables for components, improving the overall understanding of component usage and available APIs. With detailed explanations and real-world examples.

• With this new standardised documentation practices we can ensure a uniform quality and completeness across all components.

• Clearer, more structured, and more practical documentation will reduce frustration and improve the development process.

• Clearer documentation minimizes the need for external support, freeing up resources and improving response times.

We integrated the Clay Table's column visibility dropdown and column sorting functionalities into the Frontend Data Set. This makes a unified approach to table interactions across Liferay, replacing inconsistent custom implementations.

Key Benefits:

• A more standard column visibility and sorting that guarantee a more usable and predictable interaction across the platform.

• Reduces redundant code by aligning with the Clay Table’s native functionalities.

• Developers no longer need to manage multiple implementations for similar features.

• Ensures UI and UX consistency with Liferay’s design system.

Style Books in Liferay are now explicitly tied to a specific theme at the moment of creation, using the frontend token definition provided by that theme (via OSGi or themeCSS client extension). This structural link now ensures that each Style Book can only operate within the boundaries of its associated theme, eliminating cross-theme token contamination and enforcing clearer theme-based design governance.

Key Benefits:

• Users can no longer save Style Books that accidentally combine tokens from different themes, avoiding visual inconsistencies and design regressions.

• Every Style Book now visibly shows which theme it belongs to, reducing errors and making it easier for teams to manage design assets across multiple sites.

• When applying a Style Book to a page, the system will only list those created with the same theme as the page’s current one—no more trial-and-error or guesswork.

• If a Style Book becomes incompatible with the applied theme (e.g., after a theme change), it will be automatically unlinked to prevent display issues.

• During platform upgrades, existing Style Books are automatically linked to the site’s current public theme (as defined in Site Builder > Pages > Options > Configuration), reducing manual cleanup work.

• If a Style Book is imported without a valid themeId, the user gets a clear warning and knows exactly what’s missing to fix the import.

• Style Books based on themes that are no longer deployed or no longer provide a valid frontend token definition are automatically marked as inactive—clearly flagged and non-selectable.

• The OSGi or themeCSS client extension ID is displayed for inactive Style Books, helping devs or admins identify which theme needs to be re-installed or fixed.

With the release of Liferay DXP 2025.Q2, we are deprecating the Elasticsearch 7 compatibility due to the end-of-maintenance and upcoming EOL of the Elastic Stack 7.17.

In the next releases more and more Data Sets will be added to the list.
 

Key Benefits

• This epic increases the flexibility of Liferay DXP by enabling partial customization of previously hardcoded Data Sets.

• Admins will have more control over the user experience, enhancing the platform's ability to meet diverse and evolving business requirements.

• This also reduces the need for custom development efforts to modify or replace hardcoded Data Sets.

When an admin user is managing a Data Set, they might create sorting options, filters and actions. Until now, if the admin user chose not to show them to the end-user, they had to be deleted. From now on, these sub-entities can be deactivated, hiding them from the end-user without losing editing progress.

Key Benefits:

• Easier management of sub-entities without requiring deletion and recreation.
• Improved usability by allowing admins to configure visibility dynamically.
• More flexibility in defining experiences without modifying underlying data.

Improved the usability, functionality, and consistency of bulk actions in Frontend Data Sets across Liferay DXP.

DXP is now certified for use with the MySQL 8.4 database version. Also applies to 2025.Q1 LTS.

Key Benefits:

Allows users to update to the latest LTS version of MySQL database. As an LTS release, MySQL 8.4 is the most stable and predictable version for production environments since it receives bug fixes and security patches for an extended period from Oracle. This longer support window reduces the need for frequent major upgrades.

Liferay DXP now allows on-demand migration of Virtual Instances across different installations, making existing environments portable and easier to manage—especially in cloud-based deployments. Whether you're moving from on-premise to Liferay SaaS, or just shifting between environments (like UAT to Production) on the same installation, this feature simplifies the process by allowing instances to be migrated, instead of the entire database.

Feature can be enabled with Beta Feature Flag: LPD-11342

With the upcoming release of Jakarta and new application server versions, Liferay is focused on becoming a full feature enterprise platform. Supporting Java 17 prevents usage of Java 21 features that will improve performance and reduce cloud costs. We are marking Java 17 for deprecation as we plan to fully focus on Java 21 in 2026.

This feature aims to enable all fields of an object to be localizable and displayed according to the user's chosen locale settings.

Key Benefits:

• The localization feature will support all existing locales in the system

• Custom Object entries and Modifiable System Objects entries

• Localization settings are now managed at the individual field level

This feature provides a way for customers to consume object validations and manage the experience for end users as they require.

Key Benefits:

• In multi-step forms, end user data can be validated in each step without persisting the data

Data from third party systems can now be managed in DXP through the use of Proxy Objects. Customers can now rely on a transversal OAuth 2 with proper SSO implementation to display data in DXP with the use of Liferay’s low code frontend application building capabilities.

Important: Because the data does not persist in Liferay’s database, some limitations are placed on proxy objects. Learn more.

Managing and synchronizing content across multiple environments just became easier and more reliable. With this release, Liferay expands the capabilities of the Batch Engine by introducing two powerful enhancements:

1. Batch Delete by External Reference Code – Users can now delete items using external reference codes instead of internal IDs, making batch deletions simpler and more consistent across environments.

2. Import Strategy Support for Deletion – When performing a batch delete, users can now define whether the operation should be partial (stop on error) or complete (continue even if some items fail), offering more control and fault tolerance during the process.

Together, these updates streamline how teams manage bulk deletions—especially in environments that rely on external identifiers or require consistent data maintenance across staging, production, and other instances.

Key Benefits:

• More reliable environment synchronization: External Reference Codes allow you to delete the same entities across different environments without depending on internal IDs, reducing risk of mismatches.

• Simplified bulk deletion workflows: Deleting large sets of data is now easier, with fewer manual steps and lower chance of errors.

• Greater control over delete operations: Choose whether the process should stop on errors or complete fully—helping teams tailor the behavior to fit their operational needs.

• Increased resilience and fault tolerance: Deletion jobs are less likely to fail entirely due to minor issues, ensuring smoother maintenance processes.

• Consistent support across entities: These enhancements are available for all entity types supported by the batch engine, making them broadly applicable across different use cases.

In order to add more flexibility to every execution in batch engine, we have added a new parameter ( batchExternalReferenceCode ) to be capable to send it to the backend without updating the ERC of the import task.

Key Benefits:

• Simplicity of execution with one parameter for each purpose.

• Add new capabilities for all entities that supports batch.

We made sure to be able to configure the most relevant SCIM providers by implementing their specifications(Microsoft Entra, Cyber Ark, etc.)

Key Benefits:

Implementing SCIM endpoints from top identity providers streamlines and secures user management by enabling automated provisioning, deprovisioning, and syncing of user data across platforms. This enhances security, ensures compliance, reduces manual work, and improves consistency and user experience. With standardized interoperability, it also future-proofs integrations and boosts operational efficiency while offering better visibility and control over identity lifecycle events

Captcha engine needs to be configurable on instance level to satisfy the multi-tenant environments' need. That has to be possible to configure them for one instance without interfering with the configuration for other instances.

Key Benefits:

Enabling CAPTCHA at the Instance level adds flexibility in configurations without affecting global settings. This supports tailored security and user experiences, and enables compliance per instance, all while retaining centralized control when needed

It’s going to be available without enabling the BETA flag, and from now it’s officially supported.

When issues happen during maintenance periods, end users saw an unbranded default maintenance page. This leaves part of the user flow unattended, with customers unable to forward users to the correct next steps. Setting up and managing maintenance pages that work when DXP is down requires technical skills that not all customers possess, making it impractical for many.

Now we allow customers to upload a maintenance page they designed, fitting their brand and instructing customers on what to do. The implementation functions indepedently from their DXP instance so, as soon as they detect a downtime, they can enable the maintenance page in their Cloud Console to be displayed for their users while they address the issue that caused the downtime.

Configuring the scaling behaviour of Liferay is not simple. Customers are required to have a deep understanding of how their application' metrics behave to set their thresholds. Since charges are also incurred depending on the hours and instances scaled, customers can feel confused on the value they are being invoiced. 

That’s why we allowed for customers to set the maximum and minimum number of scaled instances in their Cloud Console scaling page. This means non-technical customers now can control how little or how much they want to spend in scaling their application. Allowing them pinpoint precision when balancing between improved user experience with more instances, and the increase in costs associated with that.

The Liferay Developer Studio installer now includes JDK 21 as a selectable option if it’s available, simplifying the initial setup and providing a more convenient and user-friendly experience for developers wanting to use the latest Java version supported by Liferay.

This initiative focuses on developing a dedicated "Publisher Page" on the Liferay Marketplace. This page will serve as a public profile for each vendor or seller, showcasing their products, brand, and relevant information like company description, company logo and a contact us form to reach out the publisher directly.

The enhancement aims to improve the overall Marketplace experience by:

• Providing greater visibility and credibility for publishers.

• Enabling customers to make more informed purchasing decisions.

• Fostering a stronger connection between publishers and customers.

• Offering publishers a new avenue for marketing and branding.

Implement multi-currency support to enable marketplace to display product prices in various currencies.

Phase 1- publisher workflow

This feature aims to enhance user experience by allowing publisher to set the price of their apps in multiple currencies during the publisher workflow which are:

• Euro (mandatory)

• USD (mandatory)

This release introduces several key improvements across the new Order Pages:

1. Dedicated Shipping Tab for Placed Orders: A new "Shipping" tab has been added to the Order Pages specifically for placed orders, providing a clear and organized view of shipping details for buyers.

2. Modular Order Summary Fragment: The existing "Order Summary" type for the InfoBox fragment has been removed and replaced with a new, more flexible "Order Summary" fragment. This allows for displaying individual fields from the order summary.

3. Enhanced Order Items Table: The Order Items listing table now features Search and Pagination capabilities, making it easier for buyers to navigate and find specific items within large orders.

4. Automated Channel Defaults Application: When a Channel Default (including Addresses, Payment/Delivery Terms, Shipping Options, Payment Options) is configured for an account, the selected default will now be automatically applied to new orders, streamlining the order creation process for buyers.

5. Advanced Placed Orders Search: You can now search by Shipping Address fields directly within the Placed Orders list, offering more granular control for buyers when locating their specific orders.

6. Renamed "Notes" Tab: The "Notes" tab in the Orders Admin UI has been renamed to "Questions & Answers" to align with the updated UI in the new Order Pages, improving consistency across the platform for administrators.

Highlight Key benefits:

1. Improved Clarity and Organization: Easily access shipping information and view order summaries in a more structured, modular format.

2. Enhanced Efficiency: Quickly find specific order items with new search and pagination, and save time with automatic application of channel defaults.

3. Consistent User Experience: Enjoy a more unified and predictable interface across different order management sections, reducing confusion and improving usability.

4. Better Data Management: Gain more powerful tools for searching and managing your placed orders, allowing for faster problem resolution and data retrieval.

5. Streamlined Workflows: Automate the application of default settings, reducing manual input and potential errors during order processing.

We've introduced a new toggle within the Channel Details section, labeled "Hide Orders List in the Account Selector".

This new setting allows you to configure whether the list of open orders is displayed or hidden from the account selector interface for a specific channel. By default, the orders list is visible, and the "Hide Orders List in the Account Selector" toggle is set to off. When activated, the open orders list will no longer appear, providing a cleaner, more streamlined view.

Highlight Key benefits:

1. Enhanced Privacy: For channels where order visibility is not desired or necessary for all users, this toggle provides an immediate way to restrict that information.

2. Improved User Experience: Reduce visual clutter in the account selector, making it easier for users to focus on relevant account information without being distracted by a potentially long list of orders.

3. Greater Flexibility: Tailor the display of each channel to better suit its specific use case and audience, offering a more customized and efficient experience.

We've introduced a brand new Upload option type for products. This option allows buyers to seamlessly upload a file directly during the purchase process.

Similar to our existing product options, the Upload option can be configured either in the Options UI or directly within the Product Options UI. Merchants also have the flexibility to mark this option as "Required", ensuring that a file upload is mandatory before a product can be purchased. Please note that this new Upload option is not eligible for SKU contribution.

In the storefront, the Upload option will appear as a disabled text input field, which will display the name of the uploaded file. Alongside this, buyers will see clear "Select" and "Clear" buttons to manage their file uploads.

Highlight Key benefits:

1. Enhanced Customization:Provides buyers with the ability to personalize products by uploading their own files.

2. Broader Product Offerings:Enables merchants to offer and sell products that require customer-provided assets, such as custom prints or personalized items.

3. Improved Buyer Workflow:Integrates file uploads directly into the purchasing flow, creating a more cohesive experience for custom orders.

This enhancement allows administrators to seamlessly duplicate an existing role along with all of its current permissions.

Similar to creating a new role from scratch, Role Duplication can be initiated directly from the Roles list. Administrators can simply select an existing role, choose Duplicate, and assign a unique name to the new role. The system then creates a fully configured duplicate, including all existing permissions, and redirects the administrator to the Role Details page for further adjustments.

Please note that only the role’s current permissions are copied at the time of duplication. If new applications are deployed later, their permissions are not automatically added to the duplicated role.

Highlight Key Benefits:

• Faster Role Setup: Quickly create new roles by reusing an existing permissions set without manual configuration.

• Consistency Across Roles: Maintain uniform permission structures across similar roles, reducing the risk of errors.

• Scalable Administration: Streamline management in large environments where many roles share similar access patterns.

This feature introduces the ability to define and manage custom address types as sub-types of the main address categories—Billing, Shipping, or Billing & Shipping—in Commerce - Account Addresses. This significantly enhances address management flexibility for B2B businesses operating across multiple locations, departments, or stakeholders.

Previously, address management was limited to only two hardcoded types: Shipping and Billing. With this release, businesses can now define additional sub-types (e.g., Ship-to Party, Sold-to Party, Ordering Address, Payer, Disti Branch Officer, DC Delivery Address) through a newly introduced Picklist-based configuration system. These sub-types are configurable and can be mapped directly under one of the three main categories.

This approach ensures compatibility with common ERP systems like SAP, which already support a range of address roles in the order-to-cash process.
