Furthermore, when editing previously created content, users can also adjust permissions directly from the editor view. Additionally, users can easily select the desired publication date for their content during the publishing process.

Until now, there was no way in batch engine to export and import object entries and their permissions simultaneously. This new capability allows users to do that, streamlining workflows and reducing manual effort.
Key benefits:
Execution in only one call.
Possibility for users to choose to take into account (or not) permissions with object entries.
Implemented proactive access token management with automated email notifications. Users will now receive alerts 1 month, 10 days, and 1 day prior to token expiration, allowing for timely renewal and preventing service disruptions. Notifications are automatically cancelled if a new token is generated.
Key benefits:
Users are notified before token expiration, allowing for timely renewal and uninterrupted access.
Reducing administrative overhead, as automated notifications eliminate the need for manual monitoring and intervention.
By prompting timely renewals, the risk of using expired and potentially compromised tokens is minimized.
Data imports, using batch engine, now allows users to preserve content creator information (if required). Previously, imported content with batch was always assigned the user performing the import, resulting in loss of original authorship data when moving content. This update ensures accurate attribution of content ownership (if required).
Key benefits:
Able to keep critical user information during data promotion between environments
Can be configured separately per import process
You can use Liferay’s revamped organization management chart to view, manage, and search through organizations, associated accounts, and users. Users with permissions can now view or edit more details of it on the chart.
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:
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.
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.
