[oXygen-user] [ANN] Version 6.1 of Oxygen Content Fusion Introduces Due Dates, Single Sign-On, and More!

[Alin Belu]

Hello everyone,

We are proud to announce the immediate availability for *Oxygen Content 
Fusion 6.1*, the web-based collaboration platform for content creation!

Version 6.1 introduces exciting new features, such as the *Due Date for 
review tasks*, to ensure effective project management. The due date is 
visible in various places in the user interface and reviewers will 
receive email notifications to remind them that they need to finalize 
their task in time.

*Single Sign-On support* is another much requested feature. This is now 
available by using OpenID Connect, thus allowing users to authenticate 
using an organization's SSO system, offering a secure and simplified 
login procedure. Existing Oxygen Content Fusion users with an account 
created via LDAP or sign up can use a third party app that implements 
the OpenID Connect protocol.

With the new *Comment-only Review Mode*, task owners will now have 
better control as it allows them to limit the reviewers to only have the 
ability to add comments without changing the content. This ensures that 
the document content is always seen in its original form by all reviewers.

The newly introduced *Request Re-Review* action enables task owners to 
request additional reviews should the need arise (a typical scenario for 
utilizing this feature is after addressing comments provided by other 
collaborators and requiring a review of these new change). This resets 
the status of the review from Finalized to In Progress for all reviewers 
and they will also be notified via email that there is a request to 
review the task again.

Oxygen Content Fusion 6.1 also ensures a superior degree of *control 
over finalized review status* even when other collaborators make changes 
to documents within the task. The Finalized state will change for that 
particular user only if they make changes to the task documents, or if a 
task owner either re-opens the task or requests a re-review of the task.

*Review status information* is explicitly detailed, showing the number 
of reviewers assigned to the task and their finalized review status. 
Seamless integration with Oxygen XML Editor/Author is better handled by 
*allowing tasks to be marked as Integrated once complete*. The tasks in 
the Integrated state cannot be edited and are hidden by default, thus 
enabling you to remain focused only on the tasks that you are actively 
working on. In the web interface, the hidden integrated tasks can be 
displayed on demand.

Now, both task owners and reviewers have the ability to add files to a 
task, either by *uploading an existing file* or by *creating a new file 
from a template*. Moreover, keeping track of tasks has been made easier 
with a sortable list, and the Task Activity page has been redesigned to 
provide users with a view of all the changes made by collaborators. 
Clicking on a file name now opens a comparison view of the document, 
highlighting all modifications made in a clear manner.
