What's New in Oxygen Content Fusion 6.1
Related version: 6.0
Oxygen Content Fusion version 6.1 continues to streamline and refine the process of working with review tasks and implements various user requests for additional features and security enhancements.
Improvements to the review task process include the ability to set a due date for review tasks, task owners have new options to limit the type of editing that reviewers can do on a task, request a re-review after the review has been finalized, and the review status for each reviewer on a task can now be seen from the various pages within a task. Tasks can be marked as integrated to hide them from the default view, reviewers have now the ability to create new files or upload files to a task, and various interface enhancements were implemented to streamline the overall workflow and offer more in-place information. The main security enhancement provides the ability to configure Content Fusion to use an OpenID Connect provider for SSO authentication.

Better Control of the Finalized Review Status
When a user marks a review task as Finalized, it remains in that review state even when other collaborators make changes to documents within the task. The Finalized state will change to In progress 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.

Related version: 6.1
Oxygen Content Fusion 6.0 introduces a lot of interesting and substantial improvements for the online collaboration platform designed to improve the DITA documentation review and publishing processes.
One of the most interesting new features added in this version is the new Projects feature, which allows you to manage a DITA project hosted in a Git repository while maintaining full compatibility with existing workflows and tools. Authors can create review tasks inside a project and reviewers' feedback is tracked on a dedicated branch in the Git repository. New publishing features help authors build WebHelp and PDF outputs and the Oxygen Styles Basket has been integrated to make it very easy to customize the output using CSS styling. Review task owners can now close a review task to prevent others from making changes while integrating the reviewers' feedback. Numerous enhancements were also made to the Content Fusion user interface to make navigation easier and workflows more efficient. Bug fixes and security enhancements were also implemented, and various internal components were updated.
Projects

Compatibility with Existing Workflows and Tools
Create and Merge Review Tasks Inside Projects
A Content Fusion project has a default branch in the Content Fusion repository that mirrors the corresponding Git branch from the upstream remote repository. This allows authors to create review tasks inside a Content Fusion project quickly and using a minimum amount of storage, review tasks being just additional branches in the Content Fusion local repository. All authors that have access to the project are able to see all the review tasks created within that project.
After closing a review task that was created within a project, the task owner has access to an action to integrate the changes into the project's default branch using the built-in file comparison/merge tool. This tool allows you to visually spot the differences and choose which changes to merge.Feedback Tracked in Git Repository

Uninterrupted Integration of Reviewer's Feedback
During the review process, you now have the ability to integrate changes into your documentation project undisturbed. To facilitate this workflow, we have introduced the Close Review button. This feature enables you to lock the task, preventing reviewers from making changes. It allows you to focus on addressing previously received feedback and making the necessary modifications without interruptions, ensuring a seamless integration of changes into your Content Fusion project. Should you require additional input or feedback, you can easily reopen the review, making the task editable to receive further suggestions.
