What's New in Oxygen Content Fusion 6.1

February 5, 2024

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.

Authentication

Single Sign On Support Using OpenID Connect

Content Fusion can now be configured to use an OpenID Connect provider (such as Okta or Microsoft Entra ID) to allow users to authenticate using the organization's Single Sign On system. If users have an existing Content Fusion account (created via LDAP or sign up) using the same email address as the one obtained via OpenID Connect, then they will be able to use the OpenID Connect to login to their existing account.
Single Sign On Support Using OpenID Connect

Review Tasks

Due Date for Review Tasks

You can now manage deadlines by setting a Due Date when creating a review task. The due date can be modified if needed and is visible in various places in the user interface. The reviewers will receive email notifications to remind them that they need to finalize their review in time.
Due Date for Review Tasks

Comment-only Reviewers Edit Mode

When sharing a task with reviewers, you can control if they have full edit access, or more limited access to add comments and suggest changes, or to only allow the reviewers to add comments. The new Comment only option that is available in the Reviewers edit mode section of the Task Settings page allows task owners to limit the reviewers to only have the ability to add comments on content (without changing it), ensuring that the document content is always seen in its original form by all reviewers.
Comment-only Reviewers Edit Mode

Option to Request Re-review

Task owners now have the option to request re-review of the task from all the reviewers. They can request a new review of the task when they re-open the task or by using the Request re-review button that appears in the pop-up window when clicking the Finalized drop-down widget that is displayed under the task name when the task is in the In Review state. 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. When a review restarts, the reviewers will be able to see what files changed since they last finalized their review.
Option to Request Re-review

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.

Review Status Information

The status information of a review task is presented under the task name. This shows the number of reviewers assigned and how many total reviewers have finalized their review. If the review is in progress, it presents a drop-down that opens a pop-up window where you can see the list of all the reviewers and their finalized review status, as well as some actions that make sense in the particular context (for example, an action to request a re-review).
Review Status Information

Integrated Review Status

Review tasks that are created from the Content Fusion add-on in Oxygen XML Editor/Author, or as non-project tasks from the web interface, can now be marked as Integrated when the review is closed. 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.
Integrated Review Status

Upload Files to a Review Task

Users can now upload files in a review task within the Content Fusion browser interface. These files will appear in the list of files to be reviewed for the particular task.
Upload Files to a Review Task

Reviewers Can Now Create New Files in a Review Task

Reviewers have now the ability to suggest adding new content in a review task by creating a new file from a template. This makes it possible to create new files directly from the Content Fusion browser interface. Previously, only task owners had this ability.
Reviewers Can Now Create New Files in a Review Task

Show Document Titles for Review Tasks Created From a Project

Content Fusion now displays the document titles instead of file names for files included in a review task that was created from a project. This makes it easier to identify and open a particular file. If the titles change during the review process, users can update them in the task files list on demand (by using the Update Titles button).

List of Review Tasks is Sortable

It is now easier to find the tasks that need your attention by sorting the columns in the list of tasks by name, due date, or review status.
List of Review Tasks is Sortable

Track Task Evolution in Task Activity

The Task activity page was redesigned to make it easier to see changes made by collaborators. You can now click on the highlighted file name for a particular change listed in the Task activity view and it will open the two versions of the document in a file comparison view so that you can clearly see the differences.
Track Task Evolution in Task Activity

Security

Improved TLS Security

The TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA384 weak cipher is no longer accepted.

What's New in Oxygen Content Fusion 6.0

November 1, 2023

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

Manage DITA Projects Hosted in Git Repositories

The new Projects feature provides a way for authors to manage DITA projects hosted in Git repositories. A Content Fusion project allows authors to create and manage review tasks within the project, define Content Fusion Publications as DITA map/DITAVAL pairs, and build Content Fusion Deliverables that enable publishing DITA content to Webhelp and PDF.
Manage DITA Projects Hosted in Git Repositories

Compatibility with Existing Workflows and Tools

DITA project configuration changes and merged review tasks are automatically synchronized between Content Fusion and your Git repository. This means that you can still use the Git repository from any client application or Continuous Integration job.

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.
Uninterrupted Integration of Reviewer's Feedback

Feedback Tracked in Git Repository

Suggestions or changes made by reviewers on a review task created within a project are tracked on a dedicated branch in the Content Fusion Git repository. When a task is finished, the changes are merged and pushed to the upstream remote repository.
Feedback Tracked in Git Repository

Private Projects

Projects can be configured to be private, making it possible for you to share them only with specific collaborators. When creating a project in the Content Fusion interface, there is a Visibility option that can be set as Public or Private. Private projects are only accessible to select individuals who are added on the Members page for the particular project.
Configure Projects to be Private

Publishing

Build WebHelp and PDF Deliverables

The new publishing features within Content Fusion projects allow you to configure the process for transforming the DITA content into WebHelp and PDF deliverables. Now, you can build the transformations directly in Content Fusion and you can even configure automatic builds. Access to the transformation log file is available both during the build process as well as afterwards, thus allowing you to debug any transformation issues.
Build WebHelp or PDF Deliverables

Built-In Publishing Templates

When configuring a deliverable, you can select from a variety of built-in publishing templates to easily customize the appearance of the WebHelp and PDF output.
Build WebHelp or PDF Deliverables

Oxygen Styles Basket Integration

You can duplicate and edit existing templates to customize various aspects of the layout and style of the output. This is done through a built-in integration of the Oxygen Styles Basket, which is a simple web-based tool that makes it very easy to visually customize the WebHelp and PDF output.
Oxygen Styles Basket Integration

Deploy Deliverables on a Hosting Platform

Once a deliverable has been produced, you can download and deploy it on a third-party hosting platform.
Deploy Deliverables on a Hosting Platform

User Interface Enhancements

New Navigation Features

The Content Fusion user interface was enhanced to make navigation easier and workflows more efficient by providing actions in the top stripe, a new navigation stripe on the left side of the interface, and a breadcrumb in the main area that can be used to navigate to previous pages.

Review Task Workflow Improvements

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.

Visual Editor

Updated Oxygen XML Web Author

Oxygen XML Web Author is used as a component to provide the visual editing in Content Fusion and it was updated to version 26.0.0. For more details, see What's New in Oxygen XML Web Author 26.0.0.

Markdown Support

Markdown documents can be added to a review task and they can be opened as read-only so that reviewers can see the content directly in the visual editor.
Markdown Support

Licensing and User Roles

New Licensing Model Based on User Roles

The license for Content Fusion 6.0 covers a configurable number of user-based licenses for Authors and predefined packages of floating licenses for Subject matter experts (SME). Authors have access to projects and publishing-related features, while SMEs only have access to review tasks. An administrator can configure user roles in a new Users Management tab within the Content Fusion Enterprise Administration page according to the limits imposed by the license key.
Markdown Support

Component Updates

Apache Shiro 1.12

Updated the Apache Shiro library to version 1.12.

Transport Layer Security v1.3 Support

Edit Context DITA Map for a Review Task

The Content Fusion Task Manager view now has an action (Open context DITA map) in the contextual menu to open the DITA map that is specified as the context map for the task. This makes it easier for technical writers to make changes in the task's files directly from the XML editor or to apply a transformation scenario on the map.

You can create personalized term lists that are used to store specialized terms (learned words) or control forbidden words in the spell checker.

Customize Term List for the AutoCorrect Feature

The Content Fusion built-in visual editor includes an AutoCorrect feature to automatically correct misspelled words as you type. There is a default list of commonly misspelled words and symbols for each supported language, but you can modify the list to suit your specific needs.

Share Ownership of a Task

It is now possible to add additional owners to an existing task so that more than one Content Author can manage the task or merge the changes in Oxygen XML Editor/Author.

Google/GitHub Authentication

The server administrator can enable Google or GitHub authentication so that users have the option to log in with those credentials when signing in to Content Fusion.
