! Edit together

|
| style="" |The extension CognitiveProcessDesigner has been fully reworked. Users now have the option to create BPMN-diagrams that create [[wiki pages]] in the background.
The new "Edit together" edit mode allows multiple users to simultaneously update a wiki page. Users can be invited to collaborate in real-time.


This way of editing is efficient and convenient in different scenarios, for example for writing meeting minutes, for drafting and brainstorming new content or during quick proofreading sessions.

!AI-assisted editing

|BlueSpice can now support users with an AI editing assistant. It allows to highlight text and have ChatGPT make improvement suggestions based on pre-defined prompts.

This feature requires an OpenAI API-key in a wiki.
'''On-the-fly translation:'''
BlueSpice can now include a translation link for users who have set a language in their preferences that is different from the installation language (content language) of the wiki.
'''Translation transfer:'''
It is now possible for a wiki farm or for at least two separate wiki instances without the farm module to send translated articles from a source wiki to multiple target wikis.  
The namespaces in the different language wikis can be mapped directly in the wiki.

!Books
! style="" | PDF Export
|We have modernized the approach to our book functionality. A visually appealing Bookshelf page makes it easy to organize and access books.
| style="" |The PDF export is now based on a new PDF processor backend.
It is now also possible to add a wikipage to multiple books. Sinc we elimineted the bookshelf-tag, adding a page to a book no longer creates a new page revision. This ensures that the approval status of pages is not affected when a page is added to a book.
Administrators can create and maintain multiple PDF [[templates]] directly in the wiki. Server-access is no longer required.
