The following features are affected by some content changes related to the replacement of some extensions.


=== Blog functionality ===
* Blog  
Blog and discussion entries do not carry over to BlueSpice 5. You need to start new blogs and discussions. If you used these features extensively in previous versions, talk to your project manager before updating your system to discuss possible migration scenarios.
* Discussions
* PDF export


=== PDF templates (cloud edition only) ===
[[BlueSpice 5/Content changes|Review the content changes]] to determine if you need to make adjustments to your wiki.
Make sure to read the documentation on how to copy your template customization to the new template pages. Your customization will still work in BlueSpice 5 after moving it to the new pages. In addition, you now have much more flexibility by adding multiple templates for different exports.

=== Replacement of extjs with oojs ===
The visual output of grid-based elements is now provided by the framework [[mediawikiwiki:OOjs|OOjs]]. It replaces [[mediawikiwiki:Extension:ExtJSBase|Ext JS]]. This should not affect the overall functionality of the grid features.
