New and enhanced features
| Feature | Description | Screenshot |
|---|---|---|
| BPMN diagrams | The extension CognitiveProcessDesigner has been fully reworked. Users now have the option to create BPMN-diagrams that create wiki pages in the background.
|
 |
| Multi-language support | The translation feature in BlueSpice requires a DeepL API-Key. This is not provided by BlueSpice.
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. |
|
| PDF Export | The PDF export is now based on a new PDF processor backend.
Administrators can create and maintain multiple PDF templates directly in the wiki. Server-access is no longer required. |
 |
| Simple blog page | We included a new simplified blogging and discussion system with commenting and voting features.
It replaces the BlueSpiceSocial extensions. |
 |
| Improved special pages |  |
