Ibexa DXP v5.0.2

2025-09-09

Collaboration

The new Collaborative editing feature allows multiple users to preview, review, and edit the same content, improving teamwork and streamlining the review process. Internal and external users can be invited to a collaboration session, through different sharing options.

With Real-time editing, more advanced part of the feature, users can see each other’s changes in the real time, or work on the content asynchronously.

Additionally, shared drafts can be accessed and managed through new dashboard tabs: My shared drafts and Drafts shared with me, helping users stay organized.

Discount indexing

Discounts now allow scheduling a re-indexing of discounted product catalog prices at the most convenient time by using the Ibexa Messenger package. Ibexa Messenger is a customization of the Symfony Messenger package, created to adjust it to Ibexa DXP's needs.

Once properly configured, it uses a background queue to trigger price re-indexing, ensuring efficient use of system resources without causing performance disruptions.

Improvements to notifications

An improved notifications system is now more intuitive. Developers can now create and configure their own notification types, while users can now browse through a list of notifications, where they can either act on them or dismiss them.

Notable changes

This version incorporates into the product numerous features brought by [LTS Updates] from previous versions, brings upgrades to the tech stack and improvements to developer experience.

AI Actions

The AI Actions feature enhances the usability and flexibility of Ibexa DXP by harnessing the potential of artificial intelligence to automate time-consuming editorial tasks. By default, the AI Actions feature can help users with their work in following scenarios:

  • Refining text: when editing a content item, users can request that a passage selected in online editor is modified, for example, by adjusting the length of the text, changing its tone, or correcting linguistic errors
  • Generating alternative text: when working with images, users can ask AI to generate alternative text for them, which helps improve accessibility and SEO

AI Assistant

AI Actions integrate with Ibexa Connect, giving you an opportunity to build complex data transformation workflows without having to rely on custom code.

For more information, see AI Actions product guide.

Discounts

With Discounts, you can temporarily or permanently reduce prices on specific products or categories, making deals more attractive to potential buyers.

Use them to encourage first-time purchases, reward loyal customers, promote new or slow-moving items, or drive sales during seasonal events.

By displaying discounted prices clearly in the catalog or cart, businesses can create a sense of urgency, increase customer satisfaction, and ultimately boost revenue.

Discounts for products in the cart

For more information, see Discounts product guide.

Date and time attribute

The Date and time attributes allow you to represent date and time values as part of the product specification in the Product Information Management system.

For more information, see Date and time attributes.

Symbol attribute

The Symbol attributes allow you to efficiently represent the string-based data as part of the product specification in the Product Information Management system.

For more information, see Symbol attributes.
