Release highlights include:

• Search Experiences: Blueprints. Business users shouldn’t be completely reliant on IT teams to help build or modify their digital experiences. With low-code and no-code capabilities, such as Blueprints, on Liferay DXP 7.4, users can easily manage and create the experiences they need. Part of the new Liferay Enterprise Search Experiences application, users can alter Liferay’s default search behavior by building their own custom search algorithms (i.e. boost a term, filter out results, include geolocation, etc) using a no-code visual query builder called Blueprints.
• Low Code Application Builder. Business users can also build their own applications, freeing up IT teams to handle more complex and strategic issues. Users can leverage Liferay Objects to customize DXP, allowing users to create and manage objects, adding fields, object layouts, relationships, and define the scope for each custom object. Liferay Objects are fully integrated with existing Liferay DXP frameworks, such as Workflows, Headless and permissions.
• Click to Chat Connector. Customers can easily communicate with sales and/or support reps through chatbot integration on 7.4. Liferay provides out-of-the-box connectors for a variety of providers, including Liveperson.
• Accessibility and SEO Audits. Quickly check a page’s compliance with best practices for performance, accessibility, and search engine metadata. Users will be able to see warnings and tips to improve each of the categories.
• Auto-translation of Web Content. Content creators can save time by focusing on polishing automatically translated web content, rather than needing to start from scratch.
• DocuSign Integration. To streamline contracts and workflows, Liferay now integrates with DocuSign. This allows users to view the status of sent documents and download signed forms, all within Liferay.
