AI Positron Assistant

Your Content Fusion license allows you to integrate AI features via the optional Oxygen AI Positron Assistant. After installing the plugin, an AI Positron Assistant side-pane is available, allowing you to use numerous built-in AI actions or ask the AI assistant to help you with content editing tasks.

• AI-Powered Editing Inside the Personal Workspace - The AI Positron Assistant can now make changes to the files inside a workspace based on your instructions. You can inspect the changes using a side-by-side, before-and-after comparison view. To ensure that you always are in control, any changes may be rolled back. You can also attach images, XML, or text files to chats, providing additional context for AI assistance.
• Address Feedback in Review Tasks Using AI - As a Content Fusion user with an Author role, you can access the AI Positron Assistant in review tasks. AI functionality such as Resolve Comments or Proofread can help you address feedback faster. All changes are proposed in the side-view and you can review and accept them using a visual comparison tool.

Projects

Content Fusion Projects functionality allows you to work with DITA projects stored in Git repositories, with Content Fusion acting as a remote Git client, so part of the project-related functionality handles the interaction with the Git repository. The Projects functionality has received significant updates for this version.

• Access to All Branches - You can now access all the Git branches from your project, view the documents from those branches, and make changes on any branch via your Personal Workspace. Previously, you only had access to the main branch specified when creating the project.
• Merge Branches - The new branch drop-down component includes an action to merge a specified branch with the current branch. This feature stands out because it incorporates a built-in merge tool featuring a visual comparison. Unlike the typical text-based comparisons found in most standard Git clients, this visual approach simplifies the process of understanding and managing the merge results.
• Review Tasks on Any Branch - With the addition of multi-branch support, you are now able to create review tasks from branches other than the default branch. Previously, review tasks could only be originated from the default branch of the project. The source branch for a task is displayed in a dedicated column within the project's Review Tasks list.
• Current Branch Filter for Review Tasks - A new Show Only for Current Branch quick filter has been added in the project's Review Tasks page to allow you to filter the task list to only show the review tasks for the current branch, making it more efficient when trying to locate particular tasks.
• Take Ownership of a Review Task - It is now possible to assign yourself as an owner on a review task that originates from a project (that you have access to), making it easier to take over a review task in cases where an ownership change is needed.
• Validation Improvements - It is now easier to visualize the number of detected problems, filter, and locate them.

AI Content Generation Actions

• Expand DITA Topic Draft - The new Expand Draft AI action enhances a draft of a DITA XML topic by refining the content, adding consistent markup, and generating documentation based on referenced images using Vision support. The AI searches for similar content in topics gathered from related links or through Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG). This action is available for DITA XML documents.
• Generate Short Descriptions - The Short Description AI action (in the Content Generation section) creates a short description based on a summary of the selected text (or the entire document if there is no selection). You can configure the style and the approximate number of sentences to be generated.
• Generate Image Alternate Text - When editing DITA XML files, you can use the new Generate Image Alternate Text AI action to generate an alternate text for an image that is selected in the editing area.
• AI-based MathML Generation - The new Formula/Equation action (located in the Content Generation category) leverages AI to generate MathML formulas based on your descriptions. This feature simplifies the creation of complex mathematical representations and enhances technical documentation workflows.

AI Content Improvement Actions

• Split Large DITA Topics - The Split Topic AI action splits large topics with numerous subjects into multiple topic files. The newly created topics are also conveniently referenced in the DITA map that is currently open in the DITA Maps Manager.
• Fix Validation Problems - The new Fix Validation Problems AI action validates the current document and suggests fixes for all identified issues, streamlining both the validation process and the resolution of validation problems, ensuring high-quality content.
• Proofread Action - When editing DITA XML documents, a new Proofread AI action is now available to aid you in identifying potential issues in your content. The AI will then proceed to add comments in the content regarding logical consistency problems, grammar or spelling mistakes, or readability and comprehension issues.
• Resolve Comments Action - A new Resolve Comments AI action has been implemented, enabling the AI to modify selected content based on suggestions in the comments. It also automatically removes the comments, saving you time during the cleanup process. This action is available when working with DITA XML documents.
• Improve Structure Action - A new Improve Structure AI action can now be used to instruct the AI to improve the selected DITA XML content by adding additional structure or inline elements.

Authentication

• OpenID Connect Single Sign-on - Administrators now have the possibility of configuring authentication settings to enable support for OpenID Connect (OIDC) single sign-on. This feature allows seamless user authentication through the OIDC protocol and is compatible with solutions like Microsoft Entra ID and Okta.
• Control Email and Password Signups - If you allow users to sign up using email and password credentials on your Content Fusion instance, it is now possible for the admin to limit the sign-up to specific email addresses or to emails that match a specific pattern (for example, to permit all email addresses with a specific domain suffix - "@example.com"). This only applies to sign-ups using email and password credentials and does not affect accounts created with LDAP or OIDC.

Customization

• Custom AI Actions and Tool Functions - Integrators or other advanced users can now create custom actions that provide an initial prompt for the AI engine and a variety of functions that can be used by the custom actions. A Java API is available to implement custom functions that enable the AI engine, for example, to dynamically invoke external processing and use the results in generating its response.

Updated Web Author Visual Editor

Oxygen XML Web Author is used as a component to provide the visual editing in Content Fusion and it has been updated to version 27.0.0.

• Content Security Policy Enabled by Default for the Editor - The Content Security Policy (CSP) is now enabled by default for the embedded editor used in Oxygen Content Fusion. The Content Security Policy provides a standard HTTP header that allows website owners to declare approved sources of content that browsers should be allowed to load and execute on that page. Note that this might break some functionality added by custom plugins or frameworks (for example, if it loads external scripts). Also, this policy might block videos or other media objects from loading.
