Projects
Content Fusion Projects let you manage your DITA content with built-in support for Git-based version control, authoring, review workflows, and publishing. The project creation workflow received significant upgrades in this version.
- Start Projects Without Immediate Git Integration - You can now create a project in Content Fusion without immediately linking it to a Git repository. This gives you the flexibility to explore and work on your content without committing to a repository right away. Simply upload your files into the new project and start editing and collaborating. When you're ready, you can link a Git repository to the project, ensuring that all your previous work is retained and stored in the repository.
- Get Started Faster with Project Templates - You can now create new projects more quickly and efficiently with predefined templates. Choose from multiple project templates, such as a blank project, standard DITA structures, or sample projects that demonstrate documentation best practices. This simplifies your initial setup, promotes consistency, and helps you quickly familiarize yourself with optimal project structures and content reuse scenarios.
- Include Publications from Existing DITA-OT Project Files - You can now add new publications to your Content Fusion project by including them from existing DITA-OT project files. While these included publications can be used as editing and validation contexts in review tasks and workspace, they are not yet available for publishing. This feature allows you to leverage existing DITA-OT project files for editing and validation.
File Comparison/Merge Tool
- Differences View for Review Comments - You can now use the Differences view when you compare two versions of a file to see changes in review comments. This feature highlights newly added comments and replies, helping you stay informed about updates in your review tasks.
- Ignore Whitespaces in Text-based Comparisons - You can now use the Toggle Ignore Whitespaces button in the file comparison/merge tool to focus on actual text differences without being distracted by variations in whitespace, such as indentation. This feature helps you concentrate on meaningful changes in documents with different formatting.
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. This release integrates the latest updates from AI Positron Assistant 5.0, including the following features:
- Attach Word, Powerpoint, and PDF Files - You can now attach Word (DOCX), PowerPoint (PPTX), and PDF documents in the Chat view, allowing you to provide more context to the AI. For example, you can upload a document received from a Subject Matter Expert and have the Positron Assistant create DITA topics based on that content.
- DITA Document Conversion Actions - New AI actions have been added for DITA users to easily convert a DITA document into a different DITA document type. For example, you can have the AI convert a DITA Topic type of document into a Task, Concept, Reference, Troubleshooting, or Glossary type of document.
- AI-Powered DITA Topic Analysis and Update - You can now use a new AI action to analyze and update your DITA topics. This feature provides a report and suggests updates, helping you restructure content more effectively. For instance, if your topic contains both conceptual information and procedural steps, the AI will automatically convert these into separate concept and task topics, improving the organization and clarity of your documentation.
Custom AI Actions Development
The AI Positron Assistant's built-in actions allow writers to get AI assistance for a large variety of things such as generating new content, improving or expanding existing content, translations, writing marketing-related content, reusing content, code development, and much more. In addition to the built-in AI actions, it is possible to develop your own custom actions and customize other functionality.
- Integration with xAI Grok - The OpenAI connector of the AI Positron Assistant Enterprise plugin has been tested and modified to allow connecting to the xAI Grok AI engine, enhancing integration capabilities.
- Distribute or Filter AI Actions - Plugins or frameworks may now contain a folder named ai-positron-actions where custom AI actions are automatically loaded from. A file named excluded-action-ids.txt may also be placed in the same folder to define action IDs (on a line-by-line basis) that should be filtered out from the UI. This is useful for actions intended to be used in a different context, not directly invoked by the user.
- Reference Prompt Files in AI Actions - Enhance your custom-defined AI actions by using the prompt_ref JSON property to reference an external text or Markdown file for prompts, allowing for more flexible and manageable AI action configurations.
Component Updates
- 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 27.1.0.
- Updated Oxygen Publishing Engine - Content Fusion now uses the Oxygen Publishing Engine version 27.1 to build the Deliverables you define. This version contains various bug fixes and security updates.
