[ANN] Oxygen Content Fusion 9.0 is now available!
by Alin Belu 29 Jan '26

29 Jan '26

Hello everyone, We are proud to announce the release of *Oxygen Content Fusion 9.0*, the web-based collaboration platform for content creation and review! *Version 9.0* further strengthens end-to-end DITA collaboration by introducing multi-branch publishing pipelines, more flexible review workflows, and enhanced AI-assisted authoring through Oxygen AI Positron for Content Fusion. This release is designed for technical communication teams who manage complex, versioned documentation projects. It helps streamline review processes and enables the leveraging of AI to accelerate content creation and maintenance. *What's New in Oxygen Content Fusion 9.0* ** Enhanced Project Workflows for Versioned DITA Content* The Projects view in Oxygen Content Fusion continues to evolve into a central hub for managing DITA content with Git-based version control, authoring, review, and publishing. A new “Include all project files as context” option gives you control over what reviewers see when creating a review task from the project workspace, as well as helping to avoid missing images or broken links. ** Multi-Branch Publishing Pipelines* Oxygen Content Fusion 9.0 introduces multi-branch publishing pipelines, allowing you to load and run deliverables from any branch defined in the project. This is especially valuable for organizations that maintain parallel product versions, regional variants, or long-lived maintenance branches. ** Easily Create New Review Tasks from the Publications Tree* This newly introduced feature makes it easy for you to select topics from a publication structure and create review tasks that include relevant context. ** More Flexible Review Task Management* Review tasks created outside of a project workflow (for example, ad-hoc document reviews) and previously marked as Integrated can now be reopened and re-entered into the review process. This allows for iterative review cycles and late-stage changes without the need to recreate tasks. ** Enhanced Visual Editing Experience* The integrated visual editor in Oxygen Content Fusion has been updated to include the latest capabilities from Oxygen XML Web Author 28.0, delivering a more intuitive and precise editing experience: * Enhanced table handling lets you easily resize column widths by dragging separators and use the Toggle Full Width button to conveniently view and edit large DITA tables. * Add comments directly from a floating toolbar when content is selected, helping you provide pinpoint feedback. * Show whitespace marks to make formatting-sensitive content easier to manage. * When expanding all topics in a DITA map, referenced Markdown content is rendered as it will appear upon publication. * A new Copy as Markdown command preserves formatting, making it easier for you to paste well-formatted content into other applications, including AI prompts. * DITA 2.0 video and audio elements include native media controls, streamlining multimedia reviews. * An improved Find/Replace side view adds filtering to show matches only in attribute values, only in content, or both. ** Oxygen AI Positron for Content Fusion: More Powerful and Project-Aware* Oxygen Content Fusion 9.0 integrates the latest capabilities from Oxygen AI Positron for Content Fusion, an AI add-on available at no extra cost with the Content Fusion license that can be enabled on demand. New features include: * An expanded set of AI models so organizations can align AI behavior with their quality and cost requirements. * Various UI and accuracy improvements. More information about the newest release of *Oxygen Content Fusion* can be found here: https://www.oxygenxml.com/content_fusion/whats_new.html We hope you will enjoy our latest release! As always, thank you for your support and don't forget that feedback is welcome!

More information when 'project contains options that will change the application interface and behavior'?
by Tony Graham 28 Jan '26

28 Jan '26

When I go to open the Oxygen project for the PDF5-ML [1] manual, I get a dialog box with: The 'pdf5_manual.xpr' project contains options that will change the application interface and behavior. To continue opening it, please confirm that the project comes from a trusted source. It is a trusted source, obviously, and I can look in the XML to see that some of the specified paths don't suit my system, but is there any way within Oxygen to review what these options will change? If there is, is there also any way to selectively enable or disable options? There's also no indication whether any of these option changes will persist after I open a different project.

[ANN] Oxygen XML Web Author 28 is Now Available!
by Alin Belu 28 Nov '25

28 Nov '25

Hi everyone, I’m excited to share that *Oxygen XML Web Author 28 is now available* and it brings a number of useful enhancements that many of you might enjoy. Here are some of the key features to check out: * *Powerful AI-assisted authoring with Oxygen AI Positron 8.0 integration* The AI service in Web Author now supports the latest generation of models. In addition to OpenAI, you can connect to enterprise-grade platforms like Google Gemini, Google Vertex AI, AWS Bedrock, or even a custom REST-based AI service via the new “Custom Connector”. * *Smarter AI-driven content actions* You can now ask AI to create new files, generate structured DITA topics (e.g. Task, Concept, Reference), convert existing content to different DITA types, or even automatically fix validation issues in AI-generated content. * *Improved editing & reviewing experience* Resizing table columns is easier, and for large DITA tables there’s a "full-width" toggle mode. You can also add comments via the floating toolbar when selecting content, which streamlines review workflows. * *Better support for Markdown & mixed-content workflows* If you reference Markdown files in a DITA map, you can now view them directly (auto-converted to DITA) when expanding the map, and copy content from the visual editor as polished Markdown (with styling, lists, tables). This should help teams working with mixed documentation formats. * *Security, integration & customization upgrades* The release strengthens enterprise readiness with enhanced authentication options (including a dedicated connector for Azure DevOps, and support for OIDC), plus updates under the hood (web server, UI framework) that improve stability, flexibility, and integration potential. If you enjoy tinkering with AI-powered authoring, or if your team works with DITA, Markdown or mixed-content repositories, this update could make a real difference in your workflow. For the full list of new features, see the official release notes: https://www.oxygenxml.com/xml_web_author/whats_new.html Best regards, Alin on behalf of the Oxygen XML team -- Alin Belu Oxygen XML Editor _______________________________________________ oXygen-user mailing list -- oxygen-user(a)oxygenxml.com To unsubscribe send an email to oxygen-user-leave(a)oxygenxml.com
