Hello,

We are proud to announce the release of Oxygen Content Fusion 8.1, the web-based collaboration platform for content creation and review!

Version 8.1 is focused on streamlining DITA content management and collaboration by introducing more flexible project creation, enhanced file comparison and merging capabilities, and new AI-enabled features through integration with the Oxygen AI Positron Assistant 5.0.

Key Enhancements in Oxygen Content Fusion 8.1

* Streamlined DITA Project Creation
Start projects immediately, even before linking to a Git repository, and quickly create them from predefined templates, helping teams adopt best practices with minimal setup time. Easily import publications from existing DITA-OT project files and use them for editing and validation context.

* Advanced File Comparison and Merge
The updated file comparison and merge tool now includes a Differences view, which allows you to easily track replies and new review comments. Also, the ability to ignore white-spaces helps you to focus on meaningful content differences rather than cosmetic formatting changes, enhancing productivity and accuracy in document reviews.

* AI Positron Assistant 5.0 Integration
Attach Word, PowerPoint, and PDF files to provide contextual information for AI interactions. The new AI-powered DITA document conversion and topic analysis features enable you to restructure and update content efficiently, improving documentation clarity and organization.

* Customizing AI Actions
Develop custom AI actions or filter out existing ones for specialized use cases. Leverage an external text or Markdown file for prompts to streamline AI-driven content generation, translation, and restructuring.

* Updated Components
Oxygen Content Fusion 8.1 includes the latest Oxygen XML Web Author 27.1.0 for visual XML editing and Oxygen Publishing Engine 27.1 for publishing features, both of which bring further performance improvements and security updates.
