Hello everyone,
We are proud to announce the release of Oxygen Content Fusion
8.0, the web-based collaboration platform for content
creation!
Version 8.0 turns Oxygen Content Fusion into a
powerful AI-driven tool designed to boost writer productivity by
integrating with the Oxygen AI Positron Assistant. This
version also consolidates the Oxygen Content Fusion position as a
Content Management System for DITA content stored in a Git
repository by adding the ability to access all Git branches.
Oxygen AI Positron Assistant is available for users with
the Content Fusion Author role and offers a suite of
AI-powered features to enhance content creation and editing. Once
the plugin is installed, the AI Positron Assistant
side-pane becomes accessible in the Personal Workspace,
providing a range of powerful AI-driven actions and features. Some
of the key features include:
* The AI Positron Assistant makes changes to the files inside a
workspace based on your instructions. These changes can be
inspected using a side-by-side, before-and-after visual comparison
view. To ensure that you are always in control, any changes may be
rolled back.
* AI-powered content generation actions can be used to expand a DITA topic by refining its content, adding markup, and generating documentation based on referenced images using Vision support, to generate content based on uploaded images, produce alternate text for images in DITA, or to generate MathML formulas based on your description.
* Content improvement actions are available to proofread documents, validate documents and suggest fixes for identified issues, add semantic inline DITA markup to plain text content, modify content based on suggestions found in the comments (which are then resolved), or split large DITA topics into multiple smaller topics while also referencing the new topics in the DITA map.
* Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) support allows the AI Positron to find similar content from the personal workspace when generating new content.
* Integrators or other advanced users can create and configure
custom actions, similar to the built-in actions, allowing the
ability to provide the prompt for the AI engine, control engine
parameters, available function callback tools, and so on.
The newest version of Oxygen Content Fusion also introduces
important updates to the Content Fusion Project functionality. A
project mirrors a Git repository and via a Personal Workspace
enables users to make changes across multiple files. Once the
users are happy with the results, these changes can be committed
directly to the repository to be shared with the rest of the team.
Now, when working with projects, authors can access all Git
branches and get a Personal Workspace dedicated to
each branch, making it possible to commit changes on a particular
branch (version) without affecting the user's changes made in
their other workspaces. Branches can also be merged using a
built-in visual comparison tool that simplifies the process.
Review tasks can now be created from branches other than the
default one, and a new filter was added in the task list page to
show review tasks specific to the current branch, making it easier
to locate and manage relevant tasks.
Additionally, administrators now have the possibility of
configuring authentication settings to enable support for OpenID
Connect (OIDC) single sign-on for compatibility with solutions
such as Microsoft Entra ID and Okta. For email and password-based
signups, admins can now restrict sign-ups to specific email
addresses or patterns. Additional security hardening controls were
also implemented to keep your data safe.
