New and enhanced features

Feature	Description	Screenshot
Edit together	The new "Edit together" edit mode allows multiple users to simultaneously update a wiki page. Users can be invited to collaborate in real-time. This way of editing is efficient and convenient in different scenarios, for example for writing meeting minutes, for drafting and brainstorming new content or during quick proofreading sessions. CollabPads documentation	Edit together
AI-assisted editing	BlueSpice can now support users with an AI editing assistant. It allows to highlight text and have ChatPT make improvement suggestions based on pre-defined prompts. This feature requires a ChatGPT API-key to be activated. AI Editing Assistant documentation	AI-suggested text edit
Books	We have modernized the approach to our book functionality. A visually appealing Bookshelf page makes it easy to organize and access books. It is now also possible to add a wikipage to multiple books. Sinc we elimineted the bookshelf-tag, adding a page to a book no longer creates a new page revision. This ensures that the approval status of pages is not affected when a page is added to a book. Books documentation	Books page
Pages overview	We continued to enhance the user interface of standard special pages. The mediawiki AllPages special page has been replaced by a user-friendly version. A filterable index of all wiki pages in the different namespaces makes it easier to quickly locate any wiki page. "Pages" documentation	Special page "Pages"
Uploaded files overview	Another enhanced special page is the List of files that have been uploaded to the wiki. A decluttered grid-view and larger thumbnails support users in finding the uploaded files. "Files" documentation	File list
Notifications	A simpler and more flexible notification system that is easier to manage and to understand. Users now subscribe to notifications based on their preferences. Notifications documentation	Notifications
