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. |
|
AI-assisted editing | BlueSpice can now support users with an AI editing assistant. It allows to highlight text and have ChatGPT make improvement suggestions based on pre-defined prompts.
This feature requires an OpenAI API-key in a wiki. |
|
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. |
|
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 The mediawiki AllPages special page has been replaced by a user-friendly version.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. |
|
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.
|
|
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. |
