Modular privacy policy builder
The new dynamic “Privacy Policy Builder” feature allows editors to create a privacy policy based on predefined standard texts.

Tenants app for core data
With the Tenants app, administrators can centrally store core data for websites and easily configure various template-specific settings.

Custom icons for POIs on the location map
It is now possible to assign custom icons to different locations on the map, making them easier to recognize and distinguish.
Read more
Optionally mark images as “decorative”
Editors in OpenCms now have the option of marking images as “decorative.” This causes screen readers to ignore them, thereby improving accessibility.
Read more
Tenants app displays memory usage
Until now, there was no easy way to determine the “file storage consumption” required by a site or subsite. The tenant app now displays the memory used by a site directly.
Read more
Group bookings for events
When registering for events, it is now possible to register a group of participants in addition to individuals without having to fill out the form separately for each registration.
Read more
Display of the template used in the page editor
A template marker is now displayed in the Opencms toolbar, indicating the template used by the page.

Table of contents for the privacy policy builder
The dynamic function “Privacy policy builder” can now optionally generate an automatically created table of contents from the titles of the configured items.
Read more
Privacy policy accessible at any time via icon
After a user has accepted a website's cookie banner, a “cookie icon” with a link to the privacy policy can be displayed permanently as an option. This allows users to adjust their cookie preferences at any time.
Read more
Optimization of the cookie banner
The cookie banner has been adjusted so that the option to use statistics cookies is only displayed if one of the analytics services is actually activated. The “Privacy Cookie Switch” function has also been expanded accordingly.
Read more
Restrict upload to specific file types
The file upload dialog now offers a configuration option that allows only files with permitted extensions to be uploaded.
Read more
Alternative graphics in the header area for desktop and mobile
In the header area of the template, it is now possible to integrate a second graphic and set the display of the graphics using the “Visibility” element setting for the display variants (e.g., ‘Desktop’ or “Mobile”).
Read more
Additional display options for the slider
There are now two additional display options available for the hero image slider: one with link highlighting as a CTA (call-to-action) button, and one with text next to the image.
Read more

Read more
User groups can be opened directly from the permissions dialog box.
The user list of the groups displayed in the „Permissions“ dialog can now be opened directly from the dialog. This makes it easier to determine whether a specific user has access to a folder. This option is only displayed to users with administrator rights.
Read more
Link search words with „AND“
In the full-text search, the link between search words can be changed from „OR“ to „AND“ via the element settings.
Read more

The meta info element has been expanded so that the period for the “revisit-after” setting can now be set optionally.
Read more

The Font Awesome icons have been updated to version 6.5.3 with 23 new icons, and the Bootstrap icons have been updated to version 1.13.1 with 28 new icons. This means that icons for “Bluesky” or “OpenAI / ChatGPT” are now also available, for example.
Read more
Improvement for the “File selection” dialog
