Web & Administrative Systems: PilotsUP: Liferay 5.2.5 Upgrade Notes

Functional

• Control Panel Addition – Provides the ability to manage community portlets/applications from a single Control Panel rather than creating an “Administrative” page to control community page content. Content available via the new Control Panel includes image and document libraries as well as web content.
• Switched to using TinyMCE HTML editor
• Help Link in the Red-bar drop down menu
