Revision as of 14:05, 7 October 2025

BlueSpice 5 is a major release.

New and enhanced features

Feature	Description	Screenshot
ChatPDF	The extension CognitiveProcessDesigner has been fully reworked. Users now have the option to create BPMN-diagrams that create wiki pages in the background. BPMN-diagrams documentation	BPMN editor
Multi-language support	The translation feature in BlueSpice requires a DeepL API-Key. This is not provided by BlueSpice. On-the-fly translation: BlueSpice can now include a translation link for users who have set a language in their preferences that is different from the installation language (content language) of the wiki. Translation transfer: It is now possible for a wiki farm or for at least two separate wiki instances without the farm module to send translated articles from a source wiki to multiple target wikis. The namespaces in the different language wikis can be mapped directly in the wiki. Translation documentation
PDF Export	The PDF export is now based on a new PDF processor backend. Administrators can create and maintain multiple PDF templates directly in the wiki. Server-access is no longer required. PDF export documentation	Custom PDF cover
Simple blog page	We included a new simplified blogging and discussion system with commenting and voting features. It replaces the BlueSpiceSocial extensions. Blog documentation	Blog page
Improved special pages		Improved permission manager
