Performance is a core non‑functional requirement that we take seriously throughout development. Tridion Docs 15.2.2 delivers targeted performance improvements across key areas of the product, including APIs, Collective Spaces, Publication Manager, and Organize Space.
The June‑targeted 15.3 release is underway, featuring the first iteration of an in‑browser Publication Editor - watch this forum for upcoming bootcamp materials.
Check out the improvements in Tridion Docs 15.2.2 - it is a simple update you can apply right away.
Client Tools
Tridion Docs 15.2.2 introduces several performance improvements across Client Tools, with the most noticeable impact in Publication Manager when working with larger publications and maps. As a result, publication initialization and baseline loading are now completed more quickly.
The following optimizations contribute to these improvements:
- Improved handling of large local storage, benefiting Authoring Bridge for both Oxygen XML Editor and XMetaL.
- Less eager retrieval of OASIS DITA maps during loading.
- An improved image retrieval process to reduce unnecessary overhead.
In Publication Manager, previewing large maps was previously a time‑consuming operation. Analysis showed that outline numbering contributed significantly to the processing cost in the preview engine. To address this, topicrefs within DITA maps are no longer numbered by default, resulting in faster preview rendering.
Because the preview engine is shared, Organize Space also benefits from this optimization. For customers who prefer numbered topicrefs, a configuration option is available to re‑enable numbering.

Content Manager
Tridion Docs 15.2.2 introduces backend optimizations that improve response times when retrieving large object sets, particularly in API scenarios. Microsoft SQL Server queries that retrieve multiple objects have been optimized by replacing temporary table usage with more efficient type-based OPENJSON construction. In addition, select queries now use extra optimizer hints where appropriate, enabling better execution plans for complex data retrieval scenarios. As a result, client applications such as Organize Space, Collective Spaces, and Publication Manager benefit from faster and more efficient operations.
Collective Spaces
Search performance in Draft Space and Review Space previously degraded after the initial search due to how search results are processed in Collective Spaces. Since not all relevant document objects were returned correctly, subsequent highlighting of matches for the entire publication introduced performance overhead. This issue has now been resolved, allowing users to perform searches efficiently and with consistent performance.
Some customers use the <div> element to group block elements within a table entry that share the same condition. Previously, long condition expressions were rendered in a narrow column to the left of the content, making them difficult to read. In Tridion Docs 15.2.2, condition rendering for <div> has been aligned with <p>, <ol>, and <ul> elements. Conditions are now displayed above the block, providing more space for lengthy expressions and improving alignment with the product preview.
