The Tridion Docs team have been hard at work on the latest feature enhancements, and the latest quarterly release is out. It includes improvements to editorial experience in Draft Publication Manager, Draft Space, Draft Companion (the AI assistant in Draft Space), and Review Space. 

Meanwhile, the team is getting straight on with the big 15.3 update targeted for June. The biggest feature in that is the first iteration of our combined web editor with the power of Publication Manager. (Think Draft Space++!) More news on that to follow — watch this forum. 

Here are the improvements in Docs 15.2.1 — an easy update, so why not try it now! 

Collective Spaces 

For Draft Companion, our AI assistant in Draft Space, we have upgraded the underlying LLM to a more recent model. This brings deeper reasoning, larger context, and more capable tooluse, improving both accuracy and robustness. 

We have also refined how inline images are positioned in Collective Spaces. Images now align more consistently within list items (such as <li>) and table cells, improving readability and visual structure. 

Customers who use tables as variables to centrally manage and reuse data across publications will now see these variable references automatically adjust to the available screen width, ensuring better layout and usability.

Review Space continues to provide an incontext environment for reviewing final documents. For customers who rely on conditional content, Review Space now supports displaying it through a configuration option (off by default), enabling teams to tailor the review experience.

In addition to the enhancements introduced in Tridion Docs 15.2 to strengthen Translation Management, this update brings even more improvements to Translation Jobs. 

  • Many customers work with only one source language and a single translation template. These are now automatically pre-selected in the Translation Job wizard, reducing setup time and improving overall usability. 
  • Because a large number of customers exclude images from translation, the Image option is now unselected by default in the Translation Job creation wizard, simplifying the configuration process. 
  • For situations where the default size of the Translation Job wizard is insufficient, we have introduced an option to expand it to full screen for a more comfortable working area. 
  • We also added an option to reset a translation job after it has been exported from Tridion Docs. Using the Cancel button, users can return all language versions to “to be translated,” allowing them to create a new job for the same publication(s) with an updated subset of document objects. 

We also improved the Events view by adding an All option to the Date modified filter. The event action details view previously displayed large XML content and metadata in a single panel, making it difficult to read. These are now separated into two subtabs for easier navigation and processing. 

Finally, we addressed several issues related to regional datetime settings. Tridion Docs now supports the Korean national standard (KS X ISO 8601, formerly KSX1511), and users can create Translation Jobs in the Japanese UI while keeping the regional datetime format set to English (US). 

Publication Manager 

This release brings a series of fixes and enhancements that improve the performance, reliability, and usability of Publication Manager: 

  • Draganddrop for root book maps now works correctly when adding the root book map to a publication. 
  • When a single object is updated, its status information is reloaded in the list immediately, without delays. 
  • Variable references in Oxygen XML Editor now correctly open the corresponding library topic when clicked, improving navigation and editing efficiency. 
  • Performance when opening large library topics has been improved, reducing loading time and enhancing responsiveness. 
  • Circular references during Baseline autocomplete are now handled more reliably. 
  • Offlinemode installation is now more robust, resulting in a more predictable setup experience in restricted environments. 

Security 

Tridion Docs 15.2.1 includes recent security updates to keep high standards of Security policy.
