Using the Full Page Application Page Type

Deprecated for Liferay DXP 2026.Q3+

Important

Full page application pages are scheduled for removal in a future major release. Content pages are their replacement.

On a new installation, the Full Page Application type does not appear in the page creation wizard. Using it there requires enabling the Widget Pages deprecation feature flag, which governs the Widget Page, Full Page Application, and Panel types. On an upgraded installation, the flag is already enabled, so the type still appears and is marked Deprecated.

Create a new page and select Full Page Application under Other.
Enter a name and click Add.
Under Layout, select the Full Page Application you want to display from a list of available options.

By default, you can set the Blogs, Wiki, Media Gallery, Message Boards, RSS Publisher, Documents and Media, or Application Authorization Request to be the sole application for the page. Developers can also make their applications full page applications.
Click Save to apply the changes.

Scoping Full Page Application Data

All applications supported by the full page application page type are non-instanceable, so the content of the application you choose by default is based on the instance for that site. If you already have data in your application, such as Documents and Media, it appears on the page. If you want to configure a full page application to be scoped to a specific page, you can configure that through the application’s settings. Below is an example for a Documents and Media application:

From the page, click () in the widget header → Configuration.

Note

Before Liferay DXP 2025.Q1/Portal GA132, the Configuration option appeared in the widget’s top-right corner.
In the Configuration modal, select the Scope tab.
Select the scope from a list of available scopes or create a new one.
