Liferay CMS
Liferay CMS 2026.Q4+
Liferay CMS is a platform for creating, organizing, and delivering digital content. With it, you can manage your assets in one place and deliver them to any website, application, or other channel through headless APIs.
Liferay CMS supports these core content management requirements:
- Providing each team a dedicated space for its members, content, and files
- Modeling any kind of content with content structures that define the fields it needs
- Controlling who sees and edits content with role-based permissions, including defaults for spaces and folders
- Keeping content easy to find with vocabularies, categories, and tags shared across spaces
- Reviewing content with approval workflows before it’s published
- Tracking changes by comparing and restoring earlier versions
- Reaching global audiences by translating content yourself, through XLIFF files, or automatically with machine translation services
- Delivering content anywhere through REST and GraphQL APIs
- Using your existing sign-in by connecting your organization’s identity provider through SAML or OpenID Connect
Liferay CMS and Liferay DXP
Liferay CMS is available as its own subscription, separate from Liferay DXP. It’s built for teams that create and manage content and then deliver it to other channels. Liferay DXP includes the same CMS, along with capabilities that Liferay CMS doesn’t include:
- Site and page building
- Commerce
- Personalization, such as Segments and A/B testing
Because the two products share the same CMS, most Liferay CMS documentation is in the Liferay DXP documentation, under Liferay Content Management System. For the full lists of the applications and settings that Liferay CMS includes, see Applications and Settings in Liferay CMS.
Integrating Liferay CMS with Other Liferay Products
You can extend Liferay CMS with these Liferay products, each available separately:
- Content Marketing Platform (CMP): Plan and track marketing campaigns around your content. CMP requires its own license, and its pages stay hidden until the license is active.
- AI Hub: Add AI agents and AI writing tasks for your content. Machine translation doesn’t require AI Hub.
