Elevate Collaboration with the New Review Step in Workflows
Type: Improvement | Feature: Collaboration | Available in Serenity EE and GE since December | 📖 Read the doc
We're thrilled to announce a major upgrade to Akeneo’s Workflows feature: a dedicated Review step type and an all-new Discovery Page! This enhancement caters to teams needing a structured, collaborative review process—crucial for validating data, especially when using Gen-AI or supplier-provided content.
With the Review step, contributors can submit changes for approval, while reviewers can provide actionable feedback before final sign-off. This ensures data accuracy, brand consistency, and seamless collaboration at every stage.
Additionally, the Discovery Page helps more users discover and adopt workflows' full potential, encouraging them to contact their admins for the necessary permissions.
These improvements empower you to maintain high data quality and collaboratively accelerate product enrichment.

Handle Empty Values in Your Concatenations with the Latest Rules Engine Update
Type: Improvement | Feature: Governance | Available in Serenity EE and GE since December| 📖 Read the doc
We’re delighted to announce an enhancement to our Rules Engine that resolves a longstanding pain point for many customers: handling concatenations when one or more attributes are empty.
Previously, such rules would fail, causing frustrating workarounds and additional maintenance. Now, a simple toggle lets you decide if empty attributes should be treated as empty spaces within your concatenated result.
This update keeps existing rules running as usual while opening the door to more flexible rule configurations. This improvement will help save time, reduce errors, and deliver a smoother product data experience.
