The Headless CMS with
Built-In Governance
Deliver content to every channel through APIs, and control who can edit it and who can see it.
What Is Liferay CMS?
A headless CMS stores content separately from how it is displayed, so teams create content once and deliver it to any channel through APIs. Liferay CMS adds what most leave out: governance that continues after publishing, with role based permissions that control who can edit content and who can see it, in one platform.

Model content the way your business works.
Rebuilding the same content for every site, app, and device wastes time. Use pre-defined structures, or build your own without writing code, with nested fields, validations, and references. Content is stored as structured data, not as pages, so you manage it once and deliver it everywhere, with localization options set in the structure itself.

Add teams, brands, and markets without losing consistency.
As content scales across teams and regions, it gets harder to find and keep on brand. Give every team, brand, or region its own space, with the permissions, languages, and sharing rules they control, all in one shared library with a built-in DAM. Central teams see everything without becoming the bottleneck.
Control who can change your content, and who can see it.
Most headless CMSs stop governing content once it is published. In Liferay CMS, role based permissions govern both authoring and delivery, in one platform, so customer portals, partner sites, and intranets draw on the same library as your public website. Approvals run in parallel, required disclosures cannot be skipped, and you can roll back without changing the published URL.

Simplify translation and localization.
Managing translations manually is slow and error-prone. Translate side by side, automate a first pass with machine translation, or export XLIFF for your agency and import the results. Liferay CMS supports 50+ languages out of the box, including regional differences like date formats and spelling.
Let your developers use the tools they prefer.
Every content structure automatically gets REST and GraphQL APIs, so developers build with React, Angular, Vue, or whatever they already use. Content is delivered over open web standards, not vendor-specific connectors. An open MCP server lets AI assistants and agents read and act on your content while respecting every role and permission.

See what you have, and how it performs.
Teams cannot improve content they cannot see. A content inventory shows what is new in any period and how assets are spread across structures, categories, and tags, filtered by space and language. Add the Liferay Data Platform to track impressions, views, downloads, and reads across spaces, and to see each asset's own metrics without leaving the CMS.
Performance dashboard and in context analytics require the Liferay Data Platform add-on.
Produce more content. Govern every output.
AI Hub brings prebuilt and custom AI agents into your content workflow, with your guardrails and brand tone built in. Generate on-brand drafts and images, refine writing, and automate tagging and translation. Every AI output is reviewed before publishing.

How Liferay CMS Works with Other Product Modules
CMS + Content Marketing Platform
Add campaign coordination when your team is ready for it. Liferay CMP runs natively on Liferay CMS, bringing campaign planning, task management, approvals, and publishing orchestration into the platform your content already lives in. There is no connection layer to build, so campaign context stays with every asset from brief to publication.
CMS + AI Hub
Scale content production without giving up control. Adding AI Hub brings prebuilt and custom AI agents into your content workflow to draft content and images, improve writing, and handle tagging and translation, all governed by your guardrails and brand tone. Every output is reviewed before it is published.
CMS + Liferay Data Platform
See how your content performs without leaving the CMS. The Liferay Data Platform adds a performance dashboard that tracks impressions, views, downloads, and reads across spaces, and in context analytics on every asset, so teams know what to update, reuse, or retire.
