Customize theme templates from the admin UI, faster role setup - This week in Orchard (30/10/2026)

Want to override a theme's Liquid templates without creating a new theme or restarting your app? Theme Customization, now continuing as Assisted Templates, clones them into the Templates store right from the admin UI.

Tired of hunting for the permissions page after creating a role? The new Save & Configure button takes you straight there.

And has a workflow ever silently done nothing because it had no startup task? Orchard Core now marks the first event as the startup task, and warns you if a workflow doesn't have one.

We also share how we repositioned Lombiq.com for the people who decide on critical platform projects.

This week's changes come from Rajeev Kumar and Sotiris Roussos.

AI Knowledge Base Indexing, Arguments Source Generation - This week in Orchard (10/04/2026)

This week in Orchard, we've got some exciting updates you won't want to miss!

Mike Alhayek showcases Knowledge Base Indexing, which automatically chunks, embeds, and indexes source documents into a unified AI Knowledge Base index for efficient vector search.

Hisham Bin Ateya introduces the new OrchardCore.ContentFields.Core module. You can now use content fields without pulling in the entire ContentFields module.

Thanks to Georg von Kries, Orchard Core now leverages source generators to boost performance by generating code at compile time and reducing reflection on critical paths.

And don't miss our RESCON case study, highlighting how we supported the builders of Ontario.
