# eZ Platform v2.3

**Version number**: v2.3

**Release date**: October 5, 2018

**Release type**: Fast Track

## Notable changes

### Content scheduling

Note

You can now schedule content on a Page to become visible at a specific time in the future.

To do this you can use the **Schedule** tab in any block's configuration or a special Content Scheduler block.

In the **Schedule** tab you can define when any block becomes visible and when it disappears from a Page.

Content Scheduler is a special block with a queue of content items, each with its own airtime. The Content becomes available at the airtime, and is replaced with new content items coming in from the queue.

All changes to scheduled content on a Page are visible in the timeline.

The timeline also shows other events, such a Content published with the date-based publisher.

For more information, see [advanced publishing options](https://doc.ibexa.co/projects/userguide/en/2.5/publishing/advanced_publishing_options) in User Documentation.

### Form Builder

Note

The new Form Builder enables you to create Form content items with multiple form fields.

You can preview and download submissions in the back office.

See [Extending Form Builder](https://doc.ibexa.co/en/2.5/guide/extending/extending_form_builder) for information on how to modify and create Form fields.

For more information, see [forms](https://doc.ibexa.co/projects/userguide/en/2.5/creating_content_advanced/#forms) in User Documentation.

### ImageAsset field type

You can now create a single source media library with images that can be reused across the system.

For more information, see [Reusing images](https://doc.ibexa.co/en/2.5/guide/images/#reusing-images) and [ImageAsset field type reference](https://doc.ibexa.co/en/2.5/api/field_types_reference/imageassetfield).

### Regenerating URL aliases

A new `ezplatform:urls:regenerate-aliases` command enables you to regenerate all URL aliases. You can use it after changing URL alias configuration, or in case of database corruption.

For more information, see [Regenerating URL aliases](https://doc.ibexa.co/en/2.5/guide/url_management/#regenerating-url-aliases).

### User preferences

You can now access and set user preferences in the user menu.

It's covered by the `user/preferences` policy.

### Dates in preferred timezone

eZ Platform can now display dates across the system using timezone from User Settings.

### Improved selection in UDW

Selection of content in Universal Discovery Widget has seen improvements, in particular when selecting multiple content items.

### API improvements

Improvements to the API cover:

- [`UserPreferenceService`](https://github.com/ezsystems/ezpublish-kernel/blob/v7.3.0/eZ/Publish/API/Repository/UserPreferenceService.php)
- [`ASSET` Relation type](https://github.com/ezsystems/ezpublish-kernel/blob/v7.3.0-rc2/eZ/Publish/Core/REST/Client/Input/Parser/Relation.php#L84)
- `TrashItem->trashed` timestamp covers when a content item was placed in Trash
