3DEXPERIENCE R2025x major release highlights for collaborative apps

The 3DEXPERIENCE R2025x major releases deliver smarter tools for communication, content sharing, and visualization, making digital work more immediate and integrated. Listed below are a few of the highlights from this year’s major releases:

Generative content summaries in 3DSwym: The introduction of AI-driven generative summaries for long discussions and documents in 3DSWYM communities. This feature leverages AI to rapidly synthesize knowledge and reduce information overload, this is a major value-add for customers managing large-scale collaborative projects – and an exceptionally practical use of AI within the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.

Automated groups for dynamic user management: Automated groups now use business roles and skills from ENOVIA Workforce Management to automatically compute and update memberships in real time. This update allows organizations to keep group assignments and permissions in sync with people’s actual responsibilities and expertise, minimizing manual admin work, reducing access errors, and enhancing compliance. In larger deployments, the new group export and activity viewer streamline enterprise-level user management.

Mash-up dashboards in 3DDashboard: The ability to drag and drop multiple web apps and 3DEXPERIENCE apps (like 3DPlay, Kanban Boards, etc.) into personalized dashboards and persist layout and session state. This empowers users to create highly tailored command centers combining engineering and business tools.
