Joomla 6.1 adds workflow tools and broader media fields

Joomla 6.1 [Nyota] is now available, bringing new tools for spam protection, content workflows, media fields and module management to sites running the Joomla 6 series.

The latest minor release is aimed at both site administrators and extension-aware content teams. It includes more than 130 pull requests, with changes spanning everyday editorial and site-management tasks.

  • Proof-of-Work CAPTCHA returns as a privacy-friendly, invisible challenge that requires no account or API and works by solving background maths puzzles.
  • The new Visual Workflow Editor provides an interactive diagram of the publication process, making complex content pipelines easier to understand and manage.
  • Media Custom Fields now support audio, video and documents in addition to images, giving content creators more ways to attach media to content.
  • Version history is now available for modules, while multilingual sites can associate module instances across languages in the same way they associate articles.

Administrators with automatic updates enabled on 6.0.4 will be updated automatically to 6.1.0. Automatic updates support patch and minor updates from 5.4 and 6.0 onwards, but major-version changes still require a manual update in the backend or an external tool. The project provides both a full package and an upgrade package for the release.
