LAGO TANA 6.10 is available now!
Dear customer,
A new year begins — and with it a great opportunity to simplify processes, increase efficiency, and set new standards in your daily work. We hope you have started the year with energy and optimism. That is exactly what inspired our latest LAGO software release: powerful enhancements designed to streamline your workflows and give you more time to focus on what truly matters.
Feature highlights – clear benefits, greater efficiency:
- Edit InDesign files directly – without project boundaries
With the new LAGO Layout workflow, you can work directly on InDesign documents stored as assets in LAGO DAM. No projects or document structures are required—simply import, open, and start working. This reduces complexity, saves time, and offers maximum flexibility for your layout processes. - Spanish user interface
LAGO is now available in Spanish, enabling smoother collaboration for international and Spanish-speaking teams. - More efficient work in PIM
The new global element search in LAGO PIM allows you to quickly find, edit, and reuse elements across projects. In addition, manual document compression helps optimize file sizes and improve overall performance.
Discover all additional enhancements and details in the complete feature list — it’s well worth exploring!
Kind regards from Hamburg

Workflow for InDesign documents outside of a project context
- LAGO Layout now offers the possibility to directly work on InDesign files that are stored as assets within LAGO DAM. This allows to work on InDesign files without having to create a project and document structure beforehand. Users can import InDesign files via the Asset Light Table directly into LAGO DAM. From the Asset Light Table InDesign files can be directly opened within InDesign. The files will be marked as checked out and other users will receive a message that the file is being worked on.
Placing images from the Asset Light Table into these InDesign files is also possible. In addition, they can be part of an Asset Workflow. This allows you to include any additional content that is built within InDesign to be included into the LAGO Workflow.
Spanish UI
- ¡Hola! The LAGO UI is now available also in Spanish! For the web clients, the UI is shown in Spanish, based on the selected locale within the browser.
Formatting placeholder text with HTML tags
- It is possible to use HTML tags within placeholder fields, which are then resulting in formatted text within LAGO Layout. The tags are either imported or manually added to the placeholder field. The following tags are supported:
„<li>“ translated to bullet list item
„<br>“ translated to hard return
„<i>“ translated to an italic font face of the current font (font face name is defined via Central Configuration)
„<b>“ translated to a bold font face of the current font (font face name is defined via Central Configuration)
„	“ is translated to tab
Evaluating and Testing of Placement Rules in LAGO Layout
- LAGO Layout now offers the possibility to evaluate and test a Placement Rule of an Element Layout. The evaluation is being done in the context of a currently selected Element within a document. For this the Element Layout dialog needs to be opened, which now shows the script result in an additional column. This can help to faster identify why a Placement Rule may not deliver the desired result for the current Element.
Creation of Articles always with a Price
- All areas that allow the creation of an Article within LAGO, will now create them with a Price. Previously this was only the case when manually creating an Article within LAGO Explorer. For consistency, Articles will now also be created with a Price via Standard Import, via API and during manual creation in PIM.
Enhancements to LAGO PIM
- In PIM a global element search has been implemented. This feature was already in LAGO Explorer where it is called “Element Lighttable”. With this, the user can find elements in different projects. From here the user may modify those elements or use the result list to copy elements to a project.
- LAGO PIM now also offers the possibility to manually compress documents.
Enhancements to LAGO DAM
- DAM now offers the possibility to create and assign catchwords to assets.
Enhancements to LAGO Whiteboard
- Whiteboard now allows you to move and resize multiple raster fields instead of having to do it one by one.
- Whiteboard now offers the possibility to manually perform a component pickup by using component pickup configurations.
Enhancements to LAGO Dashboard
- Access to report definition for SQL Dashboard widgets can be restricted via the new user role permission “Configure reports”. Only users that have a role with that permission are able to modify the Dashboard report SQL; others will only see the report results.”
