September 2023 – released Sitecore Experience Platform 10.1.3
This is a product update. Sitecore recommends that you upgrade to this release if it includes fixes that meet the specific needs of your organization. If this release does not include new functionality or specific fixes that your organization requires, you may benefit from waiting to upgrade until Sitecore releases an update that is relevant for your organization. This is especially true in production environments.
Highlights
Sitecore Experience Platform 10.1.3 includes:
- The media item duplication logic has been updated to resolve issues when deleting duplicates of a media item that shared the same blob. Now, duplicating a media item creates a duplicate of a blob. After upgrading to this version, you must run the
/sitecore/admin/duplicates.aspxadmin page to ensure all duplicate media items in your solution refer to a blob copy, not a shared one.
