New Feature
Manage Documents with a Unified Document View
Documents are now organized around a single document view rather than appearing separately across Working Copies, Effective & Retired, and Archived tabs. Working copies and released versions are grouped under the same document, making it easier to understand the relationship between the current working version and released versions.
The Documents view now includes Archived as a separate view, while the views section can also be collapsed to give you more space when working with your documents. When opening a specific older minor version from the audit trail or version history, the document view also displays the relevant major and minor version number. Document-level Audit Trail information now brings together activity for the document, its working copy, and its released versions.
How this supports your work
Find a document without navigating between separate document tabs.
Understand the relationship between working and released versions more easily.
Identify the specific version you are viewing, including older minor versions.
Review document activity across its versions from one Audit Trail.
Keep the Documents workspace more focused and easier to navigate.
