We have a lot planned for project-extranet in 2012; it’s going to be a busy year. We start off by introducing the new document workspace feature.
The aim of the document workspace is to enhance your extranets document collaboration capabilities, simplifying the interface around document management, and introducing a greater visibility of who has downloaded each document version.
As you can see from the screenshot above each version of your document now gets its own tab. Your project members can discuss each specific version by posting comments and you can review all document versions in one view by using the ‘All Versions’ tab.
You can also see who has (and who hasn’t) downloaded the document in the handy downloaded report. Very useful for making sure you and team members have the most up-to-date version.
I know some of you have documents that have documents with over 300 versions; this is designed to be of help in these scenarios as well as for those who only have a few.
Related to the document workspace, the newsfeed has also been enhanced so that when a post related to a document appears there is a direct link to that documents workspace.
Our help article for the document workspace can be found in our extranet help and guides section.
As always we hope you find the new extranet document features useful, and if you have any feedback for us please do let us know via your usual channel or via the contact section of the website.
To finish things of, I said at the start of this post that we have a lot planned for project-extranet in 2012 and this is true. I can’t say anything just yet, but stay tuned to www.project-extranet.com/news/ as we will be announcing something exciting very soon!
Until then…
Gerry
