Digital signatures are now removed automatically when uploading documents. That avoids signature errors in the final file (as editing in RedactManager would invalidate the signature).

With the respective license you can now also upload Office formats (.docx, .xlsx, .pptx) to RedactManager.

If you re-upload a file to a dossier – e.g., as part of a bulk upload – you can specify whether to overwrite the manually implemented changes or not.

RedactManager now supports correct redaction of PDF fonts that use ligature glyphs to represent two connected characters.

Home is RedactManager's new top user interface level. It lists the dossier templates and provides statistics on the dossiers linked to them.

Home

Clicking on one of the dossier templates will take you to the respective Dossier Overview, including the linked dossiers. In the Dossier Overview, you can switch between the dossier templates via the drop-down menu in the upper left corner.

Dossier templates drop-down and link to Home

Click on Home in the drop-down menu or the RedactManager logo in the top center of the page to return to Home.

For further information, please see Home.

The admin can now create multiple watermarks for each dossier template. If multiple watermarks have been defined, you can choose the watermark you want to apply to your dossier from a drop-down once you have enabled the watermark option.

Managers can no longer create dossier states. Only users with the Admin role can do that.

The dossier state of a dossier continues to be changed or set by the Dossier Owner.

When uploading files, you can now filter processed and processing files by clicking on the progress bar of the respective category in the Dashboard.

We have managed to improve the loading speed of files significantly.

When opening a document, RedactManager used to load the annotations on all pages (including thousands of annotations you would not review immediately). That sometimes caused the application to be unresponsive.

RedactManager now reloads the content dynamically (on demand and pagewise). The markings and annotations of a page will be loaded once you visit it. (That also applies to the panel view, for example.)

In case of larger files that still take longer to load, the new loading time indicator shows the remaining loading time.

If you resize a redaction, you can now decide to add the new value to the dictionary (if the redaction is dictionary-based).

Check the respective box in the Resize dialog.

Add the new value to the dictionary

If the new value is longer than the old one, a further entry will be added to the dictionary. If the new value is shorter, the old value will be overwritten (because it obviously was wrong).

For further information, please see Editing options in the Editor.

In case of image-based hints, the  Remove only here feature has no effect and therefore has been removed. Remove only here is only available for image redactions.

The Highlights view is now called the Earmarks view. For further information, please see Earmarks view.

The rectangle redaction mode remains enabled again when you change pages and then return to the page. (That was temporarily not the case in version 3.3.)

For further information, please see Rectangle redaction.

You can also bulk select annotations across several pages again. (That was temporarily not the case in version 3.3.)

For further information, please see Workload in the Editor.
