Summary

This release includes:

  • New Features

    • Star files and folders in Drive - It is now possible to star your favorite files and folders in PreVeil Drive. A new tab "Starred" shows the full list of starred items to easily manage them.

  • Bug fixes

    • Drive Sharing fix - Fix to address issues sharing a folder with a non-PreVeil user for the first time.

    • Drive Move fix - Fix where files could potentially get overwritten when moving them to another Drive location in the local filesystem (Windows Explorer/Finder).

    • Move Mail fix - Fix to move emails to subfolders or custom mailboxes properly on the first attempt.

    • User Profile UI fix - Fix to display the full name of the user when having multiple words in their name.

    • Admin toolbar tooltip UI fix - Fix to display the tooltips in the Admin toolbar.

    • Trusted Communities search fix - Fix to display results when searching for mixed-case strings in Trusted Communities Admin settings.

  • Improvements

    • Cloud Edit - Added support for cloud editing PDF files using Foxit.

    • Domain whitelisting in Email Gateway - When whitelisting a domain in Email Gateway, if a user sent an email to someone in that domain, it would only show the domain in the To: field, not the user’s email address. An enhancement has been added that when a domain is whitelisted, and a user sends an email to that domain, it now shows the entire email address.

    • File Lock status in Drive's UI - The file's lock status icon is now automatically refreshed in shared folders when another user locks the file for editing.

    • Email Groups are now User Groups - In the Admin console, the Email Groups have been renamed as User Groups. It is strictly a name change.

    • Help Center link update - The Help Center link now points to the new and improved Support page which incorporates an AI-backed chat.
