a. Features

This release includes the following new features:

You can now revoke Caseware Working Paper licences from the community

You are able to send in app notifications to all users in your firm to register Caseware Working Papers with the organisations new authorisation code. This is helpful when you renew your Caseware licences and all users need to be moved to the new authorisation code.

- From the success community licence management screen, you will be able to control when to send the notification out to users

- Users will get this notification with steps to follow when they open Caseware Working Papers

You are able to view all issues in a caseware file as tasks in caseware cloud

- It has to be a smartsync file that is integrated with Caseware Cloud and you must be using Cloud security on that file.

A Convert to Excel File (.xlsx) option has been added to the right-click menu in the Document Manager, which converts a CSV file to .xlsx and replaces the original file.

The Data Store Administration Tool is now compatible with Microsoft SQL Server 2025.

b. Fixes

This release includes fixes to the following issues:

After lockdown, opening a document's properties and clicking OK trimmed a leading space from the document name, creating a modification event after lockdown.

Excel imports truncated the extended map description in files that have multiple languages enabled.

Deleting the first folder in the Document Manager deleted all Document Manager content when a workflow layout was applied.

The History automatic document omitted some history events when filtering by a date range, due to a UTC timezone offset.

Files closed unexpectedly when signed into Caseware Cloud with certain privileges.

Child copies became stuck in a continuous syncing state.

Dragging and dropping multiple files into the Document Manager changed the content of every file after the first, resulting in documents with content from another file.

Working Papers defaulted to a fixed runtime instead of the evergreen WebView2 runtime.

Attaching an .sfc file to an issue resulted in an error due to a file corruption check that did not apply to uncompressed attachments.

External data cells in CaseView with an asterisk in the Form field caused data loss.

CaseView pie charts using the old look rendered a default set of data instead of the values passed to them.

CaseView crashed during HTML exports in documents with certain subdocument structures.
