Enhancements:

• Introduced ability to copy a document or project using Document Creation Wizard (DCW) and load attributes from original document(s).
• Added ability to copy flat sets using Document Creation Wizard (DCW)
• Added ability to version multiple files at the same time (previous behavior only allowed you to version one file at a time)
• UI enhancement to allow you to move info panel to the right or the bottom of the screen and resize to fill the entire grid view

Bug Fixes:

• Resolved issue where the environment name did not always display properly in the info panel
• Resolved issue when editing connections in document settings and enabling a work area connection, it did not properly reflect the primary connection status
• Fixed intermittent issue that resulted in newly created (not primary) connections not being displayed properly on document settings page

October 2023

Enhancements:

Bug Fixes:

• Fixed timestamp discrepancy between ProjectWise Web and ProjectWise Explorer
• Fixed inconsistent timezone issue on attribute panel
• Fixed issue in Document Creation Wizard where the a document code that has an extension included in the file name did not properly add the correct extension to the file name

• Fixed issues with notification messages being displayed too often when uploading multiple files and not being cleared after canceling downloads
• Improved error message when connection doesn't exist for a link

November 2022

The following enhancements apply to both ProjectWise Web and ProjectWise 365:

• View documents

  Users can open common Office 365 documents for viewing in a new browser tab, either by clicking the document name in the document list, or by clicking the check box next to the document and selecting View from the action menu.

• Office 365 co-authoring usability improvements

  Improved UI around Office 365 co-authoring to provide clear feedback to users around starting, joining, and ending sessions.

• Improved performance of initial project page load

  Initial page load was optimized. It should load faster for most users.

• Issues fixed

  Fixed document list column resizing issue.

July 2022

• UI update for Open, Check Out, Free
  • Document open, check out, check in and free commands have been moved to the top of menus and the toolbar.
  • Open in desktop app does not perform a permanent check out and allows ProjectWise Drive to make automatic check out, if needed.
  • Open read-only in desktop app option was merged into Open in desktop app option, and will ask for read-only option when it is possible.

• Confirmations when freeing documents and ending co-authoring

  Ending an Office 365 co-authoring session now lists the users who participated in the session and asks for confirmation before proceeding, to avoid accidental data loss if the session was closed prematurely.

• New Versions for documents marked as Final

  You can now create a new version of a document that is marked as Final.

• Issues Fixed
  • Files with some special characters in the name failed to be uploaded when using the Create Document Wizard.
  • Fixed view selection issue on Out to me page.
  • Sometimes picklist values were empty in the Attribute form of the Create Document Wizard.
  • Other fixes

June 2022

• Auto user sync

  (requires ProjectWise Plug-in for WSG CONNECT Edition Update 3.4 R4 (10.00.03.462) or later)

  When auto user sync is enabled in the primary work area connection, the current participants of the work area are automatically added to the team members list of the ProjectWise project. ProjectWise Web will then synchronize the project with the work area participants list every 24 hours to make sure the team members list in the project is always up to date. In order to turn this setting on, the connection must be the primary connection.

  See Adding and Configuring Work Area Connections

April 2022

This release introduces the following enhancements for work area connection management:

• Primary connection

  You can now designate one work area connection in each project as the primary connection. The primary connection establishes a one-to-one relationship between the project and work area and is used as the default connection by ProjectWise Web and other cloud services. Designating a connection as the primary connection also automatically enables the use of ProjectWise Drive in that connection.

  See Adding and Configuring Work Area Connections

• New permissions to allow non-IMS admins to manage project connections

  An administrative team member who is not an admin in Bentley IMS can now add or manage work area connections as long as they have BOTH of these project permissions enabled:

  • PS Federated Connections > Modify PS Federated Connections
  • Product Settings Service > Manage Settings

  See Work Area Connection Requirements

• Connection health check

  In the connections list, a warning or information icon will appear next to a connection that requires some kind of attention or additional configuration. For example, if the work area in the primary connection is not currently associated to the project, or if the version of the ProjectWise Plug-in for WSG needs to be updated.
