Notable Corrections

  • An issue that caused an error message to display when re-indexing a document has been resolved.  
    • An error would display if a user selected “Re-index”, but did not make any changes to the panel.  This is resolved.
  • An issue that prevented documents from displaying when the filename contained unsupported characters has been resolved.
    • Users will no longer be able to add files that contain unsupported characters in the document name.
