Pre-release notes Workspace 365 v4.18.0
Updated this week

Hi,

The release of Workspace 365 v4.18.0 will be deployed on 21-11-2024 between 22:00 and 00:00 Central European Time. ​The following will be implemented when this version goes live:

Additions

  • The modification date of a Hub item is shown in the overview table in the Manage Hub items dialog.

  • A whitepaper and video about the top 10 steps to begin your Workspace 365 journey are added to the Welcome wizard. They can be found in the last step, "We have set up your Workspace!”. The guides and video, including the “Quick start guide”, are now also available on the Support page under the Helpful guides section in the product.

Technical items

  • The Calendar live tile could lead to a temporary unresponsive browser when displaying some appointments.

Fixes

  • Some app usages were not included in the used app analytics: Power BI, Azure Virtual Desktop, and YouTube.

  • It was impossible to change the admin role for users when user provisioning was enabled.

  • In the Safari browser, scrollbars would not always be visible when hovering over the content of a live tile.

  • Moving a space or group in the Manage spaces dialog could result in a temporary blank page in Chromium browsers.

  • It was impossible to create Hub items from the Create an item dialog if a user only had editor permissions on a category.

  • When duplicating a Hub template with a cover image, a console error would appear.

  • Changes to table sizes or paragraph colors in Hub items were not saved if it was the last element that had been changed.

  • The date in the description of an all-day calendar appointment in the Calendar app could be incorrect if the user’s time zone is west of UTC.

  • Saving a Hub item with a date too far in the future would provide generic feedback instead of a specific message.

  • It was impossible to create shareable links for SharePoint documents for external users if the SharePoint share configuration is set to "New and existing guest".

Improvements

  • When moving or copying a document and during that process, access is lost to that document or the destination, a more specific error message is shown in the Error dialog.

  • The new disabled styling is applied to shortcut tiles (1x1, 2x2). The background color, text, and app icon are lighter compared to before, which makes it easier to differentiate disabled tiles from non-disabled tiles.

  • The welcome email setting on the User management page is moved to a dialog, which can be opened by clicking the “Manage welcome email” button next to the Import button.

  • The icon for the button “Export users to CSV” on the Licensing page has been updated.

  • The width of the time section in the Calendar live list items is increased to make sure that AM/PM (UK time) is always visible.

  • The layout of the calendar appointment details dialog is changed. A two-column layout is used, where the date/time, location, calendar, reminder, and description are shown in the left column. The reminder is now displayed on the same card as the date/time, location, and calendar. The right column is completely reserved for the organiser and attendees. Response labels are added to the attendee list items. The description is now rendered as HTML (so images and links are fully functional now).

  • Hovering an avatar in The Hub comments opens a details box with contact details. By clicking the avatar, the contact details dialog will be opened.

  • Tooltips are added to the rich text editor toolbar options.

  • When an announcement is created from the New button in The Hub, the overview page is refreshed so the item is directly visible when available.

  • Secondary styling is used for buttons in the add tags component (e.g., used for adding skills and expertise to your user profile) and several input fields with a button next to it.

  • The icon for knowledge articles has been changed from a file to a book.

  • The layout of the Support page is changed. Three expandable sections are introduced: Support information (where the current support information is shown), Helpful guides, and Technical information. Only the Support information section is expanded by default.

  • The page content layout of several pages in the product has a new design. The new design has already been introduced for the Documents app in the previous release.

Settings pages

  • On all settings pages, the actionbar below the header is removed. Instead, the default actions are positioned at the far right of the page title. When selecting items, the title and default actions are replaced with contextual actions. The “Done” buttons are renamed to “Save”.

Address book app

  • The actionbar below the header is removed. On the personal contacts overview and details pages, the actions are positioned at the far right of the page title. The filter bars take up the whole available width and contain more detailed placeholders. The Sort by and Switch view buttons are next to the filter bar.

Calendar app

  • The actionbar is removed and the New button, Today button, Go to Outlook button, date slider, and view selector are positioned in one bar.

Email app

  • The New email button and filter bar are enlarged. The placeholder text of the filter bar is now more specific. Furthermore, more paddings are added to the actionbar.

Mobile app (for Google Play Store/App store release notes)

  • Downloading a file with "%" in its name would crash the Android mobile app.
