Dear AODocs Users,

We’re pleased to announce the release of AODocs 67.

This version brings three main changes: 

• Our brand-new views are now widely available. They’re faster loading and offer several new features, including the ability to edit properties directly from them. You can activate them on your domain or in individual libraries. 
• More for Microsoft users. It's now possible to import from OneDrive and create Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files within AODocs.
• Users can annotate and redact documents.

The new views are ready and bring many new features

Document views have been revamped, and now let users benefit from these new features:

• Ability to edit most document property types directly from the views
• Faster loading
• Better accessibility
• Ability to pin and autosize columns
• Attached files panel is now available for libraries using Google Cloud and Azure storage
• Revamped actions such as the Copy and Move menus

The new views and library homepage aren’t yet activated by default in AODocs 67. However, it’s easy to opt in. Library administrators can activate (and deactivate) them in the library administration. Select Features in the left panel and activate the switch.

Learn more: 

• Activate or deactivate early-access features on your domain
• Activate or deactivate early-access features in libraries

The new views will be active by default in AODocs 68, coming in autumn 2025. You’ll still be able to opt out for a few releases after that.

These are the main features that aren’t yet available in the new views:

• Virtru encryption
• Bookmarklets
• Custom toolbar buttons

Annotate and redact files

AODocs 67 introduces the annotation and redaction feature.

Note: This feature is currently available only in libraries using Google Drive. It will soon be available in libraries using Google Cloud and Azure Blob storage. 

Important: This feature isn't available by default. If you're interested in activating it, contact the AODocs Support team by email at support@aodocs.com or open a ticket.

As an editor of an AODocs document, you can annotate and redact attached files in the AODocs advanced preview.

You can download the resulting file as a PDF. Alternatively, you can save it as an attached PDF file in the current AODocs document or in a new AODocs document.

You can annotate and redact many file formats. For example, Microsoft Office suite, Google format, EML, PDF, and so on.

And there’s so much more brewing…

The new views are only the beginning.

The rest of the AODocs application, including the document page and the domain homepage, will be rebuilt in several phases over subsequent releases.
