Upgraded Activity Center for files: Activity Center for files is now upgraded to display multiple ongoing activities at a time i.e. Files uploaded on multiple folders or projects will be displayed under single activity center.

Improved interface for editing file attributes: The interface for editing file attributes has been improved in lines with the file upload interface.

Upgraded file distribution interface: The interface for file distribution has been upgraded in lines with the distribution option available within the file upload interface.

Improved performance while creating placeholders in bulk: The ‘Import from excel’ functionality available for creating placeholders in bulk is further optimized to deliver better performance.

File Selection to be retained after activity completion: Users performing right click activities on files will now have their selection of files retained after they complete the selected activity, so that they can proceed with performing other activities on the same set of files.
