DocuWalk 3.1 went live on Monday, the 22nd of March 2021. Here’s an overview of a few updates to our platform.

File Management

When you delete an entire project a warning will appear asking you if you are sure you want to delete the Project. If the Project folder is empty, no warning will appear.

Note: in DocuWalk whenever a contract has been signed it is not possible to delete the file.

Upgraded Elements

When you click out of an Element it now has a Saving Changes message appear.

Avatars are a little less blurry

Navigation

Now you can navigate to a document directly from the avatar pictures under the alarm bell. Each notification in the menu will have a link to the document it references.

Upgraded Avatars

We also made some improvements to the avatar pictures that show up for each account owner. They are less blurry and if you hover your cursor over the picture the person’s full name will appear.
