• In this release, all users will be automatically switched to the new enhanced upload.
• This change provides a modern, intuitive flow for uploading, with flexible upload templates. It also lays the groundwork for future upload improvements – enabling multiple file types to be registered under a single document.
• To support future improvements, we’ll retire the previous upload flows over the coming months. 
• You'll be able to switch back to your previously used method for a limited time, until the previous methods are retired.
• Learn more about the new enhanced upload

• You no longer have to maintain separate templates for each upload flow.
• If you're using the new enhanced upload, the upload template can be used in any available upload flow. For example, if you download a template from the Bulk Processing flow, you can use it in the Update Metadata Only flow.
• This applies to Add or Update Documents Add or Update Placeholders, Bulk Processing, and Update Metadata Only.
• Keep in mind the rules for each of the upload flows remain the same. For example, the file column will be ignored if you are creating placeholders, but is mandatory if you are updating documents.
• This feature is only available for the new enhanced upload.

• Thanks to your feedback, Project Admins can now decide which upload template is used on their project.
• By default, projects using project fields on document types have a multi-sheet template with a tab for each document type. Other projects use a single-sheet template with all available document fields and project fields in one sheet.
• A new project preference allows you to choose the template for your project, regardless of other configurations. So, if you're using project fields on document types, you can switch your project over to the single-sheet template to see all available fields together.
• Time saving features are available in either template, such as dropdowns for single-select fields, and populated filenames if you uploaded them.
• The Metadata Template in Uploads and Bulk Processing preference only applies to the new enhanced upload.

• You asked for flexibility to handle negative review outcomes. You got it. 
• When configuring each step of a review rule, you'll find the setting to complete the review on a negative outcome. This is available for both sequential and parallel steps.
• As an example, this allows you to terminate a sequential review once a rejection occurs while allowing parallel steps to proceed. 

• Set standardized measurement units when exporting object properties to CSV. This helps you avoid manual conversions and reduce errors.
• Once enabled, you can select a preferred unit for each measurement type. Then, all linear, area, and volume values are exported in your chosen units (Metric or US Customary).
• Each column header in the CSV clearly displays the unit abbreviation, giving immediate context for downstream analysis and collaboration.
• Your browser will remember your choices unless you clear your browser cache.

A new Project Participant Report is available for Org Admins and Project Admins to help them manage project participants and identify active users. 

You'll need to have the Download Project Participant Report permission granted to your user role to run this report. Org Admins can view data for all projects owned by their organization, while Project Admins can only view data for the projects they manage.

The report contains:

• Projects owned by your organization.
• Organizations participating on your projects. This helps you identify organizations that may need to be archived on your projects.
• A list of users participating in each of your projects. This helps you identify users that are hidden in the project directory.
• A list of users participating on your projects who have accessed Aconex in the last 60 days.

• You let us know you needed more flexibility for template approvals.
• Now, if an Associate publishes a template and there are no Administrators in their organization, they can select an organization to approve it. Previously only the project-owning organization was able to approve the template.

• If you choose the wrong organization or make a mistake, you can withdraw your approval request and republish the template.

• Test Plan Administrators (from the project-owning organization) can configure the list of available approvers in project settings.
• To retain existing behaviour, the list of approvers contains the project-owning organization by default. You can remove the project-owning organization as an approver, but you must select at least one organization first.
