Bugfixing

Bug fixes

The following issues are fixed in this release:

• Anonymous users were being displayed incorrectly in the activity report
• Anonymous users were shown a login form when trying to access the document actions report. Since they don’t have permission, the report is now hidden from them

New document activity data upgrade rollback option

In the app’s global Document Activity Upgrade screen, a global administrator can now use a Revert Upgrade option to roll back the upgraded document activity data in a selected space. Only one space can be reverted at a time.

This reverts the workflow event and activity history in a selected space to page activity. It also updates the related content properties for the pages and the space, including the Document Activity Upgrade Status, to indicate that the approval workflow data has not been upgraded to use document activity.

Bug fixes

• Fixed broken user links in email notifications using the page activity macro.
• Approval workflow details now appear correctly in the Add Workflow dialog.
• Fixed time discrepancies in the document activity report (previously one hour behind).
• Resolved issue where users with multiple pending read assignments could only view the first page in their report.

Bug fixes

The following issues are fixed in this release:

• The document activity and reports did not display the user-configured time zone settings. The dates are displayed correctly according to the user’s preferred time zone settings.
• Previously, clicking the workflow toolbar icon did not display any preview. This issue has been fixed, and the workflow preview modal now opens as expected.
• Invalid space keys are not throwing an error in Space Workflows under security settings in the Global Configuration. The issue is fixed – the valid spaces are stored, the invalid space keys are automatically removed, and a message is displayed notifying users about the invalid entries.

Enhancements

A new global administrator can hide the app action options in the page tools menu

When the page tools actions are unchecked, approval workflow action options, such as the Add Approval, are not displayed in the page tools menu.

The new Ancestor page filter lets you filter the report data for all descendant pages (direct children, grandchildren) of the specified ancestor page.

The following issues are fixed in this release:

• workflow state names do not appear in the Page Properties Report when the macro filters by workflow state.
• fixed an issue where the Refresh Data action was displayed in the document report macros for users without administrator permissions, even though it was not permitted
• the document stats report macro incorrectly displayed a page with no applied approval workflow if the page had a retained workflow history
• fixed a bug where special characters were not properly displayed in emails of app notifications
• security patches to fix vulnerabilities
