Outlook Add-in Improvements, Picture & Video Uploads on Mobile, API Update, Improvements to Emails and Guest Accounts, and more!

Axcient is pleased to announce Anchor version 2.3.2, our latest release that includes a host of new features, improvements, and fixes. This release includes new features and improvements for the Outlook Add-In, new features for mobile users, and other fixes.

Outlook Add-in: New Features & Improvements

• Return of the "Convert to Synced Tool file" button
  • In a previous release, Anchor version 2.2.4, the "Convert to Synced Tool file" button was removed to simplify and consolidate the ribbon. In this release, the "Convert to Synced Tool file" button has been restored to add point-in-time functionality for one-off use cases. Attachments will still be converted, based on attachment policy, when forwarded.
• Two-step authentication support: Users with two-step authentication enabled will now be prompted for two-step verification when using the Outlook Add-in
• Fixed delay caused by Outlook Add-In scanning Deleted Items folder
• Resolved duplicate attachment issue

iOS and Android: New Features & Improvements

*The mobile updates will be submitted during this release cycle, and will be rolled out for general availability pending App Store approval*

• Picture and video backups: Mobile users can now back up their Camera Roll/Gallery to an Anchor Team Share.
• Migration to API v2: Mobile app functionality will be migrated to API v2 over the course of the next few updates.

Anchor: New Features & Improvements

• API session token default expiration: The default setting of the API session token expiration time is now 30 days, changed from unlimited. The API token setting can currently be found under Organization > Policies > API Token Settings.
• HTML & branding support for Daily Digest Email: The daily digest email can now be delivered in HTML format, inheriting the branded logo, with a copy of the raw text attached to the email.
• Custom email template for multiple shares: The template for messages to a single recipient containing multiple share links can now be customized. The Email Template Settings can currently be found under System Settings > Email > Templates > Email Template Settings > Multiple Shares Email.
• Custom Welcome Emails no longer require {password}: There is no longer a requirement to include {password} shortcode in all custom emails.  Now you can customize the email with or without the {password} shortcode.
• Guest Account deletion: Guests can now delete their own Guest Accounts.
• Time-sensitive passwords for Guest Accounts: When creating a Guest Account, users now have the option of specifying a time period for automatic password expiration: 6 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours, or Never.
• Opt-out of Guest Account creation welcome email: When creating a Guest Account, users can now opt out of sending the Guest Account creation welcome email.
• Updated SSL ciper suites: The Rivest Cipher 4 (RC4) was removed from the Apache Web Server Cipher Suite due to a phasing out of the long-used cipher (deprecated support for IE on Windows XP).

Anchor: Fixes

• Agents Now Install Branding When Proxy Server is Set: When an agent is installed within an environment that includes an HTTP proxy server, the agent will now reflect its organization’s branding settings. 
• Removing Windows Profile No Longer Deletes Data: For newer versions of Windows (Windows 7 and above), removing a Windows profile without unlinking the registered agent will no longer unexpectedly delete data from the Anchor server.
• Resolved unique Team Share edge cases related to renames.
