I am pleased to announce the availability of the Workshare Protect 6.2 SR2 Release Candidate.
Just like the Release Candidate for Workshare Professional that was announced last week, the new version of Workshare Protect has been very focused on improving product quality. If you missed it be sure to read the post on Professional for more details on how we realigned resources, improved processes and focused the entire engineering team on product quality to improve these products.
Besides improved quality and a 50% reduction in the size of the installation package, there are a few new features being introduced:
Permanently Remove Sensitive Information (Document Redaction)
Now you can redact (black out) selected content in Microsoft Word (DOC and DOCX) documents so that it is no longer discernible. Use document redaction tools to black out sensitive information and permanently delete the content from your document. Document redaction will replace your text with “pipes” (||||||) on a black background.
Redaction is designed to permanently remove content within a document and to put an indicator in its place showing a redaction occurred. By including document redaction Workshare customers will have one more tool to remove and protect sensitive information before distributing documents outside their organization.
Metadata Discovery in Password-Protected Documents
Password-protected documents that contain metadata now prompt you to clean in order to prevent future discovery of metadata.
Previewing Cleaned Attachments & PDF Conversions
When cleaning email attachments, or converting them to PDF, you can now preview the cleaned attachment or the PDF before sending your email.
