Web-based Workflow Designer for on-premises
Customers with on-premises DocuWare installations can now also experience the enhanced ease of use offered by web-based workflow creation. Automatic saving, undo and redo functions, support for keyboard shortcuts, and much more—editing workflows directly from within the DocuWare configuration is more convenient and efficient than ever.

New workflow features
- Send documents with annotations to web service:
If you use a REST web service in a workflow, you can now send documents as PDFs including annotations. This allows you to automatically transfer documents—including all information from stamps and comments—to connected systems via the API. - New endpoints for the Platform API allow you to create DocuWare groups and unclip documents.
- Advanced options for triggering workflow steps make it easier to migrate existing workflows from the old Workflow Designer to the new one.
Enhanced security and simplified configuration
- Two-factor authentication: Two-factor authentication was introduced in the previous release and can now be made mandatory for user log-in, enhancing the level of security.
- Cloud-to-cloud transfer: It is now possible to transfer large document volumes from one file cabinet to another between two different DocuWare Cloud organizations
- Configurations — now 100% in the browser: All configuration elements are now available in a single place in the browser-based DocuWare Configuration. It is no longer necessary to download or regularly update DocuWare Administration as a desktop app.
- DocuWare Server Manager: The new application for centralized system management of DocuWare on-premises systems goes beyond the capabilities of the previous Service Control. Here, you can also manage DocuWare app pools, test database connections and modify web connections with just a few clicks.
