Workshare has released an update to Professional 5.2 that focuses on speed and stability, welcome news for anyone using this great tool. They even added support for Windows 7 for those firms adopting it ahead of the first service pack release. Foremost, the Protect client has been entirely rewritten to increase stability and speed and lower its footprint in Outlook. That means that using Protect will be seamless and reduce interruptions, letting you be more productive.

Other key features in the SR3 release include 

Protect

• Faster email address resolution for Outlook users -  Protect will determine whether an email is external or internal up to 425% faster.  This drastically reduces the time for Protect to pop up. This is an out of the box improvement which is automatically used on all email.
• Re-architecture of Email Scanning - Protect no longer scans the body of an email just by highlighting it. This drastically reduces Protect processing within email and means the user experience of navigating/opening/auto previewing is much faster- no more “sticky” Outlook
• Faster PDF Generation -  greatly increased the speed of PDF Conversion across multiple document sizes up to over 200% than earlier releases.
• No More Blocked Emails - Not only is the error-handling improved, Protect now never blocks an email and (where possible) will inform the user why the document could not be cleaned.

Compare

• Ability to name a default filename for Redlines and/or Use Doc ID/Doc Numbers from within the DMS– no more over long comparison filenames.
• Save/Email Redline as .doc/PDF, Edit in .doc, Send as .doc
