The devil is in the details
We want to make it easier for you to use Webforum every day. In this release we have included some minor improvements that you have asked for to make your use frictionless:
Share documents and group versions with document sets
Of course you want to put together a bunch of specific document versions and send them to a contractor or vendor and then keep working on the next version of the documents while maintaining a record of which version they got.

A while ago, we introduced project groups to facilitate setting up roles for permissions in the project. Last release, we made some[..]
Leverage best practice with templates
The right level of structure seems to be an evergreen topic in business management. Too little creates chaos and too much stifles creativity.

We now make it possible to add and delete document templates from the same place where you use[..]
