- Right-click actions: The following enhancements have been added to the right-click actions:
- Folder actions: New Folder, Manage Security, and Edit.
- Download Primary File: Download content from the Windchill server, regardless of whether a version already exists in your local cache.
- Upload content with edit: When performing an Edit action on a document, updated content is uploaded from your local cache.
- Drag-and-drop Outlook attachments: You can now create a new Windchill document when you drag-and-drop an attachment from a Microsoft Outlook message to a Windchill folder.
- Drag-and-drop between folders: Additional drag-and-drop abilities allow users to copy and move documents between folders within Windchill.
