Workshare has launched a new version of its collaboration software for Microsoft Office  document review and comparison.

Version 7 provides automatic detection and comparison of changes when attachments are sent, modified and returned through email, alerting users directly in Outlook. By identifying changed documents and launching a comparison as modified documents arrive, Workshare Professional 7 improves efficiency, making document collaboration a more seamless process.

This feature simplifies the entire comparison process by dramatically reducing the number of mouse clicks a user must initiate to compare documents. Additionally, the new version includes a convenient Category View for document comparison.

Version 7 has a significant redesign to the metadata removal interface, which is now much faster to use and easier to understand, so users can more simply apply appropriate actions when emails are sent. Users can also now choose to process metadata removal with Workshare Protect Server instead of processing with the desktop client.

The latest release of Workshare Professional 7 also simplifies the installation process, speeding the deployment of the solution throughout the enterprise. IT managers will find a more efficient configuration manager and much easier parameters management so users can be up and running on the software with minimum hassle.
