Current Release Notes - October 15, 2025
PREFLIGHT REPORTS - Fixed several scenarios where a preflight report on larger files could not be generated and subsequently downloaded. Previously larger page counts (exceeding 800 pages) with thousands of preflight issues could have issues finalizing preflight. More memory and scratch disks have been allocated to this function to improve the success rate.
SCALE/CROP - Fixed erroneous trim size mismatch issues when scaling pages then applying to all pages. Specifically a a user would scale a single page to a new size, then scale all pages to that same size. This would result in a trim mismatch message which stated the trim size didn't match even though it was a match. This has been resolved.
PROCESSING - Fixed a spinning thumbnail issue in a very specific use case where a user would move a page from unassigned corrections to the component
Blanks can be freely moved from text to part to shelf or any combination, without ending up stuck in a processing state.
An "undoscale" (Reset Trim) followed up quickly by a "shift" will no longer cause the page to occasionally get stuck processing.
All page statuses are checked more stringently overall at the completion of a given workflow, and statuses updated if needed.
