New features

Concept change: “Assign as production version” becomes “Publish”

From now on, to make a process available to users, you must “Publish” it, replacing the concept of “Assign as production version”. Similarly, if you want the process to no longer be available, you must “Unpublish” it, instead of setting “Unassign as production version”.

This terminology change aims to simplify and clarify the process for users.

Publish button in process design view

A button has been added to the top right of the process design screen, enabling you to publish the process directly from there. This addition streamlines the process, making it more straightforward and efficient.

Quick access to start process upon publishing

When a process is published for the first time, a popup window appears with direct access to its start form, allowing you to execute the process immediately.
