Thread Release Notes 16th May 2025
Matters' Default Start tab
Choose a default tab where you would like all matters to open. Default tab setting will remain until changed and applies per user only.
To set a default tab, open any matter and right-click on the tab you wish to set as default, and choose Set as Default tab. All matters will now open on that tab going forward.
When you want to change the matters' default tab after some time, simply repeat the same step above for the desired tab.
Search within folders
When in Folders view of a matter documents tab, use the search bar to find any document or folder within the current folder.
Search results will show all folders and documents with the searched keyword in the name. Each result will also show the item location within folders.
When you are currently within a specific folder/subfolder, search results will only show results within that folder/subfolder.
