Thread Release Notes 4th July 2025

Matter Alerts 

Create alerts on a matter and choose to show the alert to all or only specific users. Alerts can show as a popup requiring users to close the popup before working on the matter, or as a notification in a side panel. There can be multiple alerts set on a matter, and you can set a specific date range for them to show, or simply leave them on until removed. Find out more on Matter Alerts.

All current documents set to 'Notify' users when they go to the matter will now show as Alerts instead, with the name of the document as alert text. The 'Notify me' option is no longer available on the document menu. Alerts can be manually created instead in the History/Alerts panel.

Matter Comments 

Add comments on a matter and tag your colleagues to notify them by email. You can also add comments on a document and view all previous document comments. Comments are visible to all users, and they can be edited or deleted at any time by the user who created them and the matter owner. Find out more on Matter Comments.

All existing document notes will now show as Comments. To add a comment on a document, click on 'View Notes' option on the single document menu.
