\"What's<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

I’m not a big fan of doing a post for each new release, but I think the last one is a big step towards what M-Files will tend to be in the coming months.
M-Files 25.3<\/a>, was released to the cloud on March 30th, and is available for download and auto-update since April 2nd. It brings a suite of powerful updates designed to improve document management efficiency and user experience.
Here\u2019s a breakdown of the most notable features, improvements, and fixes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

System administrators can now override any workflow state directly from the context menu in M-Files Web using the new “Change state (Admin)” option. This allows for greater control and quicker resolution of workflow issues.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
