Collaborator Release Notifications

Welcome to Collaborator v9.3.0!

 Collaborator 9.3 is the latest release from SmartBear Software’s peer review team.  This new version is introducing several great capabilities including:

Numbered Pushpins

One of the challenges of document reviews is clearly indicating what comment is associated to a specific pushpin on a document.  With Collaborator 9.3 we’ve introduced numbered pushpins.  Each conversation now includes a specific page number and pushpin number to assist in easily finding the pushpin that is related to the conversation in question.

Review Details PDF

The Review Details report can now be saved as a pdf file from the CLI.  This is extremely helpful for customers that want a report of every review that has been completed.  Many customers like to store this report on shared drive for reference.  Now, that process can be automated via a script and Collaborator’s cmd line client.

Archive to Zip

Many regulated industries are required to retain data for long periods of time.  Because of this, we’ve added an Archive to Zip feature which allows a review and all of its contents, including the Review Detail report, to be archived to zip file that can be stored in an approved repository location for future reference.

In addition to data retention, this feature can also be used during audits.  If an internal or external audit is occurring, the review can be archived to a zip.  This saves the team time since they will not need to gather all of the information together.  They can simply click the ‘Save to Zip’ button and email the auditor the required data.

GitHub Name Mapping

Building upon the GitHub integration released in Collaborator 9.2, we have added automatic user name mapping.  If a user name in GitHub is the same as a user name in Collaborator, an automatic mapping occurs.  If they don’t match up, the name mapping can occur manually under the individual users’ settings.
