Details

Outline of specification change

Merged "Member" and "Guest" into "General user".

In the past, the number of "Member" and "Guest" users that could be registered was limited by the contract.

From July 1, 2023, to allow more people to participate in manual creation, this was merged into "General user" and you were able to choose whether to participate as "Viewer" or "Editor" for each folder.

The availability of manual creation and editing changes as determined by " how you join the folder".

In the past, "Member" could create new manuals in a folder they had joined, but they had to become "co-editor" in order to edit existing manuals.

From July 1, 2023, to make it easier for more people to get involved in updating manuals, you were able to edit all the manuals in a folder you had joined if you had joined the folder as an "Editor".

Automatic setting migration

Settings were automatically migrated to prevent users from being unable to view or edit manuals due to specification changes.

Also, if there was a "Team" that was a mixture of "Member" and "Guest", the existing "Team" was left as it was and a new "Team" was created that contained only the old "Member".

  Existing team: Joined the folder as a "Viewer".
  Automatically created "Team": From the existing "Team", only the former "Member" was included, and they joined the folder as "Editor".

*The name of the automatically created "Team" is "existing team name" + "_Editor".
