Oracle has automatically switched every Aconex user to the new enhanced upload. This happened without user action — you did not choose this, it was applied to your account.

• The new upload provides a modern, intuitive flow with flexible templates
• The old classic upload is still available for a limited time — it will be retired in the coming months
• It lays the groundwork for future improvements, including registering multiple file types under a single document

You no longer need to maintain separate Excel templates for each upload flow. One template now works across all of them:

• Add or Update Documents
• Add or Update Placeholders
• Bulk Processing
• Update Metadata Only

Download the template once from any flow — use it in all of them. The rules for each flow still apply (e.g. the file column is ignored when creating placeholders).

Project Admins can now decide which upload template format is used on their project — multi-sheet (one tab per document type) or single-sheet (all fields in one sheet).

Previously this was determined automatically by whether the project used project fields on document types. Now you choose.

The Transmittal History reports have been updated with version tracking:

• Transmittal History by Organization — now includes Current Version and Sent Version columns
• Transmittal History by Document — now includes Version Sent column

Document Processes now supports review of Microsoft Office files — Word (.docx) and Excel (.xlsx). Previously only PDF and CAD files could be reviewed inside the module.

• Start a Document Process review for Word specifications and Excel data sheets
• Pinning issues directly to the document is not yet supported for Office files — but general issues can be added to the issues list
• Available on MEA and KSA1 instances

You can now configure what happens when a review step receives a negative outcome. When setting up each step in the Review Matrix, a new option allows you to complete (terminate) the review on rejection.

• Available for both sequential and parallel review steps
• Example: terminate the entire review the moment HSE rejects — no further reviewers waste time on a document with fundamental safety issues
• Documents return to the originator with all pinned issues for revision

When exporting object properties from Models to CSV, you can now select your preferred unit system — Metric or US Customary. The system exports all linear, area, and volume values in your chosen units.

• Column headers in the CSV clearly show the unit abbreviation (e.g. m², ft²)
• Your browser remembers your preference unless you clear the cache
• Eliminates manual unit conversion after export — reducing errors in downstream analysis

A new report is available for Org Admins and Project Admins to manage project participants and identify active users. Requires the Download Project Participant Report permission.

The report shows:

• All projects owned by your organization
• All organizations participating on your projects — helps identify organizations to archive
• All users participating on each project — helps identify hidden users in the directory
• Users who have accessed Aconex in the last 60 days — identifies active vs dormant accounts

• Custom date range filter — now available directly in the report editor and schedule editor (previously only when running the report)
• Inspection assignees — new Assigned Organization and Assigned User columns added to the standard Field Inspection report

• Associates can now select any configured organization (not only the project-owning org) to approve their test plan template — if no Administrators exist in their organization
• Test Plan Administrators can configure the list of available approvers in project settings
• New: if a PDF form has duplicate field names when uploading, the system now automatically corrects them rather than failing the upload
• New: event log now available for safety observations — shows who did what and when for legal compliance

• Export your test plans list to Excel directly from your mobile device — aligns with the web app functionality
• Share a filtered view of test plans with stakeholders from your phone
• New: view a photo's GPS location directly in the mobile app
