Document Manager modern interface (2019)

Attention

This module is part of Tuleap Enterprise. It might not be available on your installation of Tuleap.

The new interface of document manager provides a modern way to interact with document manager. This new interface has been designed for most common actions.

Drag and drop and multi upload

The major difference between both user interfaces, is that the new document manager now supports the drag and drop and multi upload.

Attention

Drag and drop is not supported for IE11. Please use Edge, Firefox or Chrome instead.

View the approval status

The new interface displays the approval table badge next to the document. You don’t have to get to the approval table anymore to have that information. In the tree view, a small coloured badge, depending on the status review, is displayed on documents having an approval table.

Here are the administration actions still handled by the old interface:
  • Advanced and simple search

  • Notifications
