July 2022
- UI
update for Open, Check Out, Free
- Document open, check out, check in and free commands have been moved to the top of menus and the toolbar.
- Open in desktop app does not perform a permanent check out and allows ProjectWise Drive to make automatic check out, if needed.
- Open read-only in desktop app option was merged into Open in desktop app option, and will ask for read-only option when it is possible.
-
Confirmations when freeing documents and
ending co-authoring
Ending an Office 365 co-authoring session now lists the users who participated in the session and asks for confirmation before proceeding, to avoid accidental data loss if the session was closed prematurely.
- New
Versions for documents marked as Final
You can now create a new version of a document that is marked as Final.
- Issues Fixed
June 2022
- Auto user sync
(requires ProjectWise Plug-in for WSG CONNECT Edition Update 3.4 R4 (10.00.03.462) or later)
When auto user sync is enabled in the primary work area connection, the current participants of the work area are automatically added to the team members list of the ProjectWise project. ProjectWise Web will then synchronize the project with the work area participants list every 24 hours to make sure the team members list in the project is always up to date. In order to turn this setting on, the connection must be the primary connection.
April 2022
This release introduces the following enhancements for work area connection management:
- Primary connection
You can now designate one work area connection in each project as the primary connection. The primary connection establishes a one-to-one relationship between the project and work area and is used as the default connection by ProjectWise Web and other cloud services. Designating a connection as the primary connection also automatically enables the use of ProjectWise Drive in that connection.
-
New permissions to allow non-IMS admins to
manage project connections
An administrative team member who is not an admin in Bentley IMS can now add or manage work area connections as long as they have BOTH of these project permissions enabled:
- Connection health check
In the connections list, a warning or information icon will appear next to a connection that requires some kind of attention or additional configuration. For example, if the work area in the primary connection is not currently associated to the project, or if the version of the ProjectWise Plug-in for WSG needs to be updated.
January 2022
- Out
to me
(requires ProjectWise Plug-in for WSG CONNECT Edition Update 3.4 (10.00.03.460) or later
Out to me is a new folder at the top of the work area connection that lists all the documents that are currently checked out to you. This includes Office documents that are currently checked out for co-authoring (whether you started or joined the co-authoring session).
- Search enhancements
- Quick searches now
always and automatically perform
"all content" searches (just like the
"all content" quick search in

- document file name and extension
- document full text search
- environment attributes
- folder/work area name
- folder/work area description
- work area properties (custom work area attributes)
As part of this change, the quick search types (Quick Search and Full Text Search) have been removed from the search menu.
- Advance searches now let you search a specific folder in the work area (previously you could only search the entire work area)
