Breaking Changes


  • We have decommissioned the existing price finder plugin. After the upgrade, there will be extra price records added in cases where a product has been added to a campaign multiple times. This will keep a 1:1 relationship between products on briefing and prices. To make sure the upgrade task will run smoothly, it is recommended to clean up old briefings before the upgrade. To initiate the cleanup of old campaigns please follow the procedures described here. The cleanup script has been verified for version 10.2 only but is also fully functional in some previous versions. To keep the retail system clean in the future, it is recommended to set up automatic inactivation/deletion of campaigns. After upgrading, the pre-filling of fields done by the custom price finder plugin can be achieved by normal pre-filling within field definitions. 

  • “Batch Operation Id” mapping has been removed from the "Creative Automation Studio (StoryTeq)" app configuration. It is recommended to remove a mapped field definition from the systems, which already have it set up.

  • Improvements to Kanban Views - To improve the visual appearance of Kanban views displayed by user we have now added support to display an uploaded profile picture within each column as an alternative to an icon.

  • Support for more file formats - We have extended our list of supported file types to now include HEIC and HEIF. Browsers do not currently support preview of HEIC and HEIF formats natively so it is recommended to convert them to a supported preview output format. Read more about this functionality in our guides

  • Improvements to line thickness - Following customer feedback we have reviewed and refined the line thickness applied to annotations to ensure they do not appear over-sized when drawing on proofing canvas

  • Remember note formatting preferences -  To improve usability within Encode Proofing we will now automatically remember your selection preference for note access right colour, shape colour, opacity and line thickness.

  • Default zoom level - When the document zoom level is larger than 100% then we will now automatically default the zoom level to 'Fit to Page' to provide the most optimal experience for easily viewing the preview.

  • Extend Automation Rules Search - We have extended the ability to be able to search by Rule Name and Status (Active/Inactive/Both) within Automation Rules to reduce the time taken for citizen developers to locate and amend rules.

  • Respect formatting rules in proofing insights - We have extended support to ensure that any formatting rules applied to reviewer status will now be respected within the Insights panel in Encode Proofing

  • Export module search results - To reduce the time required to export data we will now automatically pre-select all fields contained within module search results as values to be exported.
