Release to Cloud 17th May 2026
Release for downloads & auto-updates 20th May 2026
Improvement: SAML authentication support removed ID: DXE-727
Description: Support for SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) authentication has been fully removed from M‑Files. SAML was deprecated in 2020 and is no longer available.
Improvement: Undo checkout from any client ID: CE-3393
Description: You can now undo the checkout of your own documents from any M-Files client, such as Web or Desktop, without switching back to the original client. A clear confirmation dialog appears if the checkout was made from a different client, helping prevent accidental data loss.
Improvement: View conflict resolution history in new clients ID: ADI-680
Description: Administrators can now view and manage the history of automatically resolved conflicts directly in the new M-Files clients. This makes it easier to review, restore, or manage conflict items, ensuring a smoother experience when handling replicated data.
Improvement: First synchronization status now visible ID: SELF-39
Description: After importing a new Active Directory user group, the Last Run and Status columns in M‑Files Admin now show the first synchronization result immediately. This helps administrators confirm right away that the import was successful.
Improvement: Removed outdated user group entries ID: SELF-36
Description: When a user group is deleted, related entries are now automatically removed from the system. This helps keep information up to date and prevents unnecessary records.
Improvement: Preview tab component update ID: CE-2643
Description: The Preview tab has been updated with a refreshed look and improved layout for better clarity. The updated component improves modularity and accessibility, providing a more consistent and user‑friendly preview experience.
Improvement: AI-generated metadata values now clearly marked ID: PA-495
Description: Values created by AI are now visually distinct on the metadata card for existing objects. Users can easily identify these values and view the reason behind them. Visual cues are removed if the value is changed by the user.
