Improvements to email filing

We’ve improved how your emails are filed in iManage Work. From now on,

  • Emails can be filed, even if you moved them to a different location in your mailbox.
  • Emails that aren’t filed due to various errors are marked with an error status.

If you own the mailbox you are working on, then you can view all the emails that aren’t filed due to various errors by selecting the Show Filing Errors, available in iManage tab in Microsoft Outlook. All emails that didn’t get filed can be seen in the Email Filing Failures folder.

You can then use the Retry Filing option available in the right-click menu to retry to file these emails. The emails are reprocessed and then filed to the previously suggested location(s).

What’s new in iManage Drive

Version: 10.9.0 (May 2023)

Sync and open content directly from iManage Work to iManage Drive

You can now sync and open content you have saved in iManage Work directly to iManage Drive. You can:

  • select the workspace, folder, document, or email you want to sync, and then select Sync & Open in File Explorer in the kebab menu.

  • select multiple workspaces and then select  (Sync & Open in File Explorer).

If iManage Drive detects that the selected item hasn’t been synced, then the iManage Drive panel opens and prompts you to confirm the syncing of the selected items. Once the items are synced, Windows Explorer opens and you can view the synced items with them highlighted. For more information, refer to Syncing from iManage Work using web extensions section in iManage Drive Help.

NOTE: Your administrator must enable the iManage Drive Web Extensions in iManage Control Center for you to use this feature. Contact your administrator for more information.

Improvements when syncing and unsyncing matters from iManage Drive panel

When you select new matters to sync in the Select Matter to sync dialog box, they’re listed at the top of the Selected list with the New label. If you choose to unsync a matter, the To unsync label is displayed as shown in the below figure.

Additionally, we have changed the workspace menu option from Unlink to Unsync. Hence, from now, when you unsync matters from iManage Drive panel from Synced Matters, My Matters, or Recent Matters, you have to select Unsync instead of Unlink as shown in the following figure.

Improved UI when viewing sync issues

We’ve enhanced our Show sync issues dialog box in iManage Drive 10.9.0. Any items detected as having a sync conflict are now pre-selected in the sync dialog box. Also, the available options to resolve the sync issues are now prominently displayed at the bottom of the dialog box.

Additional wording has also been added to help you to take the most appropriate action. For more information about managing sync issues, refer to the Managing file sync issues section in iManage Drive Help.
