This release fixes a couple of checking bugs.
-
Replacements removed footnotes - Sidebar replacements would remove special elements from your content. These included things like footnotes, endnotes, and diagrams. We've added a new error to the Sidebar to make replacement behavior clearer.
-
Highlighting issues - Acrolinx couldn't highlight issues in text sections that also contained special elements like footnotes, endnotes, or diagrams. This made it difficult to apply suggestions to your content. We've fixed this. Acrolinx now highlights the content as expected.
We've updated our 3.1 release to better align with your needs and included some bug fixes.
-
Check documents without MIP label - In our 3.1 release, we released a feature that prevents checking documents if Microsoft Information Protection is set up. We've changed this implementation to better align with your needs. You'll be able to check even if there isn’t a MIP label set on the document.
Notice
Please consult our Acrolinx Support to configure checking a document without the MIP label.
-
PowerPoint with third-party diagrams - In some cases, when a PowerPoint Presentation had diagrams generated by a third-party solution, an Acrolinx check would lead to an error. We've fixed this.
-
Grayed out cards - When you selected an issue card for a paragraph the card grayed out and Acrolinx didn't highlight the issue correctly. This is fixed.
-
Paragraphs with footnotes or endnotes -Acrolinx can now highlight paragraphs with footnotes or endnotes. If there’s an issue and the suggestion would remove or change a foot- or endnote, you'll get a read-only card.
This release comes with a highly anticipated feature: detection of Microsoft Information Protection (MIP) sensitivity labels. We've also fixed a handful of bugs that affected the checking experience.
-
Support for MIP labels - If you protect your content with MIP sensitivity labels, we've got good news — Acrolinx now detects sensitivity labels in Microsoft 365 Office. This means you can exclude sensitive content from your Acrolinx checks.
Tip
To start using this feature, send a list of your organization's accepted sensitivity labels to Acrolinx Support.
-
Wrong word highlighted - Acrolinx would partially highlight a word or highlight the wrong word if the word appeared multiple times in your content. We’ve updated our lookup logic to make sure this doesn't happen anymore.
-
Wrong order of Sidebar cards - In some cases, the Sidebar cards were out of order and would jump to random places when clicked. This is fixed.
-
Check selection issue in PowerPoint - Check Selection wasn’t working in PowerPoint for Microsoft 365. We've fixed it.
-
Approved Messaging issues - Issues for the Approved Messaging goal in weren't working quite right. Highlighting was off and replacements weren't added correctly. Everything is now working as expected.
We’re excited to announce that the Acrolinx Sidebar is now available in M365 Outlook online!
-
Check with Acrolinx in Outlook - You can now use a lighter version of the Acrolinx Sidebar to check your emails with Acrolinx. We can't offer the full Sidebar because of limitations in the API. Learn more in What You Can Check.
