Users can now manage folder-level permissions in the mobile app. Users can change, view or revoke permissions.

December 13, 2022    VDRPro
The following changes were made:

  • A new option was added for ordering archives. Exchange managers can now request that a ZIP file be burned directly to USB when they place their archive order in the application. Previously, users had to contact Intralinks support to order this option. This change will make it easier for Macintosh users to order archives that they can easily open without installing special applications to do so.
  • When users download large numbers of files, new messages are displayed indicating that the download request is being processed and when the download begins. Previously, there was no message indicating that the request was being processed. In addition, if a user tries to download more than the maximum allowed 50,000 files, a message is displayed requesting the user to select fewer files.
  • For exchanges hosted in the US, UK and Japan, the Secure Viewer used to display IRM-protected documents in the browser has been updated. The new version functions in exactly the same way as the previous version, but the speed with which documents are displayed and the number of documents that can be processed at one time have been improved. These changes will result in a more stable and faster experience for users.

December 9, 2022    VDRPro
Two new optional fields were added to all Q&A reports: Delegated to Group and Delegated To Individual. These fields make it easier for clients to see who questions were delegated to. Previously, clients had to view each question’s details inside the question list to see this information.

December 9, 2022    Intralinks Integration Adapter (ILIA)
The following enhancements were made:

  • Input XML files can now be processed concurrently, increasing processing efficiency. A new option has been added to the Configuration Manager to configure the maximum concurrent processes.

  • References to IL5 and functionality related to it have been removed, and IL5 is no longer supported.
  • The permissions API now supports fetching up to 200k explicit permissions, improving performance.
  • Users can now enable/disable automatic document alerts when they create a new exchange. The new exchange setting ENABLE_AUTO_ALERTS_FOR_UPLOADS can be used to determine whether document alerts are automatically sent when documents are uploaded.
  • Users can now download, save and print protected documents.
  • The user guide has been updated to include all supported document filters.

A tab has been added to allow users to track their pending tasks, and additional enhancements have been made to the dashboard that appears on login.

November 24, 2022    VIA Pro Desktop Client for Windows
On Demand Sync has been removed from the VIA Pro Desktop Client. With On Demand Sync, document placeholders appeared on users’ desktops instead of the actual files; if a user clicked on a placeholder, the document associated with it was downloaded and opened. With this release the placeholders will be replaced with the actual documents they represent. When syncing occurs, documents will be copied to the users’ desktops. For existing exchanges, if placeholders are missing on the desktop, the corresponding documents will be downloaded from the exchange on the web; the documents on the web will not be deleted. This change was made to ensure the reliability of syncing between the web and the desktop. 

November 22, 2022    VIA Pro
The Secure Viewer used to display IRM-protected documents in the browser has been updated. The new version functions in exactly the same way as the previous version, but the speed with which documents are displayed is seven times faster, and the new viewer can handle 10 times the traffic that the previous version could. These changes will result in a more stable and faster experience for users.

November 17, 2022    VDRPro
The following changes were made to VDRPro:

Usability enhancements

  • Documents tab – The buttons for adding documents, creating folders, and performing more actions have been moved to the right. The search and filter options have been moved to the left.

Users can now choose which columns to display in the grid, reorder columns, and pin columns. Users can save their changes for future sessions.

The time frame can be daily, weekly, or monthly, and can be set for individual buyer groups or for all buyer groups. This eliminates the need for Q&A coordinators to manually reset limits every day, week or month to manage the flow of questions to Q&A experts, ensuring that the experts can handle the volume of incoming questions.

October 27, 2022    VDRPro
Enhancements were made to AI Redaction, Q&A setup, and authentication services.

Ability to exclude terms from AI redaction

August 12, 2022    VDRPro/Usage Dashboard
Users who are billed according to the amount of data uploaded to their exchanges now can view more accurate, complete information about the total upload volume on the Usage Dashboard on the Insights tab.

Previously, this information was not clearly and accurately displayed.

August 2, 2022    VDRPro/Documents
A new All Documents option was added to the panel on the left side of the Documents tab, making it easy for users to quickly redisplay all the documents available to them after they have performed a search or filtering the documents.

July 27, 2022    VDRPro
A new template has been introduced for Banking & Securities customers that enables generic, non-M&A-specific, language by default. The term “buyer” is replaced with the term “participant” throughout the VDR. In addition to the new template, an exchange setting was added to enable these language changes.

June 24, 2022    VDRPro/AI Redaction
Bulk redaction, clients' most requested AI redaction feature, now is available in new and existing exchanges hosted in Germany and Australia. Users of these exchanges can now redact multiple documents at the same time, making the redaction process faster and easier; previously, they were required to redact documents one at a time. Bulk redaction moves the redaction process from user's computers to Intralinks servers, making redaction faster and easier for users. 

Users also can filter documents in the redaction area by their markup status. These filters allow users to easily identify files in a particular status such as scanning, ready for review, redacting, and so on.

June 18, 2022    InvestorVision
The OKTA service is now used to authenticate InvestorVision users when they log into the application. This new authentication and identity experience requires uses to set up at least one multiple factor authentication (MFA) option. In addition, updates have been made to the login process; password reset; and the management of profile, credentials, and factors. These changes are designed to improve the user experience, and they provide additional security and improve self-service capabilities.

​​​​​​​June 9, 2022    Intralinks Mobile Authenticator support
Support for the Intralinks Mobile Authenticator was added to VDRPro, Deal Manager, DealVision, VIA Pro, Intralinks Designer, and the Intralinks mobile apps. The authenticator can be used for multi-factor authentication (MFA). Intralinks Mobile Authenticator is the recommended option for all customers to use to verify their identity. It is especially useful for those customers with policies that only allow the use of authenticators from approved vendors. The authenticator is available in Intralinks' iOS and Android mobile apps.

June 9, 2022    VDRPro
The following enhancements were made:

  • Improvements were made to the bulk download process on Windows. In Windows, the maximum length for a file path name is 256 characters. When a Windows user performs a bulk document download, VDRPro now checks to see whether any file paths exceed the Windows limit. If they do, the user has the option to shorten the file and folder names or download all of the files to a single folder. Previously, a message was displayed to all users, regardless of whether the file path limit was exceeded, saying that folders may be removed. This enhancement ensures that only users who have file paths that exceed the Windows limit see a message. It also gives users more flexibility in managing downloads that exceed the Windows character limit. 
  • In the file upload process, VDRPro now checks to see whether the Windows character limit is exceeded; if it is, users can either cancel the upload or skip the files that can't be uploaded. Users also can export a list of files that exceed the Windows limit.
  • Exchange members with a manager-level role can now view the location where their data is stored and processed. This information is available on the Exchange Details screen when you select Exchange Settings from the Profile menu.
  • Users can now resize the documents tab panel, allowing them to view more information without scrolling.
  • The Live Chat button has been moved to the footer.

In addition, support for the Intralinks Mobile Authenticator was added. ​​​​​

In addition, support for the Intralinks Mobile Authenticator was added. 

June 9, 2022    DealVision
Buyers can now access the seller’s FAQ inside of Q&A directly from DealVision. Previously, they had to log in to the seller’s VDR to see the FAQ. The question and answer are shown on the same page. Buyers can also access all of the files associated with each question. Project administrators are now notified when a new user is added to the project. Assignment notifications are no longer sent when the user assigning a checklist item is the same as the user assigned to the checklist item. Assignment notifications are no longer sent when a checklist category default assignee creates new checklist item inside his/her category. In addition, support for the Intralinks Mobile Authenticator was added.

When dragging and dropping folders and documents to an exchange ILD, the

Users no longer have to use the Download Wizard for these tasks. In addition, support for the Intralinks Mobile Authenticator was added. 

June 2, 2022    VDRPro mobile apps
A new identity authenticator, the Intralinks Mobile Authenticator, was added to the iOS and Android apps. This feature is in support of an upcoming VDRPro release.

It is especially useful for those customers whose corporate policies require them to use authentication software from an approved vendor.

May 31, 2022    VDRPro/Live Chat
A number of changes were made to Live Chat. Users now select a broad category describing the problem they want to solve and are routed to a queue monitored by specialists trained to answer that category of questions. If the user consents, browser and system information is passed to the support specialist, giving the specialist more insight into the user's situation and reducing the number of questions the specialist has to ask the user. Additional accessibility and design changes were made to align the appearance of the chat function with the rest of the VDRPro application.

May 24, 2022    Intralinks Designer
Users now can choose to either keep or remove index numbers when dragging folders and documents to an exchange in ILD; this is expected to make rehydration of archived exchanges easier.
