We are excited to introduce ClearContext Professional v7 and announce the availability of a beta test version for our Connect subscribers. Over the last month, we have posted previews of filing, QuickTasks and toolbar enhancements in v7, and we will now provide a more complete list of the changes and improvements in this new version:

- Improved searching for accented words in Project selection screen
- When creating new folders and there are multiple mail files, automatically use the mail file with best folder match instead of always using the default folder
AutoFile

Toolbar
- More extensive customization for displayed ClearContext buttons in the Home tab for Outlook 2010/2013
- Simpler and more organized format of buttons in ClearContext tab for Outlook 2010/2013

General

Deprecated Features

- Since AutoFile now has most of the capabilities of AutoAssign, AutoAssign is now hidden for those users that do not have active AutoAssign rules. We will continue to support the use of AutoAssign for those users who wish to use it.
- Windows XP and Outlook 2003 are no longer supported configurations
ClearContext Professional v7 Beta 1
A beta test version is now available to our Connect subscribers. Please be aware that as a beta version, there may be bugs and instability. Also, updated documentation is not yet available though the new changes should be fairly intuitive for experienced users of ClearContext.
To access the beta, one needs an active Connect subscription and an account on our online forums. With a matching email address on the forums and Connect account, the private Connect forums which contain the beta downloads and discussion will be available. If assistance is needed with this process, please contact us via support at clearcontext.com.
We thank you in advance for your participation and look forward to your feedback!
New Purchasers: As of September 1, 2014, all purchasers of new or upgrade v6 ClearContext licenses will receive a free upgrade to v7 once the new version is available.
