Upgrade Activity
Comala Document Approval 2 (planned release Q1 2023)will be data center only and will use a new, improved capability called Document Activity in place of the Page Activity.
Global administrators can undertake an upgrade check process using the Document Activity Upgrade screen options.
In the Document Activity Upgrade screen choose one or more spaces to run upgrade checks prior to an upgrade to Comala Document Approval 2 (Data Center Only).
This upgrade check identifies any errors in the existing data prior to the upgrade and provides an estimate of the time for the upgrade on a space-by-space basis.
