DocuWare continues to evolve, and with the release of Version 7.14, the focus is clear: making workflows more powerful, improving security, and simplifying system management.
This latest update introduces a range of enhancements designed to help organisations work more efficiently while maintaining complete control over their document management environment.
One of the standout additions in DocuWare 7.14 is the ability to send annotated documents directly to web services as part of an automated workflow.
Previously, organisations could only transfer original documents or PDFs without annotations. Now, comments, stamps, approvals and other annotations can travel with the document—ensuring critical context is retained throughout business processes and integrations.
This enhancement is particularly valuable for approval-driven workflows and businesses integrating DocuWare with third-party systems via APIs.
Additional workflow improvements include:
Stronger Security with Mandatory Two-Factor Authentication:
Building on the two-factor authentication functionality introduced previously, administrators can now enforce two-step verification for all users across the organisation.
This provides an additional layer of protection for sensitive business information and helps organisations strengthen compliance and cybersecurity policies.
For businesses not connected to an external directory service, this enhancement delivers a straightforward way to significantly improve login security.
Managing documents across multiple systems is now easier than ever.
DocuWare 7.14 introduces Cloud-to-Cloud transfer functionality, enabling organisations to move or copy large volumes of documents between different DocuWare Cloud environments.
This is particularly useful for:
The result is a more efficient and less disruptive way to manage large-scale document transfers.
A major usability improvement in this release is the move to completely browser-based administration.
All configuration elements are now centralised within the browser-based DocuWare Configuration interface, removing the need for the legacy desktop-based DocuWare Administration application.
Benefits include:
For IT teams and administrators, this represents a significant simplification in day-to-day system management.
Alongside Version 7.14, the updated Outlook Add-in introduces several improvements designed to make email management faster and more automated.
Key enhancements include:
These updates help organisations capture important email communications more consistently while reducing manual processes for users.
For on-premises customers, DocuWare 7.14 also introduces the new web-based Workflow Designer and the new DocuWare Server Manager.
The Server Manager provides a modernised approach to system administration, including:
The updated Outlook Add-in is available to DocuWare Cloud customers from April 2026.
The full DocuWare 7.14 release, including these enhancements, is expected to be available for on-premises customers running versions 7.13 and 7.14 from June 2026.
DocuWare 7.14 reinforces the platform’s commitment to helping organisations streamline processes, improve security, and simplify administration.
