Feature Changes

This release contains the following feature changes which will be covered in more detail in sections below: 
1) Enhanced Communication Preferences.

Following feedback with the recent change to use the Google Editor instead of direct to PDF we have made the change to not automatically convert and open the Template with the editor. Templates from word files will now open directly in PDF. If you wish to edit the document with the Google Editor you can do so by right-clicking the document in reception or history and selecting Edit Document.

Note: Editing the document will convert the document into the Google format. This may cause some formatting differences.
