Transparency in sync statuses of services

Skip having to check the sync status manually. A new column in the Settings->Services section now displays the sync status of your services. Reminder, here is how to utilize ‘Services’. 

This UX improvement allows you to easily determine which services have been successfully synced and which may require your attention.

Moreover, the status tooltip provides additional details for each status and suggests the appropriate next steps to take. This feature keeps you informed of sync issues and assists you in resolving them efficiently.

📚 Document management

Drag and drop documents and folders anywhere on the upload screen

We have introduced a drag-and-drop uploading feature that can be accessed from anywhere on the screen for both firm staff and your clients. You can drag a single document or multiple files, including folders, to our platform from your desktop.This feature is available within the Documents section, under both the Recent and Docs subtabs, as well as within each individual client account under the Docs tab.

Note: We have received feedback that although this feature has been very helpful, the ability to drag directly to a specific folder is needed. We are in the process of adding that functionality back in.
