Our biggest release this year is about how documents move: from writing, through approval, to the people who need to read them. Approvals are clearer to follow, folders and documents are easier to work with, and a long list of fixes makes everyday use steadier.
The editor now always opens the most recent saved content, so nobody ends up editing on top of an older copy of a policy.
See versions and reviewsThe approval process now checks more carefully who can approve and what they are allowed to do, and it shows more clearly where each approval stands.
See approval workflowsMoving between folders and documents is simpler, and each document shows more about itself and where it is in its life, from draft to review.
When you send a document out, it is easier to follow who it went to and where things stand.
See distributionShort interactive walkthroughs now sit inside AllyMatter, so anyone new can see how a feature works without leaving the page they are on.
Who can see and do what is now handled more consistently across documents, folders and settings, along with a set of smaller fixes that make the whole app more reliable.
Send an approved document to the people who need to sign it, inside or outside your company. Signers add a signature, initials, a date or text, and the signed copy comes with a completion certificate. e-sign is an add-on on the Scale plan.
See e-signA signer can decline and give a reason, and the reason is recorded in the audit log. When a request is no longer needed, the sender cancels it.
See e-signSet a signing deadline and a reminder cadence when you send a document, so slow signers are nudged without you chasing them.
See e-signEveryone you ask to sign gets an email, the document shows that signing is under way, and the document's Editor is notified as soon as everyone has signed. The audit log records who was asked and each step.
See the audit trailEach acknowledgment keeps the statement the person confirmed, tied to the document version, with a note if the wording has changed since.
See policy acknowledgmentSign in to AllyMatter with your Microsoft work account, alongside Google and email and password, on both plans.
Invite someone to open a single document with a one-time code, or give a consultant or contractor an account that works like a staff member's, with tags. Both can read, acknowledge and sign, and viewing is free.
See external viewersEach audit entry and acknowledgment record now shows the IP address next to the name, date and time.
See the audit trailThe audit log now records how many people gained or lost access when a document's tags change, each automatic reminder and review request, and the cancellation of pending acknowledgment requests, with the reason given.
See the audit trailComparing two versions now opens with how many sections changed and how many words were added and removed, alongside the marked-up additions and deletions.
See versions and reviewsIf an approver loses a tag the document carries while an approval is running, the approval is canceled and the document goes back to Draft, so the Editor can fix the flow and send it again.
See approval workflowsEach approval workflow can remind the approver on the current step every few days until they act, then do the same for the next step's approver.
See approval workflowsIf you have not been given access to any documents yet, you now see a clear empty state instead of a blank page.
Consultants and anyone who works with several companies can move between all of their workspaces with one login, while each company keeps owning and paying for its own.
When a document reaches its expiry date, the audit log records it, so the history shows exactly when a policy stopped being shown to its audience.
See the audit trailFull names are no longer clipped, tags save before a workflow is added, the distribute option appears once, resolving comments is tidier and the documents page is easier to read.
