2026.5 Release Notes

New

Export

Added a new “OCR/Loaded Source” field in Processing to identify whether text promoted to Review originated from OCR or extracted native text. The field is automatically populated with either “OCR” or “Extracted Text” based on the actual text version exported.

Update

Environment

Improved the performance of “Validate Natives” through internal logic optimizations, making it significantly faster and improving overall system responsiveness. Lists were replaced with thread-safe collections to support safe parallel processing, and database updates were optimized by batching data in groups of 500 to reduce database calls. Also, task execution is now better controlled to prevent system overload and improve stability, and a new helper method was introduced to efficiently split large datasets for faster processing.

Fix

Export

Resolved an issue where Discovery Manager would become stuck on the “Generating Export Summary” screen, which prevented users from completing exports successfully.

Fix

Export

Fixed an issue where Review Append exports with a defined numbering prefix incorrectly started at the next available number from other exports using a different prefix.

Fix

Export

Fixed an issue where DAT exports would fail with a System Out Of Memory Exception, preventing the .DAT file from being generated successfully.

Fix

Export

Addressed an issue where TO and FROM email fields were duplicated during export, particularly when exporting documents with overlays.

Fix

Import

Fixed a bug where import jobs would immediately fail with the error “There is already an object named ‘Import1’ in the database.” Import jobs are now processed normally without triggering this error.

Fix

Export

Corrected an issue where Australian numbering did not follow a sequential order based on the selected prefix.

Fix

Export

An issue where export-level Validate Natives incorrectly reported missing native files for duplicate records across datasets, even though project-level Validate Natives completed successfully and showed all natives as present was fixed.

Fix

Export

Resolved an issue in Australian Review Overlay exports where the Export Summary popup incorrectly displayed a cumulative document count, including documents from previous exports. The export itself and Export Explorer were showing the correct document count, but the summary was misleading. The Export Summary now accurately reflects only the documents included in the current export.

Fix

Export

Fixed a bug where the Document Level checkbox did not behave correctly when switching export types. When the export type is changed to Review Append, the Document Level checkbox is now automatically unchecked and becomes unavailable. When switching back to an export type that supports Document Level, normal behavior is restored, allowing the user to explicitly select or deselect the option.

Fix

Export

Addressed an issue in Aspose exports where Teams-related fields were not populating in Export Explorer for the Teams dataset during Parent-Child exports when the “Process Teams as Emails” option was disabled. Teams metadata is now correctly populated regardless of this setting.

Fix

Export

Corrected an issue where the Field Mapping Template dropdown in the Export creation screen displayed incorrect column header names.

Fix

Export

Fixed an issue where the “Exclude Previously Exported Documents from Selected Exports” option incorrectly excluded documents based on matching MD5 hash values. The logic now correctly excludes documents only when the same FileID has already been exported, even if MD5 hashes differ.

Fix

Import

Fixed an issue where import jobs would fail with a “Failed to create or update field mappings” error.

Fix

Import

Fixed a bug where large CSV imports in Discovery Manager would get stuck with no progress.

Fix

Import

Fixed attachment ingest failures caused by duplicate OriginalMD5s key conflicts and resolved related QC retry loop b ehavior.

Fix

Import

Fixed an issue where email addresses were missing in the OCR/LOADED text view for MSG files using the Aspose email engine.

Fix

Import

Improved RSMF processing performance and throughput, making processing faster, more efficient, and better able to scale as project sizes grow.

Fix

Import

Fixed an issue where import jobs would fail for large datasets due to a SQL truncation error stating: “String or binary data would be truncated.”

Fix

Project

Fixed an issue where loading a project failed to remediate modified Review Field Mappings in Discovery Manager, resulting in an “Error Loading Review Field Mapping.”

Fix

Reporting

A bug where the ESI report did not apply the “Promote to Review” scope, resulting in reports that did not account for duplicate files was resolved.

Fix

Reporting

Fixed a bug where fields in the Billing report UI were not visible unless the browser was zoomed out.

Fix

Upgrade

Corrected an issue where database upgrades would fail in older projects due to conflicts between old DatTables and newer DatTable views. The upgrade process now automatically cleans up the old DatTables, so database upgrades complete successfully without errors.
