Desktop App Core for Mac v 1.18.1 - Miscellaneous Improvements

External Release Notes: Desktop App Core for Mac 1.18.1 (June 11, 2026)

Issues Addressed

Automatic File Locking Issue

In some cases, files created or accessed through the Desktop App were automatically locked, resulting in padlock icons being displayed in Finder. Attempting to change the permissions triggered an administrator credential prompt that regular users could not complete. 

Delayed Opening of Office Files

Opening certain Microsoft Office file types (.xls, .xlsx, .docx) through the Desktop App could take 30 to 45 seconds before the file became available, while other file types such as .csv opened immediately. 

Known Issues and Limitations

No new limitations have been discovered.

Please refer to this article for the list of known limitations.

How to Upgrade

Visit the Desktop App installers article to download and install the latest version of the Desktop App or update the existing app to the newest version on all the devices. It may take a few days for the latest version to propagate to all user devices. However, users can manually upgrade their app immediately after the release.
