External Release Notes: Web UI (October 14, 2026)
New Features and Enhancements
Email Capture
Users can now save Outlook emails and attachments as .eml files into Egnyte project folders, either manually with the Egnyte Outlook Add-in (including thread filing) or automatically through folder syncs.
Admins can configure automated syncs for shared mailboxes, and end users can sync their personal mailboxes.
Filed emails are searchable and able to be previewed alongside project documents, and they automatically inherit a dedicated metadata set.
- Email Capture requires Egnyte for M365 in Outlook, Microsoft Exchange/365, and is available in all Next Gen Plans (Essentials, Elite & Ultimate) with Egnyte Secure & Govern. Contact the Egnyte account manager or Egnyte Sales team for more information.
- For complete list of prerequisites and configuration steps refer to this article.
Signer Groups and CC Groups in Egnyte Sign
Egnyte now provides the capability to add groups as signers and CC recipients in Egnyte Sign. A Signer Group allows any one member of the group to fulfill the signing requirement, while a CC Group automatically receives the final signed document once all signing is complete. Groups are defined at the Egnyte domain level and can be selected when preparing signature requests or creating templates.
This simplifies team-based signing workflows by eliminating the need to identify individual signers or add each CC recipient separately.
Egnyte Sign is available as part of the PDF File Handler Add-On. Contact the Egnyte account manager or Egnyte Sales team for more information.
Recommendations on Egnyte
Egnyte now offers personalized, machine learning-powered feature recommendations based on users’ roles and usage patterns. Available directly within the Egnyte Web UI, Recommendations helps users discover relevant features they may not have explored yet, with options to learn more about a feature or dismiss suggestions they don't need. This makes it easier for users to discover capabilities that can improve how they work in Egnyte.
- Recommendations will be available to the domains on the Ultimate plan and the roll out will be completed by the end of October, 2026.
- Suggestions are tailored to each user based on their usage patterns and role.
- Admins and Power Users may receive different recommendations, based on their access to features in the platform. Standard Users do not see Recommendations.
- Suggestions are shown only for features that are available on a Power User’s current plan.
- Admins may receive suggestions to enable Integrations or plan upgrades that could offer further value to their users.
Issues Addressed
Public API to Add Users as Group Owners
There was an issue with the Public API that prevented users without group management privileges from being added as group owners. However, the same operation was functional through WebUI.
Error in Syncing New Users Through AD Kit
Newly created users were not syncing to Egnyte through AD Kit. The new user creation failed with an error message whereas updates to existing users and group synchronization were working as expected.
Grainy Logo on Upload Link Page
The customer's custom logo appeared grainy and blurry on the Upload Link page, while displaying clearly on the login page.
