What’s new, month after month

Record a bond redemption as its own movement

On the drafting side, you can create a derived snippet from a template editor without losing your unsaved changes. The movement form also shows the selected account's balance before you save.

• A derived snippet from your templateFrom the editor of a custom template, you create a derived snippet when no copy exists yet, and its editor opens in a new tab. If a copy already exists, that one opens, without creating another. Your original template stays open with your unsaved changes, so there is nothing to redo when you come back. It all happens in Templates and drafting, from the template editor.

Alex Legal in Claude, ChatGPT and Grok

Connect your AI assistant to Alex and ask about your companies in a conversation. Your organisation's Billing page also puts what matters on a single screen.

The per-company view sums up subscribed companies and payments to handle.

An operation to get your files signed

Start an operation from plain files to get them signed. Your actions in Documents can also be undone and redone.

• Undo and redo in DocumentsTake back a mistake in Documents. A rename, a move, an upload, a deletion or a pin can be undone and redone. Progress shows while it runs.
• An Equity badgeSpot a company whose equity has fallen below half its capital. An Equity badge appears on the company page when the latest INPI filing decides to continue trading with equity below half the share capital. It gives the details, the source and a link to the deed.

• Your members go through your identity providerYour members sign in with your organisation's account. On the sign-in page, an email address on a verified domain is offered to continue with your organisation straight away. You can also require SSO: password, Google or Microsoft sign-ins are then refused for those domains, and existing accounts simply carry on with SSO.

A new explorer for your documents

The capital breakdown reads better, with small stakes grouped and former shareholders hidden. Your groups can also manage their own companies.

• Your groups manage their companiesLet your groups add their own companies. An organisation setting lets a group's admins and editors add or register companies in their group. Without it, adding a company takes editor access to the organisation. Read the workspace management guide

Read the general meetings guide
