New Client Desktop Frustrations

Hi Deon, thank you for your feedback.

The new M-Files Desktop is under continuous development, and we are introducing performance improvements in Q1. Keyboard shortcuts are also on our backlog. About relationships - I hope you have had the chance to check out Workspaces, a new context-first user experience. You can learn more in our Community post M-Files Workspaces: All work available in the right business context, automatically - December 2025.

Hi Ella,

I have a similar question: in our system, we create "Transmittal" objects that we use to tie together a transmittal email and the specific document version that was sent or received. This ensures we understand exactly which version was sent or received and when. In the old client, we could create the transmittal object then drag and drop the applicable document onto the object to create a relationship and select "Specific Version". That option doesn't appear to exist anymore, and Workspaces don't solve the problem either.
