This release introduces a new way to control who can view issues, and adds the option to restrict issue visibility only to the author, the assignee, the members of a team involved and the notified users. To see how the confidentiality function has been modified into the restricted issue workflow, watch this video.

New feature

Platform	New feature
All	The Confidentiality field has been renamed Team involved and adding teams to this field no longer restrict the visibility of issues. The field can now be used to identify the team(s) involved in an issue, allowing you to assign teams to it (see Issue Attributes).

Improvements

Platform	Improvement
All	The visibility of issues can be restricted. Issue visibility can be set in creation, single edition, and multiple edition mode, both from the web platform and from the latest version of the add-ins (see Restricting Issue Visibility). It is important to download and install the latest version of our add-ins, otherwise you will not be able to restrict the visibility of issues.
Web application	In the Project Settings, project admins can now rename the Notify and Team involved attributes by selecting a new name from the list of predefined names (see Renaming Issue Attributes). Please note that the renaming of attributes will be reflected on all platforms, except in add-ins versions prior to v1.58.
Web application	To reduce the number of emails sent to users, the default notification settings in the My Profile page have been changed to Daily instead of Immediately for the following events: When an issue is updated, When I am added to or removed from an issue notification list, When an attachment is added to an issue, and When a comment is added to an issue.
Navisworks add-in	The Publish beta feature is available for all Navisworks versions from 2019 to 2021 and now each model is published independently so that if one model crashes all the others will be published (see Publish a Model to the Viewer from Navisworks – Private BETA (invite only).
