Draftable Legal Group Policy Changelog

This document provides a detailed changelog of all Group Policy changes across Draftable Legal versions, from version 25.1.0 (earliest) through 26.9.1 (latest). The policies are contained in ADMX/ADML template files organized into four categories:
  • Draftable.admx - Base category definition (no policies, parent container only)
  • DraftableDesktop.admx - General desktop application policies
  • DraftableDesktopLegal.admx - Legal edition-specific policies (DMS integrations, redline profiles, output options)
  • DraftableInstaller.admx - Installation-related policies

Version 26.9.1 (Latest)

Note: The 26.9.1 template adds one policy, updates the description of two policies to reflect their wider reach, and repairs the Supported on text of two policies. The schema revision moves from 2608.1 to 2609.1 across all four ADMX files and their ADML counterparts. No policies were removed or renamed, and no registry key, value name or value type changed, so policies you have already configured keep working after you update the templates. There was no separate Group Policy template release for 26.9.0, so the changes below are listed against the 26.8.1 templates.
Replace the complete set of template files. Copy all eight files into your PolicyDefinitions folder or Central Store together, replacing the previous versions: the four .admx files go in PolicyDefinitions, and the four .adml files in PolicyDefinitions\en-US. The downloaded ZIP holds all eight files in a single folder, so place the .adml files into the en-US subfolder yourself. The 26.9.1 .admx files declare a minimum .adml revision of 2609.1 and reference new display strings, so mixing old and new files can cause the Group Policy editor to report errors about missing resources. In addition, the new policy and the repaired Supported on text only appear when each .admx file and its matching .adml file are both updated. Upgrading Draftable Legal refreshes the templates in the application’s own GroupPolicy folder, but it does not update copies you have placed in PolicyDefinitions or a Central Store.

DraftableDesktopLegal.admx

Added Policies

Registry Location: Software\Policies\Draftable\Feature

Modified Policies

From 26.9.1, Bulk Compare can export Changed Pages Only output directly from its export dialog. Disabling Enable Changed Pages Output also removes that option from Bulk Compare export. The registry value (IsChangedPagesOutputEnabled) and its default are unchanged.

Technical Details

  • Added new supportedOn definition: SupportedOn_Desktop_26_9_0 (“At least Draftable 26.9.0 (or later)”), referenced by the new policy
  • Schema revision updated to 2609.1

DraftableDesktop.admx

Modified Policies

The Free text font family setting now also applies to Text Only compare output. The registry value (FreeTextFontSetting) and its default are unchanged. The Supported on repairs are display fixes only and do not change how either policy behaves.

Technical Details

  • Added the missing supportedOn definitions SupportedOn_Desktop_25_8 (“At least Draftable 25.8.0”) and SupportedOn_Desktop_25_9 (“At least Draftable 25.9.0”), already referenced by Comparison Task Processing Method and PDF to DOCX Conversion Engine
  • Schema revision updated to 2609.1

DraftableInstaller.admx / Draftable.admx

Technical Details

  • No policy changes
  • Schema revision updated to 2609.1
The 26.9.1 template files are formatted over multiple lines instead of a single line, and unused display strings were removed from the .adml files. If you compare the files with a text comparison tool, every line appears changed, but the only functional differences are the ones listed above.

Version 26.8.1

Note: The 26.8.1 template is a revision-only update. The schema revision moves from 2608.0 to 2608.1 across all four ADMX files and their ADML counterparts. No policies were added, removed, renamed or reworded, and every policy definition and display string is identical to 26.8.0.
If you have already imported the 26.8.0 templates and your Central Store is working correctly, there is no functional need to re-import. Update to 26.8.1 if you want your Central Store revision to match the shipping product version, or if you are importing the templates for the first time.

Version 26.8.0

Note: The 26.8.0 template adds one installer policy and bumps the schema revision to 2608.0. No other policies were added, removed or modified.

DraftableInstaller.admx

Added Policies

Registry Location: Software\Policies\Draftable
This is a Computer Configuration policy, so the value is written to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Draftable. It is read from HKLM only — a per-user value has no effect. Note also that it sits at the root of the Draftable policy key, not under a namespace such as Compare or Feature.

Technical Details

  • Added new supportedOn definition to DraftableInstaller.admx: SupportedOn_Desktop_26_06_100 (“Draftable 26.06.100 (or later)”), referenced by the new policy
  • Schema revision updated to 2608.0

DraftableDesktop.admx / DraftableDesktopLegal.admx / Draftable.admx

Technical Details

  • No policy changes
  • Schema revision updated to 2608.0

Version 26.6.200

Note: 26.6.200 is a template refresh on top of the 26.6.0 set. It adds two policies (one iManage, one SharePoint), removes one SharePoint policy from the template, and bumps the schema revision to 2606.200.

Technical Details

  • Added new supportedOn definition to DraftableDesktopLegal.admx: SupportedOn_Desktop_26_6_0 (“At least Draftable 26.6.0 or later”), referenced by the new “Skip the iManage system-browser sign-in confirmation prompt” policy (this definition already existed in DraftableDesktop.admx from 26.6.0)
  • “Hide minor SharePoint versions by default” references the existing SupportedOn_Desktop_26_1_0 definition (the underlying setting has existed since 26.1.0; the Group Policy was first published in the 26.6.200 template)
  • Schema revision updated to 2606.200

Version 26.6.0

Note: There was no separate 26.5.x Group Policy template release. The 26.6.0 template files are the next published set after 26.4.100. The seven policies added below were introduced and are shipped with the 26.6.0 release.

DraftableDesktopLegal.admx

Added Policies

Registry Locations: Software\Policies\Draftable\Feature (ImanageUseSystemBrowserForSignin, SettingsV2PreWarmEnabled, SummaryPagePosition, WordOpenMode, AfterCompareAction), Software\Policies\Draftable\Frontend (OutputFilenamePatternGlobal, ThreePaneShowCommentsGlobal).
The OutputFilenamePatternGlobal, ThreePaneShowCommentsGlobal, and SummaryPagePosition settings were lifted from per-redline-profile settings to global (application-wide) settings in 26.6.0. They are no longer configured inside individual redline profiles.

Technical Details

  • Added new supportedOn definition: SupportedOn_Desktop_26_5_0 (“At least Draftable 26.5.0 or later”), referenced by all seven new policies
  • The registry value name SettingsV2PreWarmEnabled retains its SettingsV2 prefix for continuity with previously deployed configurations
  • SummaryPagePosition enum values: Skipped, Start, End, Both. WordOpenMode enum values: Reviewing, Edit. AfterCompareAction stored values: ask, open, save
  • Schema revision updated to 2606.0
