A comprehensive changelog documenting the evolution of Draftable Legal Group Policy settings across versions 25.1.0 through 26.4.100

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 26.4.100 (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 26.4.100 (Latest)

No policy changes from 26.4.0

The policy files remain unchanged from 26.4.0. Schema revision updated to 2604.100.

Note: The 26.4.100 release includes corrected ADMX/ADML template files. The 26.4.0 template files that were previously distributed were missing several policies that had been added in earlier versions. If you are using templates from 26.4.0, it is recommended to update to the 26.4.100 templates.
