Draftable Clean v26.7.0 focuses on closing the loop with your document management system. You can now open documents directly from SharePoint Online and save cleaned files straight back to your DMS — without leaving the desktop app — alongside workflow, enterprise install, and update improvements. Here are the five key features in this release:
  • SharePoint Online integration — open and clean documents directly from SharePoint Online in the desktop app, matching the DMS experience already available for iManage and NetDocuments
  • Save cleaned documents back to your DMS — write cleaned files straight back to iManage, NetDocuments, and SharePoint from within Draftable Clean, instead of saving locally and re-uploading
  • Clean from the Windows 11 right-click menu — add a Clean in Draftable command to the main Windows 11 right-click menu to clean a file’s metadata straight from File Explorer, without opening the app first
  • Automatic re-clean on profile change — selecting a different cleaning profile after a file has been cleaned re-cleans it automatically, so the result always matches the chosen profile
  • Smoother enterprise installs — the MSI installs the HTTP listener by default and surfaces the installed application version in the app and its logs

Integrations

SharePoint Online integration

Draftable Clean now connects directly to SharePoint Online and OneDrive for Business. You can browse and open documents into the desktop app for scanning and cleaning, just as you already can with iManage and NetDocuments. This removes the need to download a copy locally before you can clean it. Enable it in Settings > Integrations, then sign in with a Microsoft work or school account. You can add more than one account, including accounts in different tenants, and Draftable Clean directs each request to the correct tenant. Personal Microsoft accounts are not supported. SharePoint joins iManage and NetDocuments as a supported DMS integration for the desktop application. Supported file types, including images, can be selected through the SharePoint picker.

Save cleaned documents back to your DMS

You can now save cleaned documents back to your DMS — iManage, NetDocuments, and SharePoint — directly from Draftable Clean. Once a file has been cleaned, use the Save action in the toolbar to write it back to its source system, rather than saving a local copy and manually re-uploading it.

Clearer feedback when saving several files

Saving a group of files to a document management system now shows the progress of the save and which system each file is being written to. If a file cannot be saved, it is listed with the reason once the save finishes rather than failing the whole batch — for example, a document that did not originate in iManage cannot be saved there as a new version. If you cancel part way through, the files already saved are kept and the summary reports how many completed.

Clean from the Windows 11 right-click menu

You can now add a Clean in Draftable command to the main Windows 11 right-click menu, so you can clean a file’s metadata straight from File Explorer without opening the app first. Enable it from Settings > Integrations > Windows integration. For step-by-step instructions, see Enable the Windows 11 right-click menu for Draftable Clean.

Ease of Use

Automatic re-clean when you change profile

If you change the cleaning profile after a document has already been cleaned, Draftable Clean now re-cleans the file automatically using the newly selected profile. This ensures the cleaned output always reflects the profile you have chosen, without needing to trigger the clean again manually.

Cleaner email hand-off

When you prepare an email from the application, Draftable Clean no longer inserts a default “Cleaned Document” subject line. Prepared emails now start with a blank subject and body, unless your administrator has configured default text, so nothing unwanted is left in outgoing messages.

Simplified status bar

The separate engine version number has been removed from the status bar for a cleaner, less cluttered interface. Draftable Clean now reports a single application version.

Cleaning

Clearer reporting of metadata that cannot be removed

Where a cleaning profile can only partially clean a file, Draftable Clean now tells you which metadata could not be removed, rather than reporting the file as fully cleaned. As part of this, JPEG 2000 images (JP2/JPX) embedded in PDF files are no longer presented as safely cleanable. See Supported file types for details.

Admin Configuration

HTTP listener installed by default

The machine-wide MSI now installs the HTTP listener by default. This simplifies enterprise deployment by ensuring the listener required for integrations is present without additional configuration steps.

Installed version visible in the app and logs

For MSI-installed deployments, the installed application version is now shown on the app screen and included in the application logs. Previously the version had to be looked up in Windows Settings > Apps > Installed apps. See Updating Draftable Clean.

URL protocol registration

Draftable Clean now registers the draftableclean:// URL protocol when it is installed, allowing other applications and the Windows 11 right-click menu to hand a file to Draftable Clean for cleaning. If your organization restricts custom protocol handlers, allow draftableclean://. See Enterprise deployment.

License activation through authenticated proxies

License activation now follows the Windows system proxy settings and authenticates using the signed-in user’s Windows credentials. This allows activation to succeed on networks that require an authenticated corporate proxy. See Network requirements.

Reliability

More reliable background updates

This release refreshes the updater and improves the reliability of Draftable Clean’s automatic background updates, including more accurate handling of release history. Stale browser data is also cleared on install and update, preventing cache-related problems that could otherwise stop the application from starting correctly after an upgrade. Because this data includes saved sign-in sessions, you may need to sign in again to SharePoint or NetDocuments the first time you use them after updating.
