Ketl 1.29 lands with a revamped set of period selectors designed to make filtering and filing documents way less tedious. The new UI parses natural language, handles a wide variety of date formats, and generally stays out of your way so you can stay focused on actual work.
With the updated selectors, you can type things like “last week,” “last month,” or “last year,” or define any custom range with a simple, predictable interface.
…and a bunch more that behave exactly as you’d expect.
We are proud of our work on this release and believe that the new period selectors will significantly improve your experience with Ketl.
We are committed to continuously enhancing our platform based on your feedback and needs, and if you feel something is missing or could be improved, please do not hesitate to reach out to us!

With the introduction of Ketl Dock, now you can immediately check if you already filed a similar file before.
Everytime you are trying to file a file that has already been filed, you will see an alert, if you expand that alert, you can see what similar files have been filed and take action.
Flows are a way to communicate around your information, you can create tasks from a document, add notes to a project or assign events to a client. Available on your Contacts, Projects, and Documents. You can find them in your right-tab or in your Flows Dashboard.
There are different types of Flows:
Notes

Deadlines
Chats
Timesheets
You can have a complete overview of your Flows in the new Flows Dashboard.
To access it, click in the Flows icon on your left side bar. Flows can be marked as Pending or Completed.

Filters across the app now align with the various fields in your filing plan, leveraging the information from to your documents, projects and entities.

A new operator allows you to apply negative conditions to a filter. This lets you better view project documents containing many emails, for example, by selecting:
PowerPoint (.pptx) and Excel (.xlsx) formats are now partially supported with template management. Handy for distributing standard documents within your organization!
You can now export your search results without applying a single active filter. This is useful if, for example, you want to quickly generate a list of the latest classified files.
Scrolling on a PDF during classification no longer erroneously applies to other documents displayed afterward.
PDF scrolling status is now correctly stored when switching tabs.
When splitting a PDF, the list of documents to classify only shows the files resulting from the split. Once they are classified or when clicking the “Back” button, the current file list is displayed.

With our new filters, you can now include or exclude part of a filter, combine filters together to show views with all or any filters applied. To use different operators and refine queries, click on parts of the filter formula to modify it.
We have also added date filters that let you match projects by when they were created, updated, completed, or when they're due. See issue before or after a certain date or combine filters to view date ranges.
We rebuilt our Period component that is used in Filing. This new implementation uses Radix primitives and React-aria under the hood. Using these libraries made our period component compatible with W3C accessibility requirements, enhanced keyboard support for navigating between dates, and made all elemets to match a currently selected interface theme.
More accessibility improvements are coming, stay tuned.
Together with the new search, we have added your recent searches to be available in your search bar options, the development on this feature will continue so in the future you can create you own custom saved searches.
Based on your feedback, we've integrated Adobe's document viewer to elevate your reading and searching experience. Whether you're on desktop, tablet, or phone, your documents have never looked better.
Our new Dock offers a smarter, faster way to interact with your documents — file, share, download, or print with a simple click.

A Note on Adobe Telemetry
Adobe's viewer includes telemetry to monitor usage and ensure compliance. Rest assured, Ketl has not activated Adobe Analytics, minimizing data sharing. More on data protection can be found here (see page 5).
