Version 3.0
Release date:November 13, 2015
New features
- Cloud Collaboration Services are now available
- Save your processes in Bizagi Cloud and invite team members or clients to collaboratively and improve processes. You invitees can be Editors (can change process flow and include documentation) or Collaborators (can navigate through diagrams and review documentations as well as Comment on any diagram or model)
- Safely store your models in a secure centralized repository with Bizagi Cloud
- Using your Bizagi credentials you now have a free Personal account, with a storage of up to 10 MB. If you want to share your models and collaborate you can purchase our Cloud Collaboration services.
- Work offline in your collaboration models
- We’ve all felt that frustration of losing connectivity just as you need it most. But now, you can continue working as normal – even in those dead zones. Using Bizagi’s incredibly powerful offline capabilities, you can simply check out your process model, make changes, and sync it once you’re back online.
- Select from Editors or Contributors to share your models
- Editors have full access to the model. They need the Bizagi Modeler application in their laptops to edit the process flow or include documentation. Contributors just need a browser in any device to navigate through the diagrams, read the documentation and include comments as feedback in the definition of each process.
- One 360 View
- Get full visibility of each process model and its editorial status. See who checked out the process model, get notified each time a change is made, and get alerts when the diagram is all yours to work on again. With Bizagi Cloud Collaboration services, there’s no duplication of time or effort.
- Collaboration mode synchronizes changes and comments in real time
- Get full visibility of each process model and its editorial status. See who checked out the process model, get notified each time a change is made, and get alerts when the diagram is all yours to work on again. With Bizagi Cloud Collaboration services, there’s no duplication of time or effort.
