While editing the document in Microsoft 365, the document is locked in Dalux. When you exit the edit sessions, the document will update in Dalux.
Permissions for reading and editing the documents follow the permissions in the instance.

Assets
Increased asset limits when importing assets from Dalux Handover
The limits have been increased so you can import more assets from a Dalux Handover project. This allows you to import an asset placed on a large number of 3D objects to FM as individual assets. The limit has been increased to 1000.
General
Use custom fields as placeholders in email signatures
Custom fields can be used as placeholders in relevant email signatures. For instance, if you create custom fields for work orders, they can be used in the email signature related to work orders.

Locations
Ignore objects when using cuts
When using cuts in 3D, a selected category or file can be ignored by the cut. Using a combination of cuts and ignored categories/files allows you to see your model from a different perspective than before. Create a cut, and then click on an object from another file or category and choose to ignore it.
