[11.0.6.6] No new features. [11.0.6.5] No new features. [11.0.6.4] No new features. [11.0.6.3] No new features. [11.0.6.2] No new features. [11.0.6.1] No new features. [11.0.6.0] No new features. [11.0.5.9] No new features. [11.0.5.8] SharePoint Essentials Toolkit: Pre-Flight check: Added new feature to validate credentials and job information before jobs start. This feature will list inadequacies and permission issues before running. SharePoint Essentials Toolkit: Home Page Dashboard: New site icon color coded 'permission indicators' to show permissions the current user has on each site. SharePoint Essentials Toolkit: Home Page Dashboard: New site icon color coded 'unique permissions indicators' to show if subsites have unique permissions. SharePoint Essentials Toolkit: All Jobs: Added new report exports timer to ensure all reports and logs are exported to file system of local machine (Reports directory in Settings). An option for export interval can be configured in the Settings=>Jobs section. Default is to export an Excel file for the report, and logs every 5 minutes. This is to be used as a backup in event it is needed. NOTE: Still, the primary location for jobs and reports should be from Job History section, then users can click to Export the reports to Excel from there. SharePoint Essentials Toolkit: Check for Updates: Added new feature to automatically check for updates on application startup and notify the user if they would like to apply the update. SharePoint Content Manager: Content Search feature (formerly Item Query) now available as BETA. This component can be used to find content in your SharePoint environment. For example: find all instances of text within web pages, file content and item metadata; find html, JavaScript or CSS within web pages; find web parts with specific names or content (coming soon), more. Search & Replace coming soon. [11.0.5.7] No new features. [11.0.5.6] No new features. [11.0.5.5] SharePoint Permissions Manager: Check Account Permissions: New "Check Account Permissions" feature. This new feature will allow users to check one or more accounts' permissions at the Site Collection Admin, Site, List and Item level. This feature has been optimized for performance. The main difference between this report 'Check Account Permissions' and the 'Permissions Report', is that the 'Permissions Report' does not show members inside of large domain groups (for performance reasons) such as 'Everyone except external users' or 'All Users' groups, but the Check Account Permissions, will show if users have access through ANY domain groups, including the large domain groups like 'All Users'. [11.0.5.4] No new features. [11.0.5.3] SharePoint Essentials Toolkit: All Jobs: New option for 'Item Processing Timeout' (Settings->Jobs). This new option will help prevent jobs from hanging on items/files. The default setting is 300 seconds (5min) and is configurable. Most items should complete within 1 second or less, however, if a file is stuck for any reason, the job will quit processing the item if it hits this timeout, and continue to the next item. This is to avoid the job from hanging or consuming too many resources. [11.0.5.2] No new features. [11.0.5.1] SharePoint Permissions Manager: New 'Permissions Summary Report' - The Permissions Summary Report gives a high level overview of access to your SharePoint sites, lists and libraries. You can apply filters by right clicking the column header and selecting “Show Filter Editor”. With filters, you can create ‘Views’ to show only information of interest, such as ‘All sites and lists with 200 or more users with access’. [11.0.5.0] SharePoint Essentials Toolkit: General Availability (out of BETA) [11.0.4.3] SharePoint Essentials Toolkit: All Reports: New setting (Settings-> Export to Excel Type) which will allow selecting 2 modes for exporting, one is 'What you see is what you get' type format, where it will have a more literal representation of the report data. Data-Aware will be a dynamic representation where user can make modifications to groupings for example and expand and collapse groups. SharePoint Permissions Manager: Clone Account: New "Clone Account" feature. This allows users to clone one or more users, to one or more accounts. For example, 3 new sales people may join team and requires the same permissions as another sales person, this feature will allow you to clone from an existing sales person to the 3 new sales people. SharePoint Essentials Toolkit: Remove Account: New "Remove Account" feature allows you to completely remove one or more accounts from your SharePoint environment/tenant or selected sites. [11.0.4.2] SharePoint Content Search: Now available as BETA. This feature allows users to search for files, folders, list items and/or pages for matches. This feature will also search inside of content such as within PDF files, Word and Excel documents and web pages. Find & Replace feature for Content Search results coming soon. [11.0.4.1] SharePoint Inventory: 'Item Inventory' jobs added. This is used to build item-level reports (items/files/pages/folders within selected sites and lists). This is useful for finding large files, duplicate files (more coming soon to assist with this criteria), items with too many versions, items storage space used (including by version history), files with no checked in version across sites and lists, metadata value searches (enable Additional Fields in job options for this). [11.0.4.0] No new features. [11.0.3.9] No new features. [11.0.3.8] No new features. [11.0.3.7] No new features. [11.0.3.6] No new features. [11.0.3.5] No new features. [11.0.3.4] No new features.

For example, this new feature can be used to re-run previous jobs against only items that had errors using a list of the item paths (which could be exported from a filtered report). [11.0.3.2] No new features. [11.0.3.1] No new features. [11.0.3.0] SharePoint Essentials Toolkit: Added support for SharePoint 2016 and 2019 on-premises.

SharePoint Broken Link Manager: Link Filtering: Added support for "Link URL inclusions in content" filtering. SharePoint Broken Link Manager: Find & Replace - Flag Only: Added a new option to 'flag' replacement matches but to NOT fix/change the links.
