Approver Help Center Now Available

We’re constantly on the lookout for ways to make Approver.com easier to use, so we’re excited to announce a new Approver.com Help Center. This handy resource provides information on Approver’s features and concepts, all collected in one convenient place. Ever wondered how to publish documents to the Web using Approver? It’s in there. Curious about the advantages of a paid Approver Pro account? We’ve got you covered.

We’ve collected about a dozen help topics in the Help Center today, but one of the additional benefits of today’s launch is that we’re using Approver to maintain our own online help system, which will make it super easy for the Approver.com team to bring you timely help information as we roll out new features.

The Help Center is available from every page on Approver.com (just click on the handy “Help” link at the bottom of any page).

New: Import Contacts from GMail, Yahoo!, Outlook, Plaxo and More

Yesterday we added the ability to import contacts from a number of address book products. Our address book importer enables you to import contacts from these products:

• GMail
• Yahoo! Mail
• MSN Hotmail
• Plaxo
• Microsoft Outlook

Importing contacts only takes a few seconds and will save you time and typing when inviting colleagues to review documents. Approver.com users click here to import contacts.

Tell Us What You Think! Take the Approver.com User Survey

We just launched our first ever user survey. With this survey, we’re hoping to get your feedback on what you like and dislike about Approver.com so we can add new functionality you want. As always, your feedback is very valuable to us, and the survey shouldn’t take long to complete (about 5-8 minutes or so).

New: Document Tagging

With today’s upgrade we added the ability to tag documents. Tagging is a flexible way to organize information. It’s sort of like the way you organize files in folders on your computer, except tags are better, because any document can have any number of tags associated with it.

To tag a document, go to the document’s page and scroll down to the “Tags” panel. (Today this will only work for documents you’ve created, but we’re looking to enable tagging for anyone with access to the document.)

Type some text and hit Enter to create a tag. Click on the tag to see all of your documents that have that tag. Click on the [x] link to delete a tag. Simple, simple, simple.

Approver.com Upgrade

Approver.com was unavailable for a short time this morning so we could perform a system upgrade. The system is now back up and we are performing post-upgrade checks; we’ll post a summary of new features within the next hour.
