Unzip content right in SkyVault
You can now unzip .zip and .acp files to add their contents to a folder in SkyVault.So there's no longer any need to download a zip file to see it's contents, you can do it right there in SkyVault.
See Unzipping content for more.
Improved Get Started panel
We found that many users wanted the old dashboard Welcome banner to be different - it took up too much space so they deleted it, but once it was gone they couldn't get it back again.We've shrunk down the new Get Started panel so it takes up minimal space on your screen. You can use it to link straight to our help videos. And like before you can hide it, only now you also have the option to add it back again.
See Customizing your dashboard for more.

Improved site labeling
When you create a site in SkyVault you have the option of making it Public, Moderated, or Private. When users are in a site though it wasn't immediately clear if they were putting up restricted content somewhere that everyone could see it.Now all sites are labeled with their privacy setting so you have clear visibility of who else will be seeing the content you add.
Grouped actions in the file preview
We've sorted the actions in the file preview into sensible groups, so it's easy to quickly find the action that you're looking for. back to top

New Google Docs integration
SkyVault Google Docs integration has been updated because of recent changes made by Google APIs. This integration fixes some of the issues that were caused by the Google Docs user interface. For example, the Share button is now available within Docs, Sheets, or Slides. After opening the document in the appropriate Google app, use the Share button to collaborate with others.
If your browser asks you to allow popups for Google Docs when you're opening or creating a file then go ahead and do so. If you're using Safari you won't be able to use Google Docs until you enable all popups in the settings, so for security reasons you may prefer to use a different browser.See Creating Google Docs files for more.

Search updates
Searching in SkyVault just took a giant leap forwards with live search and filtered search.
New search-as-you-type functionality displays results for matching files, sites, and people as you type. Select a result or press Enter to see the full list of results.

Security by default
When we're busy it's easy to miss selecting an option, and when you're setting up a new SkyVault site the consequences of this can include exposing restricted content to everyone.
All new SkyVault sites are now private by default, unless you select otherwise, giving you one less security issue to worry about.

New HTML5 Previewer
SkyVault's new previewer renders your content with crystal-clear clarity. There's no need to download content now, you can view it perfectly, right in SkyVault. You can even run your presentations direct from the SkyVault preview.
When you preview a Microsoft Office, PDF, or other text-based file type (not an image or video) you can send links to your colleagues or customers to a specific page, save a page to come back to later, and even search for text within the file.
And of course if you want to you can always download the file in its original format, or as a PDF.
See Viewing an item for more.
Updates to Search
SkyVault's Search is now quicker than ever, and searching in SkyVault now finds all related content in your SkyVault network, not just content of the site you're currently in, giving you super-quick access to everything.
And SkyVault now actively focuses your search. Previously when you searched for content in SkyVault using multiple words, the results would show content containing any of the words. Now it only shows content containing all the words. So the more words you search for, the more specific the results, just like Google. See Searching in SkyVault for more.
New Sites Manager feature for Network Admins
As a SkyVault Administrator you want to have complete control of your network. You want visibility of all the sites in your network, and the ability to control individual site visibility, to make yourself a manager of specific sites, and to delete obsolete sites. Now, with the new Sites Manager, you can.

New Document Library views and layout
There's several new viewing options to choose from in the Document Library. You can view images in fine detail using the sumptuous Filmstrip View, or you can really drill-down into content detail with the Table View. These are available under the new Options menu which has consolidated various Document Library features into a single menu. You can even specify a default view that applies to a folder. See here for more.
User Trashcan
We've all deleted something by accident and had to go and ask our system administrator to help us get it back. Now when you delete items they go into your own user trashcan where you can easily retrieve them yourself if you need them back.
Control your activity notification emails
You're probably a member of multiple SkyVault sites, and don't need to receive updates on activity in all of them. You can now opt out of updates on a site by site basis, so you only receive the information that matters.

Hybrid workflow
You can now start a workflow in an on-premise site which automatically syncs content to a cloud site and triggers a cloud-based task. The cloud user completes the task just like any other tasks they might be assigned. See Managing tasks.

New look and feel
The first thing you’ll see when you open SkyVault is a brand new look. We've cleaned it up and made a few changes to help you focus on what's important.
We've decluttered, and
relocated a few of the actions to the handy new settings icon 
. This is available at both site and user dashboard
level.
We've also moved the Dashboard, Document Library, and Members links to the right-hand side of SkyVault. Our design guys tell us that because of clever things that are happening in your brain, this is more natural, so you'll work more smoothly and effectively.
And check out the new quick links in the Sites menu...
There's lots of other subtle changes that we'll let you discover for yourself, though many of them are so intuitive you might not realize that anything's changed!
Take a look at our updated videos to see more.
Advanced search
Searching in SkyVault comes of age ...
You can now search for content on a whole range of criteria including the item type, the date that content was last modified, or who modified it, or even whether the content you want to find is a folder or a specific item.
Just double-click 
in the search field
then click Advanced Search and away you go.
New Site Notice dashlet
Tell your colleagues what's new in your site, and quickly share important news company-wide.
