SpiderOak CrossClave 15.0 Release Notes, 2021-11-03

CrossClave Version 15, "Daring Jumping Spider"

CrossClave 15 is the version you really want!

“Perfection is not attainable. But if we chase perfection, we can catch excellence.” — Vince Lombardi

As you can see from the length of this release notes page, we've been busy. There are a bunch of new features and a slew of bug fixes in version 15. All of these small improvements are part of our goal to make CrossClave an excellent tool. Here are a few highlights:

Files: Set a historical version as current version 

You've always been able to open and edit a historical version of any file in CrossClave, but this feature means you can revert a file to a previous version without needing to open the historical version. 

Any historical version can be set as the "current version" with a single click

Why is this important? Ransomware and disaster recovery. If you have files that are infected with ransomware you can now revert those files to versions saved before the infection occurred. This is a great example of why a data-centric security model, or applying security directly to files rather than to a whole computer, is an important piece of an effective security story.

Onboarding: QR Code Scanning Improvements

One of the quickest ways to add people to a team if you are physically together is through QR code scanning. In Settings > Team Directory click the + button, enter their name, then pull up the QR code. The person you are onboarding simply needs to click "Join Team" and then scan the QR code and they'll be added. We've streamlined and improved this workflow so even fewer clicks are needed.

When you see ✅  Got it after a successful scan, the app automatically advances to the next step. No need to click Continue or click more buttons.

We hope you'll enjoy using CrossClave 15 as much as we enjoyed making it. 

We love to hear how you are using CrossClave and how we can improve. Let us know through our Help Center, Community Forum, or at crossclave@spideroak.com
