What's New? 🌟

Enhancements

• Automatic File Locking and Unlocking for Office Files

  • FenixPyre introduces automatic file locking and unlocking for Office files (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) which are synced to your desktop from OneDrive or SharePoint. This feature ensures secure and controlled file management, eliminating the risk of conflicts during collaboration.

• Compliance Mode, powered by Protect-by-Process (PxP) :

  • FenixPyre Compliance Mode, powered by Protect-by-Process (PxP), enables seamless CMMC compliance. Users can easily toggle Compliance Mode on or off. When compliance mode is disabled, access to encrypted files is restricted, ensuring sensitive data stays secure and protected.

Bug Fixes

• Auto-Save in Excel: Fixed the issue where auto-save remained enabled for Excel files even when OneDrive collaboration was disabled. Auto-save now correctly follows organization's collaboration settings.

• Save-As Excel: Resolved the "Save-As" issue for unencrypted Excel files. Users can now save these files without any issues.

• BSOD Issue: The rare occurrence of DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE BSOD issue related to USB devices in Windows 11 Pro has been resolved.

• Save-As PDF to Protected Network Share: Resolved the issue where saving as PDF from Word, Excel, or PowerPoint to a protected network share created incomplete files without notifying the user.
