Your German, Belgian and Spanish companies in Alex
Germany, Belgium and Spain join the countries available for foreign companies.
Germany, Belgium and Spain join the countries available for foreign companies. Alex knows their legal forms, their registration number and their French-law equivalents. Features built on French law now answer with the rules of the country, or tell you the notion does not exist there, instead of applying the French rule. You pick the country when you add the company.
One reader, everywhere you open a document
Your PDFs now open in the same reader across Documents, operations, drafts, signature and annual accounts. Search a term with Cmd/Ctrl+F and the matches are highlighted, zoom, fit to page or width, rotate, show one or two pages, use the thumbnails, print, go full screen, and select text to copy it. A large document appears without waiting for the whole download. In Documents, the preview moves the name, the actions and the details into a side panel you can hide to keep only the pages, and the space bar closes it.
Export the index of a single folder
The document index now exports for one folder or for a selection, not only for the whole company. That is what you need to prepare a data room or a closing binder. « Export the index », as PDF or Word, sits in a folder's menu and in the selection bar. A selected folder brings all its contents along.
