1. Product Changes
1.1 Repeating Content Control (RCC)
We have enhanced Please Review to provide better support for users reviewing documents and to deliver an improved user experience. These enhancements include the ability for reviewers to comment and edits on Repeating Content Controls in Please Review. Authors are now encouraged to avoid copying content from duplicated controls for their reviews, and then copying back into Repeating Content Controls before finalising the protocol.
We have also introduced new ‘Configuration Settings’ and ‘Show Control History’ capabilities, specifically implemented to enhance the handling of Repeating Content Controls. These improvements contribute to a modern and user-friendly experience within Please Review.
Example:
- {Protocol Title} ← This is a repeating content control.
- We can find this RCC in paragraphs 1 & 10 in a review.
- It will render the same changes to paragraph 10 if there is a change to the control at paragraph 1 and vice versa.
1.2 Configuration
Please ensure you enable Repeating Content Controls before uploading the document to Please Review. This configuration only needs to be set up once.
1.3 Show Control History
‘Show Control History’ option will be available if Repeating Content Controls is enabled, and the paragraph contains Repeating Content Controls.

2. Enhancing the Veeva Vault Integration
To ensure a streamlined and efficient workflow that saves time for improved productivity, Please Review 7.5.0 introduces a new capability to allow finish review within Veeva Vault centric.
Our latest enhancement is designed to simplify your workflow, boost productivity, and enhance your experience. As a review owner within the Veeva Vault centric, you can now close a review, even if reviewers have not completed it and cancel active workflow tasks when finishing a review action, eliminating the need for manual task cancellation.
This improvement will provide more flexibility and control for review owner during the review process, enabling seamless collaboration and an improved user experience.
Note: This improvement is only applicable to Veeva Vault OneWorkflow.
3. Enhancing System for Cross-Domain Identity Managment
3.1 Streamlined Management
We have improved our System for Cross-Domain Identity Management, enhancing its ability to efficiently synchronise users into Please Review.
To ensure streamlined and efficient user identity management that saves time and boosts productivity, Please Review 7.5.0 introduces a new capability that automates workflows and reduces manual tasks within the platform.
This enhancement seamlessly integrates with Microsoft Entra and Okta, both widely used identity management systems. For more details, please visit the v7.5 SCIM Installation Guide for more information.
