New features
WorkPoint Express 365 compatibility
With the release of WorkPoint 365 version 4.21, production solutions are now compatible WorkPoint Express 365. Please note that the WorkPoint Express 365 product is still in preview. You can read more about how to install and/or deploy WorkPoint Express 365 in the articles in this section of the support portal.
Improvements

You can read more about My Tools button configuration in this article.
- Security Replication jobs can now be split into a parent job and several individual child jobs per entity targeted, if targeting multiple entities. If the security replication operation targets a single entity, the replication job operation will be performed as previous. If the operation targets multiple entities, or if the replication scope uses a CAML query, the operation will start a parent job, which in turn starts one child job for each individual entity targeted. Once all child jobs are completed, the parent job is completed. The progress can be viewed in the Webjob Queue in the WorkPoint 365 administration. You can read more about Security Replication in this article.
- The "Select library and folder" WorkPoint Automate step now has an option to create a new folder. When the "Folder" field is focused, the user can select a folder to use in subsequent steps of the process. If no suitable folder exists, in the side panel the user can select a "Create new" button and enter a name for the new folder. When created, the new folder is automatically selected in the side panel, and user can confirm the selection. The "New folder" option is available in the process side panel:
