What’s New in Business Central’s DocXtender v2.4?

The DocXtender app from Insight Works is a free and trusted document attachment tool that simplifies how users attach files to records in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. Whether storing documents inside Business Central or linking them to SharePoint, DocXtender enables users to drag and drop files directly onto any supported record—without leaving their workflow.

By eliminating the need for separate systems or manual uploads, DocXtender helps teams centralize documents, improve collaboration, and reduce administrative overhead. Used across departments—from accounting and operations to customer service—DocXtender is a practical, no-cost tool for organizations looking to streamline digital file management.

With the release of v2.4, DocXtender introduces a range of new features that make document handling faster, smarter, and easier. A free app that enables users to attach documents to any Business Central record with a simple drag and drop, DocXtender continues to be the go-to document attachment solution for Business Central—and here’s what’s new in this latest version.

Why DocXtender Stands Out

DocXtender delivers a streamlined document management experience entirely within Business Central. Key benefits include:

• Drag-and-Drop Simplicity: Attach files directly to records with a simple drag and drop—no switching apps or uploading manually.
• Unlimited Document Attachments: Store as many files as needed per record, including PDFs, Word documents, spreadsheets, images, and email files.
• Internal or SharePoint Storage: Choose to save files within Business Central or upload them directly to SharePoint.
• Multi-User Access: Make attachments instantly available to authorized users across departments.
• Full File Type Support: Accepts a wide range of formats, including .pdf, .docx, .xlsx, .msg, .jpg, and more.
• No Cost to Use: DocXtender is free to install and use from Microsoft AppSource.
• Extendable to Any Page: Enable drag-and-drop on nearly any page—even those without built-in attachment factboxes.

What’s New in DocXtender v2.4?

The v2.4 update focuses on enhancing user experience, reducing steps, and improving integration with SharePoint.

• See SharePoint Links Immediately: Links attached to a record after uploading to SharePoint now appear instantly without a page refresh, so you confirm uploads faster and move on without losing context.
• Upload to SharePoint from the Links FactBox: A new action in the Document Attachment List FactBox uploads existing attachments to SharePoint in one step, keeping documents centralized and reducing clicks.
• Faster Logins to SharePoint: Speed up dragging and dropping to SharePoint with faster login logic that also minimizes authentication prompts so you complete uploads with fewer interruptions.
• Automatically Replace Duplicate Attachments: When a duplicate file is detected, you can replace the existing document attachment, keeping records clean and avoiding multiple versions of the same file.
• Easily Add Drag & Drop to Standard Tables: Improved logic handles most standard tables, even if their pages do not have document factboxes, reducing the effort to extend the pages.
