5. Improvements for workspaces with many documents
When search is applied on a workspace (using wildcard search), results are sorted by last modified date and not by search rank. When a keyword is used in the search query, results are sorted by rank.
When documents cannot reliably be retrieved in workspaces with regular filters, we now automatically apply a search using wildcard (*). This can happen when there are more than 5000 documents and columns cannot be indexed or don’t work for applied filters.
6. Dark and high contrast themes in Microsoft Teams
The MetaShare app for Microsoft Teams will match your selected theme in Microsoft Teams.
