It’s time for our August new features wrap-up!
For those that are new, at the end of each month, we share a wrap-up of the new features we released. We include features that have been fully released, in a gradual release and even give our community a sneak peak into features that are in their development stages 
We are also including a new section that uncovers our 
top tips and support highlights for the month!
We will kick things off with the 
support highlights for August
In our Office Hours session last week, we discussed the different apps available (in the apps marketplace) for document management. In response to this discussion, we decided to put out a poll on our facebook page to uncover which app was the 
community favourite
These were the results of the poll and community anecdotes:
Docugen came out on top with 52% of the vote!
- Their support is great & their team gets back to you instantly.
Getsign was next on the podium with 20% of the vote!
- GetSign was so much easier to use than Docugen. Their support is amazing and they’re responsive to feature recommendations. Free option available.
Eledo took 3rd place with 19%!
- Eledo, it’s insanely powerful, though complex, and support is fast and in-app.
- Eledo! Amazing and can be personalised. Using it to autogenerate our clients invoice attachment files.
Pandadoc was last but not least with 9%!
