This year has been the busiest so far, and our team has gone through a lot of changes since we joined the STARLIMS family! Our product is more robust and performant than ever, and our team has been working really hard to optimise Labstep to be the best for you and your team. We've been focused on developing a better platform with fewer feature releases that completely change the way things work and look. This way when we do release something new, you know it's bound to be big and make a huge (positive) difference in your workflow. Speaking of workflow...

We're releasing a big new feature that will help you achieve compliance by giving you the capability to enforce signature and enforce locking. Alongside, custom collaborator roles, custom statuses and comment-only mode. Check out these articles to learn how to configure and use workflows!

To get access to the beta, contact info@labstep.com or your account manager.

We've updated our integrated Chemical Drawing tool Ketcher from v2.5 to v2.20. For a full list of bug fixes, improvements and new features in the new version, see https://github.com/epam/ketcher/releases.

We have given the workspace overview a little makeover to better prioritise the most interacted with elements—she's a beauty queen! We have also changed the protocols widget to show the Most Commonly used protocols instead of just the most recent. Keep your eyes peeled for further improvements to the overview page in future releases.

All news about Labstep, including bug fixes and product updates, is available in our News Centre here.

We've said goodbye to the ellipsis menu on the left-hand side and moved the Tag Manager, Experiment Templates, Resource Categories and Locations into the Workspace Settings so that everything you need to set up and configure your workspace as the Owner is all in one place.
