Features

• In-Progress feature implemented
  (https://docs.unity3d.com/2017.1/Documentation/Manual/CollaborateInProgress.html)
• Improved Partial Publish now sends you to the Collab toolbar
• Improved right click menu integration — can “See Differences”, “Revert” and resolve conflicts through right click menu.
• Added filters in project browser in addition to “All Modified” (showing all your local changes) we now have: “All In Progress”, “All Conflicted” (showing you what files are in conflict), “All Excluded” (showing all files that are being affected by .collabignore)

Known Issues

• We do not ask user to save local changes before Updating to grab the latest changes from teammates. Make sure to save first before Updating if you want to keep your changes.
• In-Progress icons not visible on files in Project Browser when viewed in One Column Layout. Need to change to Two Column Layout to view them in Project Browser.
