Release 26.07 (July) – Legalsense

Filter previously archived matters and search by retained archive number

The matter list search covers archived and reopened matters alongside active ones, so a single search reaches your whole matter history. You can search by the archive number a matter retains to open it directly, and use the archived-status filter to narrow the results when needed. See also Archiving.

The matter list with the More filters section expanded, showing the Archive number field filled with a value and the Unarchived filter set to Yes, and a matching matter in the results below. — The *Archive number* and *Unarchived* filters under *More filters* on the matter list.

Features

The billing reference can be set from the invoice, in the Edit address modal opened with the icon next to Address. Setting it here keeps the change on the invoice itself, without editing the matter debtor.

The Edit address modal for an invoice, with debtor, contact person, address, VAT, and VAT number fields, and the Billing reference field near the bottom above the Save button. — The *Billing reference* field in the *Edit address* modal. Leaving it empty falls back to the matter debtor's billing reference.

Billing groups can be searched and edited from the list. Search by matter to find the right group, and edit it directly from its row using the Edit action.

You can choose when a user welcome mail is sent. On the Users page, create or edit a user, select Send welcome mail, and set the date in the Welcome mail send date field below it. Leave the date empty to send the mail on the user's begin date, so it arrives once the account is active. The send date cannot be earlier than the begin date.

Swedish interface terms have been updated for firms using the Swedish language. The former submatter label is shown as ärendefas, and the former debtor label as betalare; these are display changes only and do not affect existing behavior.

Time entry and AI

Draft time entries have a dedicated overview where you can review them with filtering, sorting, and bulk actions. Select several draft entries and act on them together instead of one at a time.

The Draft time entries page under Timesheet, Drafts, showing a row of filters, Approve and Delete bulk-action buttons, and a list of draft entries with sortable columns for date, matter, timekeeper, activity, and description. — The *Draft time entries* page under *Timesheet* → *Drafts*, with filters, *Approve* and *Delete* bulk actions, and the entry list.

Verbal time entry reports whether a submission succeeded or failed, with the follow-up action to take. The notification tells you what to do next when an entry cannot be submitted.

Admins can select the AI model used for supported features on the AI provider page. Choose any supported model to match your firm's preference.

Admins can choose a data residency region for the OpenAI provider on the AI provider page. Select the region that matches your firm's data requirements.

Admins can configure which timesheet input methods are available, including verbal time entry. Enable the methods your firm uses so timekeepers work with only the preferred options when writing time.

Invoices

Invoice headers, footers, and extra text are checked for valid syntax when you save them. If the content contains invalid markup, it is reported so you can correct it before it reaches an invoice.

Swedish Bankgiro and Plusgiro can be set as payment means on Peppol invoices sent through the Inexchange integration. Non-taxed lines carry tax category E, so Swedish firms can issue compliant Peppol invoices.

The overview of sent Peppol invoices can be filtered and sorted, by invoice, sent-date range, and delivery status, so you can track which invoices reached the Peppol network. The page also adopts the refreshed interface.

Other changes

The interface refresh reaches more pages, including the matter detail page, the Timesheet Hours report, and the calendar, with smaller styling and layout refinements throughout.

The rich-text editor used across templates and invoices has been replaced. Content pasted from Word is cleaned up automatically, so formatting stays consistent.

LEDES export can place fee discounts on a separate IF line. In the LEDES template settings, enable Export fee discounts as a separate IF line? when your client's billing format requires discounts as invoice-level adjustments rather than on the fee row.

UBL invoices include the firm name in the contact-name field, so recipients can match the invoice to your firm.

Improvements and reliability

Alongside the changes above, release 26.07 includes more than 60 fixes and reliability improvements across time tracking, invoicing, matters, reporting, and integrations. A few you may notice:

Running timers keep their accumulated time across a page reload.
Draft and invoiced hours stay consistent when time entries are moved.
Large invoices generate faster.
Invoice PDFs display accented and special characters correctly.
Invoice sections keep a consistent order, with more predictable rounding.
Global matter search responds to the Enter key on the refreshed pages.
Requests to external services (email delivery, NetDocuments, Fortnox, Exact Online, Company.info) retry automatically when a service is briefly unavailable, so fewer actions fail.
