What’s New

Athennian AI – Initialize & Centralize

  • Best Practices Tooltip
    A tooltip now appears when uploading documents, highlighting the recommended document template formats to ensure optimal AI accuracy in both Initialize and Centralize.

  • Auto-Populate for Entity/Person Creation
    In the "Select Entity/Person" modal, clicking + Add now opens the “New Entity” or “New Person” modal with the Name field prefilled using the search input.

Companies House

  • AD01 Filing Support
    Athennian now supports the AD01 - Change of Registered Office Address form.
    This can be triggered via a Change of Shared Address task or Change of Profile Address task. Refer to the relevant article for a step-by-step guide: Companies House: AD01 - Change of Registered Office Address.

Debt Management

  • Clearer XLSX Exports
    • Loans Issued / Loans Received: Improved data output and structure.
    • Transactions Export: When exporting “All Loans”, the loan name now appears for better reference.
  • Loan Status Editing
    Users can now update a loan’s status to Active, Pending, or Cancelled using the Administrative Edit toggle.
    Note: Elapsed statuses cannot be modified.

  • Loan Format Updates
    Loan amounts now display with comma separators and no decimal places for improved readability in the Loans table.

  • Draw Transaction Validation
    The Draw input now:
    • Only accepts numeric values
    • Prevents duplicate draw numbers within the same loan record

What’s Fixed

AI Initialize

  • Entity Creation Errors
    If Initialize cannot create a part of an entity, a toaster message now explains what failed.
    On success, only a clear “New Entity Created” message is shown.

  • Multi-Document Uploads
    When uploading multiple documents, any detected transactions are now automatically shown in the Transactions tab, helping speed up and improve entity creation.

  • Jurisdiction Display
    Once an entity is created, the Jurisdiction field now correctly appears in the Review page.

  • Review Modal Clarity
    Only the information used in the entity creation is shown in the Review modal, and the entity is marked as Created“.

AI Centralize

  • Improved Document Name Sorting
    Sorting by document name now handles upper/lowercase combinations more predictably.

  • Timezone-Accurate Filtering
    The “Submitted Range” filter now respects your local time, ensuring accurate filtering even when different from UTC.

  • Accurate Pagination
    When using the "Items Per Page" setting:
    • The document list now displays the correct number of items per page
    • Paging through results works as expected (e.g., 5 per page shows 5 results consistently)
    • Centralize now loads faster by defaulting to 20 documents per page.
    • Centralize will display a load bar and a toaster message as it’s loading the document list to clearly communicate when things need a little more time to process.
  • Emailed Document Statuses
    Documents sent via email to Centralize now correctly display a Pending status, instead of an error.

  • Entity Name Matching Enhancements
    • Abbreviations and suffixes no longer disrupt name matching
    • Entity names with leading numbers are correctly detected and suggested
  • Principal Suggestions
    Centralize now suggests only the relevant Principal from the current pending upload—avoiding incorrect carryover from previous uploads.

  • Document Filed without User Confirmation
    Centralize will no longer accidentally file certain documents to entities without the user confirming they’d like to file. 

Debt

  • Transaction Exports
    When exporting debt transactions, Cap Managed transaction Draw is N/A and doesn’t cause Draw numbers to skip

Access

  • User Type Update
    Any user profile with an Administrator role can be downgraded/updated to another role (i.e. Office-Admin) without issue.

New Experience

  • Entity Overview
    When updating the Maximum Number of Directors to Unlimited in the Governance > Articles section, the update shows correctly as “Max # of Directors: Unlimited” on the Overview in the New Experience.
