- Enhanced lifecycle management of Teamspaces including repurposing of key content (for both FileNet Content Manager and IBM Content Manager Enterprise Edition repositories)
- Promotion and discovery of documents using Likes and categorization of documents using Tags (for FileNet Content Manager)

| Description |
|
Content Navigator V2.0.3 includes the following enhancements to the Content Navigator user experience:
- Desktop synchronization with ECM systems; users can synchronize content between multiple devices to ensure that they have access to the most up-to-date content.
- Auto-locate checked-out documents and support for round-trip content editing across Content Navigator applications. When users update content, Content Navigator automatically knows where the most current content is, so they can still use multiple devices to edit or access their work.
- Creating and managing entry templates with integrated data layout editor helps to ensure that users can add the pertinent metadata to documents. It enables external data lookups and data validation so that the metadata fields values are kept consistent.
- HTML5-based viewing and annotating of content via (the bundled) IBM Daeja ViewONE Virtual viewer gives users a web-based viewer that requires no application installation to view and annotate ECM content.
- Browse, search, and work features for portal environments with focus on SharePoint web parts addressed the seamless integration of IBM ECM content and functions within a SharePoint or web portal environment.
- Ad hoc copy of content from FileNet Content Manager and IBM Content Foundation to SharePoint libraries enables users to easily move FileNet Content Manager and Content Foundation into web and collaboration tools such as SharePoint.
- Enhanced lifecycle management of teamspaces includes the repurposing key content to ensure that content doesn't end up in a digital landfill.
- Promotes rapid discovery and categorization of content via natural language locators such as Likes and Tags. This contextual view of content helps users quickly obtain bidirectional feedback on content, greatly improving the appropriate accessibility to content and, more importantly, its relevance.
In addition to supporting IBM Core ECM repositories this release of IBM Content Navigator supports collaboration tools such as IBM Connections V5.0 and SharePoint as well as any CMIS-compliant content repository.

| Statement of good security practices |
|
IT system security involves protecting systems and information through prevention, detection, and response to improper access from within and outside your enterprise. Improper access can result in information being altered, destroyed, or misappropriated or can result in misuse of your systems to attack others. Without a comprehensive approach to security, no IT system or product should be considered completely secure and no single product or security measure can be completely effective in preventing improper access. IBM systems and products are designed to be part of a comprehensive security approach, which will necessarily involve additional operational procedures, and may require other systems, products, or services to be most effective. IBM does not warrant that systems and products are immune from the malicious or illegal conduct of any party.
