PRESS RELEASE 13th December 2023
OpenProject 13.1: Share work packages with external users, OneDrive/SharePoint integration, and new dynamic meetings.

Berlin, December 13 2023 – Version 13.1 of the web-based open source project management software OpenProject announce the release of exciting new features to enhance collaboration, accessibility, and integration capabilities.

The key features in OpenProject 13.1 include:

Link work packages with files and folders in OneDrive/SharePoint: Enhanced file management is now possible with the ability to link work packages directly to files and folders in OneDrive/SharePoint. This integration simplifies document handling and fosters a more organized workflow. Users who are still in the Microsoft world for file management can now easily upload and link files and folders from work packages in OpenProject to their external file storage. Enabling them to use an open source software for project management and still managing their files with OneDrive/SharePoint.
Share work packages with external users and groups: Users can now seamlessly collaborate by sharing work packages with external users and groups that are not member of a project. This feature promotes a more efficient project management process and sharing of information with stakeholders.
Dynamic meetings and agenda items linked to work packages: OpenProject introduces dynamic meetings and agenda items linked to work packages. This integration streamlines the collaborative preparation of meetings. It ensures that meetings and corresponding decisions or tasks are directly linked to work packages in a project, making it easier to follow up.
Accessibility tests and improvements (WCAG 2.1 AA): OpenProject prioritizes inclusivity with a comprehensive accessibility test and improvements according to WCAG 2.1 AA standards. These efforts were part of the openDesk - The Sovereign Workplace project and include the introduction of a high-contrast mode for OpenProject that improves accessibility for visually impaired users.
Publish custom help texts to Community edition: OpenProject publishes the attribute help texts to the free-of-charge Community edition, making essential guidance more accessible to a broader user base.

Niels Lindenthal, CEO of OpenProject GmbH, expressed his enthusiasm for the release:
