contentACCESS update guide
Overview
This document contains cumulative update notes for all contentACCESS versions. Before upgrading, carefully review all entries that apply to versions newer than your current installation, as they contain critical requirements, configuration changes, and breaking changes that may affect your deployment.
Update paths
✓ Update from version >v5.0
Direct upgrades are supported.
Platform & infrastructure requirements
Security & authentication changes
✓ Client application compatibility with new sign-in v7.2
The redesigned sign-in experience introduces protocol-level changes that affect how client applications authenticate. To ensure a smooth and uninterrupted sign-in experience, all client applications (officeGATE and contentACCESS Mobile) must be updated to version 7.2 or later before upgrading the server.
✓ Microsoft Graph permission required for SharePoint, OneDrive, and Teams archives v7.2
Starting with contentACCESS 7.2, the previously optional Microsoft Graph permission Files.ReadWrite.All is now required for SharePoint, OneDrive, and Teams archives.
If your Microsoft Entra application registration was created before contentACCESS 7.2, this permission may be missing. Verify your Entra application registration, add Files.ReadWrite.All, and grant admin consent for the new permission.
