New DocuWare UI
I tried the new DocuWare UI this morning, Oct 23, 2026. There is way too wasted space at the top of the browser that the document viewing window is now the bottom 1/4 of the screen. Most of my users have the browser zoom on too, so be mindful of that as well. My feedback would be for a Document Management application, the viewing window HAS to stay the full right side of the window. It seems like more clicks to jump from tab to tab, where as before you could go right from your tray to a specific search or list.

Not fun hearing my clients tell me that leaving DocuWare is an option if this new interface is forced on them. The thoughts on this ticket are common things to hear, and only compounded by so many small features that are daily drivers for people not being there at all. At its best the new interface requires more clicks to do something, but at its worst core ways that DocuWare works aren't carried over and these are deal breakers for the users. Sure, add cool new things to the new interface. Things we haven't had before. Awesome. But for the love of all that is good in the world carry over everything from the old client. I feel like there would be very few features, functions, capabilities and general modes of operation in the old client that should not come over.

I could not agree more. Under these conditions I am expecting a change or I'll consider to stop using DocuWare as it became really unusable the way it is. Here are two screenshots showing the proportions of the display.
