About the patch

As part of our ongoing focus on maintaining the highest security standards and best practices in our products and services, we would like to bring to your attention a critical patch release for ABBYY FlexiCapture 12, specifically for Release 4 Update 2 and Update 3. This update is essential for workflows integrating with Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft SharePoint via OAuth for document import and/or export. 

This patch addresses the necessity of updating the Application ID and enabling the configurability and systematic rotation of OAuth secrets. It is imperative for maintaining the functionality of your workflows that connect to Microsoft Outlook and SharePoint.

Rest assured that the deployment of this patch to the corresponding compatible product version will in no way affect document processing in terms of performance or quality of extraction.
