In order to use the new features, you will need to update permissions. Reference the feature documentation to know which permissions are required. You can update permissions by either assigning some of the Standard Roles to your staff (Read Documentation), or you can manually add the permissions to existing Custom Roles. (Read Documentation)

Note: the Documents permissions structure is complex, and we do not recommend adding them to Custom Roles. Instead, assign your staff to the appropriate Documents roles.
