EasyEdit2 overview

The EasyEdit2 desktop app now merges together both the Local edit and the UpFolder tools:

Local edit changes the way files are edited and documented in Labguru. With this tool, all types of files can be opened directly from Labguru, given that the relevant software for opening them is installed on your computer.

To learn more about 'Local edit' click here.

Another powerful tool available is the UpFolder, it is great for automatically uploading documents from your lab instruments and computers to your Labguru account. You can create a folder on your computer and on an instrument's computer, and any files created or moved into this folder will be automatically uploaded to your Labguru account.

EasyEdit2 is available starting with version 6.2.21.
