What's New
See the Nintex Automation Release Notes for important information relating to installation.
New Features
- SharePoint
- Nintex Automation for SharePoint app:
- From Nintex Automation (5.7) onwards there are two different apps for SharePoint. The legacy Nintex K2 for SharePoint: used for SharePoint on-premises and upgraded environments for SharePoint Online, and Nintex Automation for SharePoint: used on new installations for SharePoint Online.
- Existing customers upgrading to Nintex Automation (5.7) use the legacy app from the SharePoint App Catalog for all SharePoint environments. New installations of Nintex Automation use the legacy app from the SharePoint App Catalog for SharePoint on-premises, and the new Nintex Automation for SharePoint app (SPFx) for SharePoint Online.
Behavioral Changes
-
Silverlight is not supported.
-
From Nintex Automation (5.7) onwards, the legacy client tools (K2 Studio, K2 Designer for Visual Studio) are now available in the main installer. You can now use one installer to upgrade all your components.
- The following dependencies are required. If the dependency is not installed, the Setup Manager will block installation and prompt you to download an install the dependency, then continue:
- .NET Core Hosting and Runtime Bundle 6.0.1
- Microsoft Visual C++ 2019 Redistributable
Important Considerations
-
SharePoint integration - See Nintex Automation for SharePoint app overview for considerations when using the legacy Nintex K2 for SharePoint app and the new app.
-
If you manually configured K2 integration with AAD, you need to configure the Identity URI in Azure as a redirect URI. See the topic Step 2 - Create an App in AAD for your K2 site and gather information for information on how to do this.
