# October 2022 Release Roundup
PDF to .docx conversion, User Status in Finalize for Word & Sortable Parent-Child Hierarchy
With year-end approaching, we know it’s a hectic time. We’re here to help you work more effectively, not slow you down. Quickly and confidently find, convert, and revise your agreements with these recent enhancements to the LinkSquares platform.
## Download PDFs from Finalize into .docx format to easily revise and compare agreements
The counterparty sent the contract draft as a PDF? No problem—you can quickly convert and download a digital PDF in .docx format to redline the contract or compare documents in Microsoft Word.
*[PDF to .docx Conversion:](https://linksquares.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/9330479583895-Converting-PDFs-to-Docx-Files)* Now available for Finalize customers
## Get an at-a-glance view of who's working on a document—whether you're working online or on your desktop.
Your entire team is often working on important agreements at the same time. However, when you can't see who else is editing the document it can lead to an accidental overwriting of someone else’s work.
Without leaving Microsoft Word, you can now see who is actively working on an agreement, so you can confidently make your redlines and keep your agreements moving.
[User Status: Now available in Finalize for Word, our Microsoft Word integration.](https://linksquares.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/9009653749783-LinkSquares-Finalize-for-Microsoft-Word-User-Status-Beacon)
## Eliminate the endless scroll—sort linked agreements to find the right agreement fast.
Parent-child hierarchies are an efficient way to surface and group related agreements, but high volumes of linked agreements can bog you down, making it difficult to find the specific amendments or work orders that you may need.
Quickly find the agreement you’re looking for by sorting linked agreements in alphabetical order or by upload date.
*[Sortable Parent-Child Hierarchies](https://linksquares.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360001667173-Parent-Child-Hierarchy-):* Now available for Analyze customers
