Documentation teams rely on critical information and feedback from Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) and other review teams across your enterprise to ensure the accuracy and quality of the product and service information they produce. In order to support the collaboration with these teams throughout the content production process, authors spend countless hours manually converting, merging and copying information to and from various formats into their structured content environment. These iterative and error-prone processes create a significant burden on both the authors and the collaborators.
With the NEW Arbortext Web Editor and Arbortext Web Reviewer, users are provided with an intuitive user interface that captures and manages XML behind the scenes. Accessible via a browser, these tools make it easy for contributors to quickly and effectively collaborate with the documentation team. All aspects of the content production process can be streamlined by removing the need for manual conversions and iterative reviews. For those contributors already using Windchill for content management the collaboration process is made even easier.

New Strategy for PTC ECAD Windchill Workgroup Manager
PTC and the Windchill segment recently announced a new strategy for our ECAD Workgroup Managers that included the formal retirement of the PTC ECAD Windchill Workgroup Manager products.
PTC is working directly with our ECAD partners on the next generation of Windchill – ECAD integration options, of which Altium and xPLM have production-ready versions today:
In support of that, and to ensure your existing data is compatible, they are each developing a migration path to replace your existing ECAD integrations with their equivalent products.
Beginning with the Windchill 11.2.0.0 release (from June 2019), PTC will not be shipping the ECAD integrations (Windchill Workgroup Managers for Cadence, Altium, Zuken and Mentor-based products and the Windchill Gateway for Cadence ADW).
The current ECAD integrations will continue to be supported through the planned end-of-support dates for the respective Windchill releases. For example, ECAD integrations released with Windchill 11.1 M020 will continue to be supported until January 2022.
During this time, support for the current ECAD integration will be limited to 1) Critical SPRs and bug fixes and 2) New ECAD vendor versions. PTC will not plan to deliver any feature enhancements or add support for newly introduced products from the ECAD vendors.
Please feel free to contact your local PTC Support representative or Ruediger Scholz, Senior Product Manager, PLM segment (rscholz@ptc.com) if you have any questions or concerns.
For more details, on the Windchill release support timelines, please refer to the PTC Product Calendar. For more information regarding this update or for contact information for each partner, refer to these support articles: CS298492 , CS302844
