We're thrilled to announce the launch of the Modern DOCX templating engine in Plumsail Documents! The Modern engine offers everything the Classic engine does, plus much more, making it easier to work with complex documents.
Key improvements
- Data transformation: Easily modify your data within templates, without the need for pre-processing.
- Conditional content: Significantly improved logic for hiding or displaying document blocks based on data conditions—no more workarounds for complex cases!
- Value manipulation: Advanced functions to format, calculate, and manipulate data.
- Simplified syntax: A cleaner, more intuitive syntax to manage complex templates.
Currently, the Modern engine is available in Processes, and you can enable it under Template Settings by selecting Modern from the dropdown.
Support for it will soon be added to all document creation actions on Power Automate, Zapier, and Make.com. Stay tuned!
Classic engine remains in place
Don't worry—the Classic engine will still be fully maintained and continue working as usual, so nothing will break.
Why switch?
If you're building new projects or need more flexibility with data transformations and conditional content, the Modern engine is the way to go. Check out our documentation for details on the differences between the Modern and Classic engines.
