  - Enabling QR codes for joining online meetings
    Add the notes.ini setting VOP_GK_FEATURE_209=1 to the server notes.ini file to allow users to use QR codes to join online meetings.
  - Enabling dynamic online meeting services
    Beginning with Verse 3.2.1, administrators can apply a notes.ini setting to control the meeting services that are available for users to schedule dynamic online meetings.
  - Enabling integration of forwarding addresses
    When a person has a forwarding address – used to deliver mail to an external address – the person's forwarding address and primary directory address can both be shown.
  - Controlling the concurrent iCalendar imports allowed
    Use the server notes.ini setting VOP_ConCurr_Upload_iCal to control the number of iCalendars that can be imported concurrently into users' Verse calendars. By default, 30 concurrent imports are allowed.
  - Enabling file preview using Domino File Viewer
    Starting from HCL Verse 3.1 users now have the ability to preview file attachments in emails using the Domino File Viewer option. This functionality is made possible by the Domino Access Service called transmute. This is a good option for previewing attachments when Connections is not integrated.
  - Enabling advanced Modify on Send extension
    HCL Verse 3.2.2 allows the Modify on Send extension to modify the body of a mail.
- notes.ini settings
  For a complete list of notes.ini settings available to use in Verse, see the Support article https://support.hcltechsw.com/csm?id=kb_article&sysparm_article=KB0077185.
- Uninstalling
  If you need to uninstall Verse™ application files, simply stop the Domino server, remove the Verse .jar files, and then restart the Domino server.

Reverting to the earlier calendar event design

Important: Beginning with HCL Verse 3.2.3, iNotes event form will be End of Support. For more information, see Deprecating the iNotes event form in HCL Verse 3.2.3.

Use the notes.ini setting VOP_GK_FEATURE_168=0 on the Domino server to disable the new calendar event design and revert to the earlier event design.

The new calendar event design is on by default as of HCL Verse 2.0.
