The Dispatcher is a program that must be installed on each computer on which you wish to use the Lucanet Disclosure Management solution. Lucanet Disclosure Management does not work without the Dispatcher.
Ribbons are menu ribbons or multifunctional bars for applications that combine menu control, toolbars, and dialogs. You will need to install these ribbons if you want to use Lucanet Disclosure Management in your locally installed copies of the Office programs MS Word and MS Excel.
Both the Dispatcher and the Ribbons are updated regularly. Whenever an update is available, you will be informed automatically once you open an MS Office document in Lucanet Disclosure Management.
After installation, the Dispatcher is displayed as an icon in the MS Windows system tray. You will receive a message as soon as the Dispatcher is running and as soon as you open an MS Office file. You can stop the Dispatcher and view the log via the context menu of the icon in the system tray:

If you currently have installed Ribbons with the version 25.08 or older, you have to uninstall the Ribbons in Programs & Apps and delete the two installation directories under C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Roaming\DisclosureManagementExcelAddIn and **C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Roaming\DisclosureManagementWordAddIn**, first.
After completing these steps, you can reinstall the Ribbons with the latest version.
Opening an MS Office document from Disclosure Management automatically performs a software check for the latest version of the Dispatcher and Ribbons. If a later version is available, the system displays a corresponding note and a link to the page where the latest version can be downloaded.
