Over the weekend, we upgraded the ReportingCloud [API endpoints](https://docs.reporting.cloud/docs/endpoint/) and the [portal](https://portal.reporting.cloud/) functionality to [TX Text Control X15](https://www.textcontrol.com/blog/2017/12/13/tx-text-control-x15-and-tx-spell-net-70-released/llms-full.txt). This upgrade brings all new features of TX Text Control X15 to ReportingCloud including background images (watermarks), pagination in tables and useful editor updates.

### Watermarks in Headers and Footers

A highly requested feature was content in headers and footers that overlaps the main text. This is typically used in letterhead templates to place the address in a text box on the side of the main text. This content is repeated on each page and is therefore part of the header or footer text part.

### Pagination in Tables

The pagination settings keep with next and page break before can now be used in tables to control page breaks within a table. The first paragraph of a table row determines how to treat the complete row. If the first paragraph of a table row has the keep with next setting, the complete table row is positioned on the same page like the following table row.

### Auto-Save in Template Editor

An auto-save feature has been implemented in the ReportingCloud portal template editor. If enabled, the document gets saved automatically periodically when changes have been made. This auto-save mode can be disabled in the file navigation bar at the top of the editor.

### API Keys for Authentication

We also [introduced API Keys](https://www.textcontrol.com/blog/2017/12/29/reportingcloud-introducing-api-keys/llms-full.txt) as a new authentication method to call the ReportingCloud API. An API Key is a token that a client provides when making API calls. Instead of sending your username and password using the Basic authentication, a created API Key token is used.

### Sharing Documents with ReportingCloud

We brought the [document sharing feature](https://www.textcontrol.com/blog/2017/10/05/sharing-documents-with-reportingcloud/llms-full.txt) to release state which enables developers to embed the ReportingCloud DocumentViewer using a lightweight widget into any website.

Try all of this on your own by creating a free test account and create documents and reports using ReportingCloud.
