Feature	Type of Change	Description
Adobe Offline Forms Usage	New	Business Process Management (BPM) enables you to integrate Adobe forms in your business process by wrapping them in offline tasks at design time. Forms are then sent as a PDF attachment in an e-mail message sent to potential owners of the offline task. At runtime, the actual owner of the offline task submits the form as a PDF attachment through e-mail back to the BPM framework. For more information, see Using Adobe Offline Forms.
Task Execution	Enhanced	The BPM framework now has enhanced task execution user interface, where: You can now share your task with other users, so that they can contribute and give input to task execution.
