How to add the WebDAV URL in AppConfig

If you have a License Key for one of our volume licensing products, Goodnotes for Business, Goodnotes for School or Goodnotes for Enterprise, you can now enjoy a brand new Auto Backup feature with WebDAV!

If you would like to set the WebDAV host URL and/or destination folder on behalf of your end users in their devices when using WebDAV as a backup option, you need to make some changes in AppConfig.

The essential step is to add the ConfigurableFeatures dict to your Managed App Configuration and include either one of the following keys (or all of them if you choose to do so):

<key>WebDAVHostURL</key>
<string>https://example.com</string>
<key>WebDAVDestinationFolder</key>
<string>ExampleFolder/ExampleSubfolder</string>

For example, your own configuration will look something like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
  <key>LicenseKey</key>
  <string>AAAAAA-BBBBBB-CCCCCC-DDDDDD-123456-V3</string>
  <key>ConfigurableFeatures</key>
  <dict>
      <key>WebDAVHostURL</key>
      <string>https://example.com</string>
  </dict>
</dict>
</plist>

Note: If the folder used for Auto Backup on the WebDAV server is accessible to multiple users, ensure that no other user has selected the same folder for Auto Backup.

Additionally, if you'd like to set a warning for your users to ensure their data is being backed up on your new WebDAV setup, see here for how to set a Reminder to Enable Auto Backup and keep your user data safe.
