    The IBM DOORS 9.7 upgrade brings significant improvements in system performance, including:
      • Faster database and module loading times
      • Advanced filtering and Lock Age tracking for better usability
      • Auto-save functionality in full edit mode after a configurable time period
      • Read-only mode in edit or shareable edit mode when there's no activity for a determined time
