Installing CCH iXBRL Review & Tag 2025.1
This release is installed using the Central Suite Installer. This ensures that all prerequisites are in place and that all the products for which you are licenced are installed in the correct sequence. Click here to learn about the Central Suite Installer.
If you have installed Review & Tag on workstations, these are automatically updated the first time that you launch the workstation instance of the software while connected to the network. Please refer to the CSI installation instructions for more information.
For non CCH Central Sites
If you are not a Central user you should use the standalone installer. This needs to be run on each computer on which CCH iXBRL Review & Tag is installed. Please refer to the separate installation instructions for details.
Microsoft Prerequisites: Please note that the standalone installation requires the following Microsoft components to be present:
- Microsoft .NET Framework 4.8 - for further information click here to go to our Knowledge Base FAQ article
Quality Improvements
CCH Review and Tag
ADO 372970 - Tagged figures or text can be omitted from bullet points
Figures and text that are tagged may be omitted when the report is exported as a file for submission which converts it to HTML. If you Validate the HTML file, you may see the error “The ix:nonFraction element has an empty string as its child node...” It doesn't tell you where there error is, but if you check the HTML in a browser you'll see tagged items in bulleted lists are missing.
ADO 372970 - 2 bullet points shown instead of 1
On the same test as previously, you may see that some bullet points are shown as double bullet points. A second smaller bullet point is added after the first one.
ADO 269123 - Out of Memory error loading a large Word document
This error occurs when a Word document contains many images or a few large images. Within the Word document, images are stored in the compact JPG format. But when the file is opened in Review and Tag the images are converted to high resolution bitmaps which are much larger. For instance a 200 KB JPG can expand to a 500 MB bitmap which is roughly a full page image. This can easily cause an Out of Memory error. We now monitor the size of images as they are expanded for viewing. If the total size of the expanded images exceeds 750 MB, then the system switches to expanding them at a lower resolution, including those already expanded. This uses much less memory.
ADO 377062 - Remove FileFormatConverters.exe references from the standalone R&T installer
This file has a security vulnerability. It was used to read old .doc and .xls files into Review and Tag. Removing it means that these old file types can no longer be read. If you encounter one of these files, it can be converted into a modern .docx or .xlsx file by opening it in Word or Excel and resaving it.
PLEASE NOTE
The Standalone release does contain the 2025 taxonomies.
It is NOT reccommended that these be used until the 2025.2 release.

Online Filing Configuration
Following the migration of the CCH iXBRL Review and Tag licence to sit within CCH Central in the 2022.1 release, some customers received an error message when attempting to click on the hyperlinked filing status:
After re-entering the credentials the message persisted. We advised users to restart Central as the cache still retained the old data.
We have now added a warning message so that when a change is made to the iXBRL Settings advising that Central needs to be restarted:
Note: The warning message ONLY appears if CCH Central or CCH iXBRL Review and Tag are open when the changes are made.
Licence Count Warning Message
Following the upgrade to 2022.1 Customers licensed for CCH iXBRL Review and Tag but not for Online Filing were receiving one of the following messages:
- CCH iXBRL Review & Tag all current Companies House submissions have been used and you will not be able to make any further submissions. Please contact your account manager to discuss any additional licenses.
- CCH iXBRL Review & Tag only xxx Companies House submissions are left and you will not be able to make any further submissions when these have expired. Please contact your account manager to discuss any additional licenses.
Note: These messages only appear for customers licensed for online filing.
Information message appearing every time on launching R&T
Following the upgrade to 2022.1, after updating pin for other products, Customers were receiving the following Information message every time CCH iXBRL Review & Tag was launched:
This message only appears when R&T is launched for the first time after updating pin in CCH Central.
Restart Central and R&T desktop application on any credential change
In the 2022.1 release, users reported that the cache still held details in memory after changing any CCH iXBRL Review & Tag Settings; we advised users to restart CCH Central. We now provide an information message, advising to restart both CCH Central and CCH iXBRL Review & Tag when settings have been changed.
