Drumroll, please ...

#10. Full workspace preview of draft pages
Generate a link to allow preview of the full workspace for persons without a CMS account. A page preview link was available in the previous version, but was limited to one page at a time.  Learn how to generate a full workspace preview link

#9. Content elements can no longer be moved using “Drag and Drop”
Elements CAN be moved by clicking Up or Down buttons.  Learn how to move content elements

#8. User-defined startup option
Each author can decide which module automatically loads on login to the CMS.  No longer necessary to wait for successful login to select a module.  Learn how to select a startup module

#7. Tabbed editing
Options for creating/editing content elements in the Page module are now located on multiple tabs rather than in one long screen.  Less vertical scrolling is necessary

#6. Open and Recently Used Documents List
Click a menu to see a list of current open and recently used elements and select an item to quickly open for editing.  Learn about open and recently used documents

#5. Page Tree Filter
A text box at the top of the Page Tree allows you to enter a partial or full page title to quickly locate that page within the Page Tree.  Learn about the Page Tree filter

#4. Standard "working buttons" moved to the top of the screen where they are always visible
You no longer need to scroll to the top or bottom of the screen to access [Create new page, Reload the tree from server, Save document, Save document and view page, Close document, Save and close document, Delete, Logout, and the drop-down list button used to change workspaces] buttons

#3. NDSU "skin" (backend interface) no longer available
The backend looks different than it did in the previous version (users whose CMS accounts were created more than a year ago may not notice any change)

#2. Move pages to new locations in the Page Tree, even if a published version of the page already exists!
Learn how to move a page

#1. CMS backend login address changed
The login URLs for each site are listed at www.ndsu.edu/cms
