Brief Overview of changes?

[BevS97]

Is there a brief overview of the new features in v8. I'd like to discuss this with my boss to see if we need to upgrade, but I need to be able to show her what benefits we will be getting. Our site is quite heavily customised so I am expecting the upgrade won't be an easy process, so we really need to evaluate the benefits vs the pain.

Checkout Actinics website and read through the threads as you will see we are all learning what they are.

Download the Beta and import a snapshot to see how it may affect your site.

I'm reading the pdf file listed, but I would have thought a summary document would have been produced advertising the new features.

You have as much as is available then. Its too early for most people to fully understand the software as it is so different to V7, it will be many many months before people are able to give in depth answers to questions.

The most immediate benefit is the inclusion of

best sellers list
others also bought these items
you may also like these items
marketing tools

.. IMHO these alone are worth the upgrade ... anything to help upsell additional products

There is a summary list of all the new feature in the release notes

look in C:\Program Files\Actinic v8\Release Notes.doc
