- Helpful tips and text have been added to built-in forms to improve usability.
- User-defined help and tips can be defined for each content type fields. When help is defined for a field, a new help icon appears to the right of the field, which can be clicked to display the help below the field.
- Content record history improved to display notes about selected version.
- Text boxes and list can now be vertically resized dynamically.
- File upload fields now look similar to other fields and look more consistently across web browsers.
- New preview and publish button drop-downs simplify the interface and allow user's to specify preferred publications and destinations to minimize repetitive mouse clicks.
- Inactive interface areas are shaded to highlight rich-text editor and action button dialogs and improve usabily.
- Custom themes (aka skins) may be defined to customize the user interface globally and/or according to a per-user preference.
- Publication Distributions are now called Destinations to improve clarity.
