What to Expect:
| Before the Upgrade | After the Upgrade |
|---|---|
| The look and functionality of the current public site. | No changes. |
| When signed in as a user the "Go To" and "Manage" drop down buttons are on the right. | "Go To" and "Manage" will now be on the left. When signed in as a user, you will see a “slider” menu button on the left (example below). Click this to access "Go To" and "Manage." |
| “My Page,” “Account,” etc. is on the right. | No changes. |
As you can see, most of the changes will only affect users who access the site as administrators (those who manage more pages/areas in the site, such as partners and country coordinators).
The look and feel of the content management system will also have some placement and cosmetic changes.
