Will we have stuff like version numbers and linking across lessons?

The current interface isn't bad, but this is much better.</p> I like the new look much better, it draws the eye to where the work needs to be done the majority of the time.

The reason we have gone with the darker colors on the sidebar and toolbar is to create more contrast between those areas and the content editing area.</p> David- Thanks for the feedback.

I like the existing blue and grey just fine, I think that the new darker colors are a little bit gloomy in overall tone. Just my opinion - other people may have their own ideas.</p> My comment is that I prefer the previous lighter color tones versus the new black color theme.

I would like to say that this piece of software has been great for creating step by step instructions. There is one request, I apologize in advance if you’ve already done it, and that is the ability to have two windows open at the same time.

Quite often I will be creating new instructions based on lessons I have created before and it would make life a lot easier if you could see both new and old lessons windows together.

With thanks, Sandra
