*** New in FirstSpirit Version 5.0 ***
With FirstSpirit 5.0 a range of functional innovations and improvements has been implemented. The main focus is on “Usability”, which is reflected in particular in the fully redesigned WebClient, but also in the revised JavaClient. With new design and new functionality, Content Management is even more fun now!
But not only User Experience in the back end has been further improved – also functions for example for online marketing and easy cross-project reuse of content have been realized.
All new functions in FirstSpirit 5.0 and modifications are listed and described in detail in the FirstSpirit Release Notes:
