=== Upgrading from Silverlight version of Woodford === | |||
The former standalone version of Woodford based on Microsoft Silverlight technology is no longer supported or updated. Instead, use Woodford HTML, a web-based tool. From the user's perspective, the main benefits of the new version are: | |||
* Speed: You no longer need to load the entire project to work with its parts (views, forms). | |||
* Collaboration: HTML Woodford supports collaboration directly. More users can work on different parts of the same project. | |||
* Access: Woodford is now accessible from any modern [[browser]]. We recommend Google Chrome, but you can now even try from Apple computers (or even on mobile devices, despite the user experience is not great yet). | |||
* Projects are no longer stored as note attachments, so bulk delete of attachments, or using Azure Blob Store plugins are no longer an issue. | |||
The transition between Woodford Silverlight and HTML should be smooth, there are no known issues with HTML Woodford. | |||
# Upgrade the Woodford solution as described above. | |||
# Just like for any regular upgrades, we recommend exporting all projects for backup. | |||
# When you open a project in Woodford HTML for the first time, the project is upgraded to use a new format. Remember to save all changes and publish the project. | |||
