Changes to Content Manager Explorer

This section describes changes to the Content Manager Explorer interface in SDL Tridion 2011.

Cross-browser support
The Content Manager Explorer in SDL Tridion 2011 runs on Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Apple ® Safari as well as Internet Explorer.
New interaction design
The user interface has been redesigned and has a new interaction model. For example, a Ribbon interface replaces toolbars and a more sophisticated Message Center replaces pop-ups used in the previous GUI which were considered intrusive.
Extensibility
The new Content Manager Explorer interface framework offers many ways to easily customize the Content Manager Explorer GUI such as adding controls and making the GUI interact with your own data using the Model framework.
