[Pro] Upgrading FW

Just wanted some wee advice on upgrading (it’s imminent!)

I’m on FW 3.5.1.5 at the moment, but could do with a summary of the main feature upgrades in 4 and 5.

Also can I go straight to 5 from 3?

One of the key motivations for upgrade may be (possibly) a collaborative effort between a client and myself. And in that respect one of the key questions they are asking, and which I don’t know if FW is capable of, is multi-teamwork, if that’s the right word? ie. if someone works on a master file, anyone else who comes to work on it sees the recent changes or gets to work on the most updated version. I think Dreamweaver does something like this? Client seems to think so.

The alternative must-have, if the above isn’t possible, is decent importation of html files. I’ve never done much of it but may have to, and from what I recall in earlier versions, FW wasn’t much good at it.

Better CSS and menu creation and all that stuff? I’m sure it’s there and I take it for granted!

Any other pointers useful, thanks.

Hi there

I found taking my sites from v3 to v5 didn’t work as well as going via v4. However there was still a lot of tidying-up to be done afterwards and I still have one site only partially converted.

All the best
