Important content changes
Blog functionality
Blog and discussion entries do not carry over to BlueSpice 5. You need to start new blogs and discussions. If you used these features extensively in previous versions, talk to your project manager before updating your system to discuss possible migration scenarios.
PDF templates (cloud edition only)
Make sure to read the documentation on how to copy your template customization to the new template pages. Your customization will still work in BlueSpice 5 after moving it to the new pages. In addition, you now have much more flexibility by adding multiple templates for different exports.
