TeamSideline organizations may use one of two different Content management experiences depending on when their website was created:
- Legacy Content Module – The original Content management system.
- Content Module (CMS / Editor 2.0) – The current website editor experience.
The navigation paths and available options are different between these two systems. When following TeamSideline documentation, make sure you are using the instructions that match your organization's Content module.
Legacy Content Module Sunset
The Legacy Content Module is being sunset and will be replaced by the newer Content Module (CMS / Editor 2.0).
As part of this transition:
- No new features, upgrades, or enhancements will be made to the Legacy Content Module.
- Adjustments to Legacy Editor functionality are limited to critical issues only.
- Organizations using the Legacy Content Module should begin the process of upgrading to the new editor experience.
