Upgrade from Xopus 3 to 4

Xopus 4 migration plan

Xopus 4 is compatible with Xopus 3.

If you have an upgrade subscription you can upgrade free of charge. If you don't have an upgrade subscription you can contact xopussupport@sdl.com for more informaton about upgrading your license.

Change Tracking

The change tracking in Xopus 4 can be configured to use the name of the editor. This configuration can be added as follows:

<x:javascript>Editor.ChangeTracking.setUserName("John Doe");</x:javascript>

Toolbar changes

In Xopus 3 deprecated.js could be used to call changeToolbarDefinition(). This file no longer exists, and with the first release of Xopus 4 it will not be possible to change the toolbar.

We are working on making this possible again, and with more flexibility.

subCanvasMode

This mode was available in combination with the use of IE's contentEditable, which made everything editable. It could be used to circumvent side effects when using layout CSS, like float, position and display. Because of the new custom cursor in Xopus 4, this mode is no longer needed.
