Improved Look and Feel

Our new splash screen now displays four icons signifying each of the quarterly releases offered by the ePublisher platform. As each new quarterly release gets updated, the associated marker icons will fill in notating that you are indeed on the most current version.
ePublisher Start Page
While the start page is not a new feature to ePublisher, you will notice the updated look and feel has also carried over. This more aesthetic accent to the start page is just the tip of the iceberg, however. The ePublisher start page offers users many beneficial points of access. At the top left, you will notice the “At A Glance” section, which offers users avenues to view new features added in the latest release, as well as portals to the WebWorks support system. Just below that, you will see the “Recent Projects” section, allowing users to quickly access their most recent projects or start up new projects. Finally, to the right is one of the most useful and often overlooked features of the ePublisher start page, the “News” section, which offers a current feed from the WebWorks blog. Throughout the year, WebWorks will offer an assortment of insightful articles dealing with both ePublisher and the technical writing industry. Keep an eye out here for insightful whitepapers, ePublisher tips and tricks, upcoming appearances by the WebWorks team, and other communications as we strive to help you grow above and beyond your competition.
