New features
WebPlus X8 (in 32 and 64-bit versions) introduces even greater ease of
use, more design tools, new features for photos, and more advanced
editing power.
• Interactive Task Monitor Tab (see p. 154)
The tab acts as a personal design assistant that keeps track of
your project and fixes design issues for you. It knows about the
state of objects, pages and the site all the time, and can warn
about potential problems, remind you to accomplish certain
tasks, offer hints, and list issues from the last time a site was
published. You can also add your own reminders.
• Online Resource Manager (see p. 114)
Instead of linking large files from your computer and
publishing them with your site, the new online resource
manager lets you upload media and other files to a remote
server. It remembers the addresses of the files, and makes them
available when you are choosing resources while designing your
site. This allows you to upload once and use repeatedly, and to
host large files on a different server from your website without
complications.
