The Dashboard

Cascade version 8 now directs users to a dashboard containing an overview of their sites. If a user has a default site selected, it will not default to navigating into that site. Instead, data and content from the default site will populate the widgets on your dashboard.

Asset View Name Changed

Some might have noticed that the asset names may have changed after the upgrade. However, the file name did stay the same. With the version 8 upgrade, assets then displayed the Display Name or Title found in the metadata instead of the file or container name. If you prefer the old naming styles, select your profile avatar from the top-right navigation bar, then select Settings. From there, locate the Appearance of Asset Links section and uncheck the corresponding checkbox. Be sure to select submit after making the change.
