Activation options for all users:

  • Select Activate for all if you want all users to work in the new Multicolumn Editor. Note that using this option, your users will not have the possibility to switch back to the classic editor at their convenience. For more flexibility, select the option Let users choose.

  • Select Disable for all if you prefer working with the classic editor.

  • Select Let users choose (recommended) to give your team the possibility to get familiar with the new environment while allowing them to access the classic Editor if needed.
The classic Editor has been discontinued on 1 January 2019 and replaced by the Multicolumn Editor. If you decide to keep working with the classic Editor, it is at your own risk! Note that fixes and new features will only be available in the most recent version of the CAT tool.
