Comparing the ribbon with earlier versions

 

Since version 16.11, we have reorganized items on the ribbon into new, logical groupings on new tabs.

If you were familiar with the ribbon in earlier versions, you may find the table below will help you to navigate to windows, tools, and options from new positions on the ribbon. The table lists the significant differences in the ribbon compared with previous versions. 

* Items marked with an asterisk are available only in the CORE Estimating product. They are not available in Estimating Essential.

Note: If you are new to Sage Estimating or you want a comprehensive list of items available on each tab, use the Learn more links.
