This section outlines changes to the Development manual arising from changes made to Synergetic (versions 64.13-65.19).
Note: The look and feel of Synergetic depends on the PC it is running on. The screenshots in this manual use both the version 65 and pre-65 look and feel. You may notice a slight difference in appearance between this manual and Synergetic running at your organisation but the functionality is exactly the same.
