Introduction

This section outlines changes to the Introduction manual arising from changes made to Synergetic (versions 65.19-66.01).

Note: The look and feel of Synergetic depends on the PC it is running on. The screenshots in this manual use both the version 66 and pre-66 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.
