This document is primarily for users who knows how /clients that has expirence with the previous worksversion. Here we will give an overview of the big differences between this version (DFS 11) and the previews version (DFS 10.x).
UI changes
...
...
One of the big changes is that we change the way you browse and search for assets. In the old version we has a DAM Explorer. This was build in Sitecore and part of the connectors codebase. In the version we use an Iframe and load the embedded Media Manger from Digizuite DAM. By doing this we could remove alot of the codebase from the connector. We could also remove alot of the required configuration which was synchronized as items. The content area Sitecore → System → Modules → Digizuite → MetaDataRoot, has been removed as it’s no longer needed.

Synchronization
In the previous version it was required to do a full synchronization of all the configuration and assets, before you could start using the connector. Because of the new embedded UI, we no longer need all the configuration and assets to be synchronized upfront. We have changed it to a more ondemand approach. By this we mean, when you add an asset to a field, we will check if the asset has been synchronized to the Asset silo, /sitecore/media library/Digizuite/Assets. If not we then sync the asset from Digizuite.
