    Note 1: Note that hubs created after August 19, 2024 have all their projects connected to the File manager and only to the Next Gen Viewer.
    Note 2: When creating a project in a hub created before August 19, 2024, users can select from the following Project storage settings:

    • Viewer connected (recommended): Select the option to connect the specific project to the Viewer. Files are stored in the file manager and users have access to the Next Gen Viewer only.
    • Viewer unconnected (legacy): Select the option to continue using the legacy Viewer, only, and the files won’t be stored in the file manager. Users have access to the legacy and Next Gen Viewer.

    Important note: Users cannot modify this choice after the project has been created.
