New Features
Site Maps:
An enhancement has been introduced to allow Workbench to provide clients with standard sitemap profiles, and also allow Admin users to hide menu items if they do not want them included.
The advantage of this is that clients will not need a custom sitemap (in most cases), and allows Workbench to release any new menu items or modules to be added to these sitemaps, which means that clients will not miss out on new functionality.
A new checkbox column has been added next to each sitemap item when editing a Site map Profile. Ticking it will always hide the menu item, regardless of the licence of the users. The standard licence verification still applies.
