Are there new boxes in version 2?

Yes! Look at the boxes below. You can create a tabbed box or a gallery box. Also, some of the types of boxes that you could create in version 1, are a little easier to do with version 2!

A tabbed Box

Present different information, images, videos, etc. in each Tab (check out the Tips and Tricks section to learn how to add images to your Libguides and create a Gallery box).

Like in this tabbed box displaying images of New York.

The Woolworth Building.

CMS?

The CMS upgrade is not included in the central subscription. If you want CMS, your library will have to pay extra for that--however, the CUNY price is $900 (the usual price is $1100).
