Ever Wondered What's New in Sage X3?

2 minute read time.

Thinking  of upgrading but not sure what's changed?  Want to find out all the fun new items are in your version of Sage X3?  Let's explore where you can find that information.

 There are a couple different places to find information about what's new in Sage X3.  The first place to look is Online Help.  As long as you are running V7 or higher, you have access to the Online Help.  The link is found at the top of Sage X3 but depending on the version it could be on the left or right side and it's designated by a question mark.

Once you are in Online Help, click on What's New.

Here you will find the release notes for the most recent version or patch of Sage X3.  You will also find information the developers thought would be useful to know.  When you click on Release Notes, you will see new information as well as changes made in each area of Sage X3.

Just choose if you want to see the New items or Changes.  The modules on the left will jump you to the right section in the document or you can just scroll through the list.  You can also look at previous releases by clicking on the version at the top and choosing from the drop down menu.  Although, you can only see information for the current major version of Sage X3.

At the bottom left corner you will find links to some more technical data in the Application readme and Component readme.

There is a lot of information in Online help, so take a look, you never know what you may learn.

So we've gone over the wonders of Online help, now let's take a look at the knowledgebase.  Yes, I know, we always ask if you have searched the knowledgebase but there really is a lot of good information in there.  If you search the Sage X3 Knowledgebase for X3 download portal, you will find more information that just downloads.  We also include documentation about the version or patch.  You can get to the Sage Knowledgebase by going to https://support.na.sage.com.  (You will need to log in to get full access and be able to see the download documents.)

Log into the Sage Knowledgebase and search for x3 download portal or KB #23522 then choose the version you are interested in.  Let's say I want to know about version 12 patch 19.  I will click on version 12 below Installation Updates.  Then choose Download Sage X3 12.0.19 and Patch 19 Add-on Updates.

At the bottom of that knowledgebase article, you will find several attached documents.  The two readmes that were in Online help are attached.  Also, there are installation guides and release notes available for download.

Hopefully this helps you find out what has changed or been added to Sage X3 and keyed you  in on what a help Online Help and the Sage X3 Knowledgebase can be.
