° Page Type Converter lets you merge pages of different types—and change other page types.

° Five standard reports are now available: non-published pages, published pages, modified pages, expiring/expired pages and an overview of simple addresses.
° External data such as an archive of articles at a media company can be integrated and displayed in a web site using EPiServer CMS. The data will be appear as a native EPiServer CMS page. This enables structured data stored on another document management system to be converted to a webpage in EPiServer and viewed.
