Upgrade now to Zoho Creator 5

Upgrade now to Zoho Creator 5

Hello App Creators,

 

We've officially started the Creator 5 upgrade process and will be upgrading all Zoho accounts to Creator 5 by February 1st, 2021. For reference, please refer to our previous announcement.


The upgrade wizard 


To reach this goal, we've now designed a wizard that:
  • Allows you to preview Creator 5

  • Lists the features—specific to your account—that have evolved in Creator 5

 

All Zoho account owners will see the Upgrade to Creator 5 pop-up while accessing and editing applications today. In case you miss or skip it, you can access it from your Creator account's Setup > Updates page.

 




Upgrade flow 


Upon clicking Get Started, the upgrade wizard will open in a new tab. It'll guide you to upgrade your account to Creator 5:
  • If your account's using an older Deluge framework, you'll need to update to the latest framework.

  • You'll get to preview the new UI for accessing and editing Creator applications. We're calling them the New Live Mode and New Edit Mode, respectively.

  • You'll learn how workflow configurations are unified in Creator 5.

  • You'll learn how access permissions are unified in Creator 5.

  • If you're collecting payments via any of your applications, you'll learn how to upgrade the payment configurations in Creator 5.

 

You'll have access to the Upgrade to Creator 5 button all throughout the wizard.


Documentation 


We've updated our documentation to illustrate:
  • The screens you'll see while upgrading to Creator 5, and

  • How the application configurations have evolved or been rearranged
