This latest release of Workforce is a major change and upgrade of the product. Workforce launch has many exciting new features;

• Downloading maps – you create web app, but you’ll need to download the project map to your device before you can use it.
• New user experience – inspired by a common design shared with Collector, Explorer, and the new Field Maps app, Workforce has a consistent look and feel with these apps. The overflow menu to access tools, the sliding panel to show/hide the map are common in all the apps now.
• Sync panel – now that projects are offline, you can decide to review your work and manually sync changes, Workforce automatically sync changes for you.
• Migrate Classic projects – When ready to migrate a Classic project, click the “Migrate Project” button that appears on Classic project cards.
