This tutorial is suited to authors and Document Architect users who plan to upgrade their installations. The second new tutorial, “Epic Interchange Primer” is a half-day session that will showcase the differences between Epic Interchange 4.1 and the previous version, which is Word Interchange for Epic 3.0.
