New and changed preferences for this release.
This preference category contains the following subfeature(s):
Onboarding Dialogs
The July 2022 release initiated a phased rollout of a new, modern user interace for Acrobat and Reader. Users can switch between the old and new UI by choosing View > Enable|Disable New Acrobat (Mac) or Hamburger menu > Enable|Disable New Acrobat (Windows). Preferences for onboarding coachmark control reside in both FTEDialog and AVGeneral.
The first time a user sees the new UI, an onboarding coachmark appears with an offer to start a tour. Admins may disable the onboarding UI.
New menu item on the old viewer
