Manifestly's New Layout
This summer, all users will be upgraded to the new Manifestly layout — with several new features and a more flexible experience for managing workflows, tasks, and teams.
Transition Timeline
Manifestly will retire the old layout on June 1st, 2025. All users still using the previous layout will be automatically switched.
We recommend switching early so your team can become familiar with the updated features and interface.
How to Update
The New Layout option is available in the left nav of the old layout.
You can also use this link: to switch to the new layout.
