New Design V8

In V8 there should be a new design. Please make this design optional and without component pack. Also users who do not have the component pack installed in the environment should OPTIONALLY enjoy the new design of V8. Perhaps it is possible to change the design using a flag in the LCC.xml "Classic < - > New V8 Design".

    You will be able to deploy Connections 8 without component pack. However, there will be elements that will not be displayed (e.g., Top Updates, Important to Me bar) or where the old version will be shown (e.g., Search results page). We would highly encourage all of our customers to deploy Component Pack so that users can take advantage of all the latest features and user experience.

    We are evaluating giving admins the ability to install Connections 8 with the old UI shown to users, with the goal being to give time for customizations before rolling out the new UI to users.
