> ⚠️ These are updates for an old version. To see the latest updates, visit the [What's New page](https://help-innovyze.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/info360/pages/15008145).

## Complete Update of Layout and Interface

The main difference in version 6.0 is very obvious as the layout is completely new and improved.

The [Workspace Overview](https://help-innovyze.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/info360/pages/15008154) page gives a complete summary of the new layout.

Notably, Dashboards have been replaced by Workspaces. When upgrading a site, any saved Dashboards will be converted to Workspaces.

Workspaces are configurable pages that can contain a group of Charts, Gauges, and Dashlets.

In addition, the Navigation window was replaced by the [Command Center](https://help-innovyze.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/info360/pages/15008149) which combines data organization with controls.


## New Analysis Tools

### Chart Option Panel

<details>
<summary>More information about this feature</summary>

A collapsible control panel has been added to historic data charts which gives quick access to common Reference Charts.

Go to Chart Options tab in [Charts](https://help-innovyze.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/info360/pages/15007787) for more information.

The default visibility of the Chart Option panel is controlled in the [Settings](https://help-innovyze.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/info360/pages/15008167).

### Patterns

<details>
<summary>More information about this feature</summary>

Patterns allow SCADAWatch to compile aggregate repeating trends found in measured data.

For example, running an hourly pattern on flow from the treatment plant for a month can quickly show the average 24 hour pattern of water supply used that month.

Refer to the [Patterns](https://help-innovyze.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/info360/pages/15008022) page for more information.

### Biz Block

<details>
<summary>More information about this feature</summary>

Biz Blocks are simple tools that allow multi-component analysis.

Several inputs of sensor data can be specified, which can be fed into output functions that leverage each of the inputs as well as [Analytical Functions](https://help-innovyze.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/info360/pages/15007825).
