  • Web-based help- Help files were removed from the Sage CRM installation package to reduce its size. Now when a user clicks the Help button within the product, Sage CRM displays help files hosted on dedicated web servers. To access these help files, client computers must have access to the Internet. You can change this default behavior by installing help files locally on your Sage CRM server.
  • Secure email connection- You can configure Sage CRM to use Transport Layer Security (TLS) to establish a secure connection to a mail server. This lets you use Sage CRM with public mail services that require a secure connection such as Exchange Online, hosted Exchange, and Gmail.
  • Contemporary theme- The Contemporary theme is the only theme available on a new installation of Sage CRM 2017 R1. When you upgrade Sage CRM to 2017 R1, all themes that existed in the previous version of the product remain available in Sage CRM 2017 R1. Customizations to the Contemporary theme or newly created themes are not supported.
