how to access cms cockpit features in backoffice in 1811V?

[adityadwibhashyam]

I have recently upgraded system from 6.3 to 1811V. I have added cmsbackoffice to localextensions.xml. In backoffice, we can see WCMS node in explorer tree and we are able to access it. How do we access cmscockpit features in latest version? Please suggest. Will it come in perspectives dropdown in backoffice? It is not appearing.

Please suggest and let me know your inputs.

Hi - cmscockpit is not available any more. Please start using SmartEdit.

Please check an overview of the feature parity of SmartEdit with WCMS Cockpit at https://help.hybris.com/1811/hcd/c554253f5c8b4ead95f3fe76882003b6.html

Hi Aditya - you have attached a screenshot of backoffice but what I understood from your question is you want to know the preview mode in SmartEdit. You will find Preview mode in SmartEdit in the right top corner as shown on the attached screenshot.

[adityadwibhashyam]

I am unable to see mode selection in my smart edit screen. Please find screenshot and kindly help.

Also, i see manythings are missing in page. Please let me know your inputs.
