As wordpress had over 65 million downloads since version 3.0 was released, and this version after it so lot of new features are included like new user experience , Easy Navigations , Better Uploading and improved imports section. Let’s discuss them one by one.

New Users Experience

In this update its very focused on wordpress new users Experience. If one doesn’t have enough user experience on the wordpress dashboard before this is very helpful the improvement mostly based on the installation and configuration like procedure are friendlier then ever before.
The interface is now much better, in the dashboard it provides the users various tips to manage different areas! The ugly Admin bar is now replaced with a light one having the more important options there like creating a new post, editing the post, adding link , page or users, moderating comments etc.
The admin screen is now more users friendly, gives useful tips in the form of highlights, these highlights help them to change to the new version and gives information about new features and their performance.

The left sided Navigations are now smooth and soft , by putting your mouse pointer over at an option gives you flying menu’s that’s don’t waste much of your time and effort. These also makes the website/blog light weighted and page time take less time to load.

Easy and Fast Uploading

Uploading is now made easy, simple and fast no more the painful up-loader, like 1st clicking the type of upload (Image , video , others etc.) and then wait to upload.

In this version it is more improved, content locks are now released with an easy editing co-experience.
