Coming early in January is a new version of Vision. Included in this release are user interface changes and improved communications resilience.
Communications
The improved communications resilience will address problems a small number of users experience due to the quality of their broadband.

Vision Interface
The new user interface changes will move the vehicle and Image Tabs into Vision so that all estimating functionality is contained in one place. The new look user interface is more intuitive and works in the same way as other windows programs. Below are details of each of the new tabs:
Vehicle Tab

The old ‘Get DVLA Data’ button has been replaced with a ‘Find’ button next to the registration plate. The new find button provides matches to more vehicles than ever before.
Image Tab
The new image tab (see below) is now in Vision and works in a similar manner to the previous one, with the exception of delete an image which is done from a button rather than a cross associated with each image. The big improvements come when attaching images or viewing images.

Image Viewer
The new image viewer allows you to navigate from picture to picture by clicking on the thumbnails saving you having to return to the image tab each time. The new image view has more image manipulation features including:
