# Migrating to Portal Version 5

> Everything you need to know before migrating your Members Portal from version 4 (or earlier) to version 5.

# Migrating to Portal Version 5

Version 5 of the Members Portal is a complete redesign of the member-facing experience. It introduces a modern interface, a drag-and-drop page editor, improved performance, and new features such as guest checkout, dynamic pricing, and team management.

This guide walks you through the entire migration process — from previewing the new portal, to going live, to rolling back if needed.

## Who should read this

This guide is for **coworking-space operators** currently running version 4 or earlier of the Members Portal who want to upgrade to version 5.

## What changes for your customers

Most of the underlying data — bookings, invoices, plans, events — remains exactly the same. What changes is **how customers interact with that data**:

| Area                    | What changes                                                                          |
| ----------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Look and feel**       | Fully redesigned interface with a modern, responsive layout                           |
| **Navigation**          | Reorganised menu structure with clearer categories                                    |
| **Dashboard**           | New personal dashboard with upcoming bookings, announcements, and quick actions       |
| **Bookings**            | Improved resource search with filters, map views, and dynamic pricing                 |
| **Team management**     | Dedicated section for team bookings, attendance, members, and permissions             |
| **Profile and billing** | Streamlined account pages for personal info, invoices, and payment methods            |
| **Page editor**         | New [drag-and-drop editor](/editor/overview) for customising every page without code  |
| **Custom code**         | `app.js`, `styles.css`, and `head.js` [continue to work](/editor/custom-web-injector) |

<Info>
