While the process for completing a dealing has not changed, you will find differences in the look and feel, navigation and functionality of New Landonline.
All dealings created in New Landonline are fully actionable in Legacy Landonline. However, dealings created in Legacy Landonline will only be functional in New Landonline if we've developed the functions you're expecting to use.
You can still open a dealing with unsupported instruments, but you cannot add or edit the instruments. Other dealing actions like Certify and Sign, Release and Submit can still be actioned in these dealings where there are no attached images.
