My favorite 5.5 changes: Stacks and Version managment
Permalink 1 user found helpful
I was initially upset when I heard 5.5 wasn't going to have the Global Scrapbook. That was my most used feature, LOVED it. I read a few threads on how bad the stacks were, was not feeling happy. Then I upgraded to 5.5, and watched this video on Stacks:

And now after using Stacks a bit, I don't miss the Scrapbook at all, it's especially cool how you can make custom pages with Stacks, like for sidebars or whatever. (which is what I do all the time)
My other favorite feature so far with 5.5 is the version control. I knew C5 kept versions of pages, but honestly I never used them or thought about them.
After running the Remove Old Page Versions automated job, I realized how many (100's) of old versions I had being stored in the database. I deleted TONS of old versions.
And I don't know if I'm imagining things or not, but I swear my sites are faster after deleting all these old versions.

I also love the fact you can favourite things to the drop down nav bar, I find myself using the same few pages a lot, so going straight to them is cool!
