For many users who are already familiar with VTS 8, VTS 10 introduces a number of changes. This page provides an overview of where to find commonly used VTS 8 features in the VTS 10 user interface.
What is the new VTS 10 user interface?
With VTS 10, the new user interface (UI) became the standard. It is now displayed in blue and white instead of the grey VTS 8 design. The new UI expands the functionality of VTS while continuing to provide most of the features available in VTS 8 (see: Can I update from VTS 8 to VTS 10? for additional information).
The VTS 10 user interface is now the same in VTS online and local VTS. Starting with VTS 8.28, the new user interface (UI) became the default. However, it was still possible to switch back to the previous UI. In VTS 10, switching back to the previous user interface is no longer possible.
To ease transitioning from the old to the new user interface, the following section highlights the major differences and where to find all relevant features.

You can also retrieve the links for previously sent test invitations if you need them again.
