Other features new to ConnectedText 5 include a "cloud" view or command, and a "LikeThis" command, which can find related or similar topics without an explicit link.

In terms of flaws, ConnectedText still lacks one very useful feature: The ability to see multiple topics in the same project at once. It also cannot open a project on a network drive, though it can open one in a folder, which helps. Editing of tables remains complex. If you don't know CSS, you lose a lot of control over the appearance of your projects.

The trial period offers full functionality for thirty days, with the exception that the logo appears in the background and is watermarked on any exports or printouts. In general, if you tried older versions of this program and didn't care for them, it's unlikely this version will win you over. If you use an older version, or haven't tried a program of this sort before, I strongly recommend Connected Text 5.
