Configurable batch validation, which allows users to store and rerun QC tests
The ability to store the ReViewer Table in a file, personal, or SDE geodatabase

There is now a toolbar for MPS-Atlas. This toolbar contains tools that allow you to manage the Data Frame Manager, placement rules, dynamic text, and map sheet properties as well as create polygon grids.
Several enhancements have been made to the Grid Manager. These enhancements include additional options in the Grid Creation wizard and changes to the Grid Designer.
New functionality has been added that allows you to configure the way data is viewed in ArcMap. A view controls what appears in the map in terms of the layers that are loaded, while visual specifications control the symbology for features in the map.
Dynamic text has been completely redesigned. Major changes include the ability to use expressions to format the returned text values.
You can reshape existing areas of interest (AOIs) and recalculate your map sheets based on the changes to the AOI.
All map sheets can be made single at the same time.
Multiple map sheets can be added using a visible extent to define the AOIs.
Buffers can be based on page units, so it is possible to buffer each page by one inch, for example, without regard to scale.
The Dynamic Definition Query now recognizes the common fields from all layers chosen to participate in the query. It no longer only uses the bottom layer.
