The current Layout window was added in MapInfo Pro 12.5 (2014) to replace an older Layout window that does not have as many features. Maps designed in MapInfo Pro before version 12.5 can be viewed and edited in the current Layout window. However, the resulting layout may not contain every element from your original layout. We know how much time it takes to design the perfect map for print and distribution, so we have kept the classic Layout window for you to use with maps that are older than version 12.5.

For more information about classic Layout windows, see About Layout Windows in the MapBasic User Guide.
