Where to find Notes 6 & 7 menus that have changed in Notes 8

While this is an older technote from Lotus it came up with a customer the other day that was finally finishing upgrading clients.  As the moved from earlier releases to the 8.5.x codestream they realized that some of the menu items changed.  This includes renaming and moving.  Lotus had published this handly little chart for Where to find Notes 6 & 7 menus that have changed in Notes 8

The location of certain menu options / features in Notes 7 and earlier releases may have changed in Notes 8.x.  This portion of the document is meant to be a used as a quick reference if you are looking for a Notes 6/7 submenu choice under the main Notes menu choices (that is, File , Edit , View, Create, Actions, or Help) that is no longer in the same location and/or is renamed in Notes 8.x.  

Note: In some cases, the functionality behind the menu choice may not be exactly the same as that of previous releases.  

This document:
-  focuses mostly on the menus available from the mail database (mail8.ntf) design but also identifies menu items that are normally grayed out in the mail database but available in other database choices that have changed. In the interest of document size/usability, it does not show menus that remain the same in Notes 8 as in Notes 7.
- points out only those menu choices under the main Notes menus: File, Edit, View, Create, Actions, Help.
-  is not meant to be an all inclusive list of Notes 8 menus; does not include menus for new Notes 8 features/functions
- breaks down view and document level menus.
