It’s time for a new release of Sitecore Author Toolbox extension. To celebrate the new year and welcome 2021, this new release is adding some nice UI enhancement and bringing Experimental UI Theme to the next level with the support of Sitecore Desktop Mode.
Happy new year! 🎉 Sitecore Author Toolbox 5.0 is out.
A new User Menu
A new user menu is attached to your profile picture. You can now easily access common Sitecore features and customize the look and feel by choosing between dark and light mode and between classic Sitecore and experimental UI Theme.
Experimental UI for Sitecore Desktop mode
Besides the numerous under-the-hood code optimizations made in this release, the main visible change is that Experimental UI Theme is now fully compatible with Sitecore Desktop mode. Another reason to give it a try and adopt it!

Welcome screen
A new welcome is also available with tips and tricks when you activate the Experimental UI Theme for the first time!

If you haven’t installed it yet, head to Google Web Store and install it from here.
I hope you will enjoy this version. Don’t hesitate to send me your feedback here.
I’m already working on version 6.0 that will handle multisite for Live URL features!
Enjoy!
