Site Management Tools Versions

There are currently two supported versions of Site Management Tools (SMT), versions 2 and 3. Two important differences between the versions are the available features and native compatibility with different versions of SuiteCommerce and SuiteCommerce Advanced. By default, SuiteCommerce Kilimanjaro and greater use SMT version 3. Versions of SuiteCommerce prior to Kilimanjaro, use SMT version 2.

For information about upgrading from version 2 to version 3, see Upgrade from Version 2 to Version 3 of SMT.

For documentation specific to Version 2 of SMT, see Site Management Tools Version 2.

Determine Your Version of SMT

You can determine which version of SMT is enabled by inspecting the admin URL. The admin URL is displayed in the browser’s address bar when you are logged in to SMT. In the following URL, the number between /cms/ and /admin/ is 3. This indicates SMT version 3 is enabled on the site. If SMT version 2 is enabled on the site, then this number would be 2.
