At Pageflex, we are always working to improve our products, so we're excited to announce the release of Pageflex v8.6! We've got some exciting new capabilities to share with you including; considerable performance improvements, a "round-robin" task assignment and a new way to access your campaigns within [Pageflex Storefront](https://pageflex.com/products/web-to-print-solutions/pageflex-storefront-customized-web-portals/).

#### **Performance Improvements **

End-users of Pageflex v8.6 will witness substantial improvements when viewing the deployment catalog, loading in-page items, updating documents and previews, using "quick order" for static jobs, and viewing shopping cart items.

#### **"Round-Robin" Task Assignment**

As a part of the performance improvements, we changed the way that [Pageflex Server](https://pageflex.com/products/marketing-portals/pageflex-server-variable-data/) assigns tasks. In addition to the default “Use least busy host” option, there is a new “Use each host in turn” round-robin method.

#### **[Pageflex Storefront](https://pageflex.com/products/web-to-print-solutions/pageflex-storefront-customized-web-portals/) Campaigns**

We simplified the user experience (UX) by creating a new "Campaigns" tab in the top navigation bar, giving you a direct view of recently ordered campaigns and direct links to campaign details.
