ATTENTION!

With WebOffice 10.8 the working directory of the WebOffice author standalone changes. In order to continue using existing profiles, they must be exported before uninstallation and imported again after reinstallation. If a staging mapping is saved for taking projects productive, the corresponding .json files must be transferred from %APPDATA%\Roaming\SynerGIS\WebOfficeAuthorStandalone\UIData\GoLiveStagging to %APPDATA%\Roaming\VertiGIS\WebOfficeAuthorStandalone\UIData\GoLiveStagging.

Since WebOffice 10.8, the WebOffice author standalone is delivered as a 64-Bit application. It should be noted that the ArcMap connector, which is responsible for the connection to MXDs, is still delivered as a 32-bit application, since it is based on the 32-bit ArcObjects.
