available for site review in the SharePoint 2010 environment.
These copies are for testing purposes only, and will not be the final upgraded versions of current intranet sites.
These include any sites which have the “[department].intranet.fsu.edu” naming convention (i.e. https://president.intranet.fsu.edu).

PREVIEW SITES IN SHAREPOINT 2010 Copies are snapshots of the sites as they were on November
21st, 2011. Any changes to the intranet sites since then will not be available in the preview versions.
Preview versions are completely separate copies of live intranet sites. Changes to preview sites will not affect live data.
Extranet sites (i.e. https://extranet.fsu.edu/sites/[department]) are not included in this upgrade.

FSU SharePoint 2010 Upgrade
PREVIEW SITES NOTES Certain types of hyperlinks will not work correctly in the
2010 preview sites. If the hyperlink is an absolute link in the 2007 site (i.e. http://www.server.com/subsite/index.aspx), it will still point to the same location. This can make navigation links (like menu links) point to the original 2007 site instead of the 2010 site.
Relative hyperlinks (i.e. /subsite/index.aspx) will correctly point to the updated location in the 2010 preview site.
