Some of its features have been included in the default platform package, some are now available as independent Nuxeo Packages, and some have been deprecated. The next sections detail the features that have deprecated or moved out of the default distribution of the platform. Features not listed are now included in the default Nuxeo Platform package.
Faceted Search - Deprecated

Saved faceted searches based on the default search are not available in the Search tab after the upgrade to version 6.0.

Picture Book - Deprecated
The picture book document type used to be part of the Document Management module. It has been deprecated in Nuxeo Platform 6.0. Here is the behavior of the picture book document type for Nuxeo Platform 6.0:
- It is not possible to create new pictures books in Nuxeo Platform 6.0.
- Existing picture books are still available and are showed as regular folders: they do not have the Slideshow and View tabs anymore. It is still possible to create pictures in migrated picture books.
- Because pictures are now part of the Nuxeo DAM addon, so is the picture book.
Text Annotations - Deprecated
In Nuxeo Platform 6.0, text annotations are not supported anymore. They can be reactivated by installing the addon Digital Asset Management and setting the parameter nuxeo.text.annotations to true in nuxeo.conf.
Virtual Navigation
Virtual navigation used to come with the DM package. It is now an independent addon.
Nuxeo DAM
For Nuxeo Platform 6.0, the DAM package has been simplified: it now holds the documents types Picture, Audio and Video. All the specific UI has been moved into the DAM compat addon (see the page Nuxeo DAM Compat for details).
This means that the Nuxeo DAM addon doesn't provide a DAM dedicated tab anymore. The browsing and document information preview features are now available in the default distribution of the platform, in the Search tab. All the features related to media documents types features (conversion, player, etc.) are provided by the Nuxeo DAM addon.
Customers who want to keep the former DAM user interface should use the Nuxeo DAM Compat addon. Nuxeo DAM Compat is a compatibility addon and is deprecated for Nuxeo Platform 6.0.
