You can customize the tabs on the What's New page by configuring an XML file. When the What's Newmodule is executed within the page, it looks for the existence of WhatsNew_Config.xml in the App_Datafolder of the portal. If it exists, the rendering logic changes and uses the details contained within todetermine the smart parts that get displayed. A sample configuration file, WhatsNew_Config_Example.xml, isprovided. The easiest way to configure the file is to deploy your Sales Client site, copy or rename theresultant file to WhatsNew_Config.xml, and edit it in Visual Studio. When you have completed your changesin Visual Studio, copy the updated file back into the SupportFiles\\App_Data folder in your project.
