    READ ME first.

     

    1. Links to Bootstrap 5 on the CDN. 

    NOTE:  Latest Bootstrap does not rely on jQuery. 

    DO NOT combine versions of Bootstrap. 

    https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap@5.3.2/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css

    https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap@5.3.2/dist/js/bootstrap.bundle.min.js

     

    2. Migrating from old to new Bootstrap, manually.

    NOTE:  New & deprecated classes.

    Post back if you have questions.

    Thank you, Nancy. What happens to what I've created using version 4?

    Nothing, it still works. However don't try and link Bootstrap version 5 to whatever you have done in version 4 as you will mostly likely need to update certain elements.

     

    There's nothing in Dreamweaver that will make it easy for you to select Bootstrap utility classes, starter responsive templates etc for version 5 as it currently only supports version 4 and won't be updated as far as we know. Dreamweaver is only receiving OS and bug updates, currently no new features.
