Do I understand this right.... If I want to work in individual catalogs I would still use "Classic" CC is only for keeping catalogs that you want to share across devices?

TIA

    If you want multiple catalogs, yes, you need Classic.

    CC keeps all your photos in a single cloud, so you can access them from multiple devices.

    Right on Rick.  The PR on this is horrible.   what were they thinking, taking an old name (LR CC) and applying it to a completely different product and then renaming the original product to a name that means something different in English.  "Classic", as in old, or historical or obsolete.

    Absurd, unless....... They are looking forward to a day when they remove classic from their list of products, leaving ONLY CC.  Ha!  If they thought the backlash they got when they destroyed the Import Dialog in LR CC/2015.2 was loud, wait till they try to kill Classic.  In fact, we should start that feedback now so they will know what they face and hopefully don't even go down that path.

      So as a professional photographer I won't use this as my primary import application right?

      Not unless you need all the originals in the cloud, and have time to wait for them to upload to the cloud and back down to Classic.
