- Main Feature: Interactive Outliner/Tree view: you can now select two views of the project, the default "Map View" and the alternative "Tree View."
- "Tree View" shows your project in outline format, similar to the Status Report structure, but interactive. You can either expand or contract rows containing goals with sub-goals by clicking the disclosure triangle. You can edit all columns: goal/task name, due date, start date, status, finish date and notes. Just click the row you want to edit (in order to select it), and then click again on the field of interest. You can also click and drag the status bar control (located by the % done value).
Main benefits:
- You can navigate back and forth between the map view and tree view. If you select a goal in the map and then click the tree view mode, the outline tree will expand and highlight this selected goal. The reversal is also true, if you select a goal when in tree mode and then move back to the map view mode, the map will be focused on this goal location.

- "Import from Outlook" reads the modifications you did to your tasks while using Outlook, and then updates GoalEnforcer accordingly. It only reads the tasks that are under a folder which has the same name as the GoalEnforcer project. Tasks that have been added while using Outlook will appear on the ClipBoard area, so that you can rearrange them later.
- "Export to Freemind" will extract project data and generate a project map file that can be viewed with Freemind. If you have Freemind installed on your computer, it will automatically open the project map after the conversion has been done.
- "Import from Freemind" will import maps generated by Freemind.
