Some features of the latest version:
Get files for your area of interest when compositing
When you place an order, there's a new option to compose images, stitching them together. You will receive fewer files and consume less quota. "Composite All" will give you one file, "Composite By Strips" will give you the most consistency (spatial, spectral, ambient, etc.). Take a look at what each option does to the map to get an idea of what you'll receive.
Easier to take action in Explorer
It's now easier to preview and order images. When you search for an image, you'll see three new buttons.

Click the "eye" button to preview the imagery for that date on the map.
Click the "Shopping Cart" button to add the image to your order.
