You can open projects from QuarkXPress 3.3, 4.x, 5.x, or 6.x, and be confident that color will display and output as it always has.

You can continue to work in a legacy color management environment from QuarkXPress versions 3.3, 4.x, 5.x, or 6.x. If you choose to work in a legacy color management environment, you can still take advantage of the soft proofing features in QuarkXPress.

You can easily upgrade to the QuarkXPress 7 methods by changing the Source Setup to QuarkXPress 7.0 Default (or to a custom option) in Color Manager preferences (QuarkXPress/Edit menu > Preferences). The Source Setup is layout specific, so if you open a project with multiple layouts, you can change the source setup for each layout. Then, make sure any output setups you use (Edit > Color Setups > Output) specify QuarkXPress 7.0 Default profiles rather than profiles from previous versions.
