# What is the difference between Customer Portal v2 and v3?

[Customer Portal v3](/help/docs/customer-portal-v3-overview) (CPv3) is a redesigned version of Skio’s customer portal that focuses on clearer navigation, easier subscription management, and faster customization. [Customer Portal v2](/help/docs/customer-portal-v2-walkthrough) (CPv2) is a legacy, settings-driven portal maintained to support older configurations and interface elements.

## Key differences

> [!NOTE]
> User interface (UI) refers to the on-screen layout, buttons, menus, and visual elements that customers interact with in the customer portal.
