Adding to this: Any time there's major changes to a program/method/UI, I typically find it's good to identify the 5 or so tasks that I need to do *everyday*, and learn those 5 things first. This takes the stress of something new away, as you know you're (at least) EVEN in productivity as you were before the major changes took place. 
Then, take the next 5 new features and tackle 1 every day, as these other wise gentlemen have suggested.
 
I'm also comfortable knowing that I don't know everything about SONAR, but I know the stuff that helps me serve clients within the context of our work. Craig's tips serve as introductions to functions I would rarely use, but will often check it out after he explains it...if only to say "woah cool..had no idea SONAR could do that". ( Of course, I then promptly forget how to do that task and never do it again, but that's another thread :) )

That's why it seemed like a book was a good idea

It was, and well executed. Thanks for all the work. There are some real productivity gains there for the asking price. Bargain.

How about keyboard shortcuts? I Can't find how i can swith fast beetwin Lens's :(

I agree 100%. Lenses need hot keys.
That would make them fast as lightning.
It's really slow reaching up there with the mouse and pulling a drop down menu.

They can also be looked at as global screensets. I opened each of my screensets, then created a new lens and saved it with the same name. You can create more lenses than you can screensets.
 
I expect it's been explained elsewhere, but why do screensets have to be per project only, and not global?

I agree, just make screensets global???

For me that would remove a ton of functionality as I have different screensets for every project.
I think screensets need to stay on a per project level.

This is planned for a future version. Stay tuned. The Lenses feature will continue to evolve.

Awesome x 100!
Hotkeys for switching lenses will make them really useful for me.

On the first page I said that Lenses load much slower than screensets for me. Is anyone else experiencing this? I shutdown/restart daily, so I don't think it's cache related.

Same for me ... slightly slower than screenset changes.

I e only just now had a look.

Wow what project management especially if it's large. Add Lenses, Screensets and Mix recall together and you have enormous flexibility over how you view and interact with the data that comprises your project.

Imagine different Lenses that have various Mix Recall settings and different Screensets. This is going to be my personal project in getting back into Sonar.

Steve, I can learn something here. Why do you have different screensets for every project? A couple examples would be helpful. I have the same screen sets for every project I work on and mostly switch between 2 of them. 
 
I think I might be missing something so I would appreciate your comments. 
 
Thanks,

As I said I don't understand the negative comments on this. In the case of Lenses use them or don't. No one is compelled to use them nor is there any need to "rollback".  The same applies to Screensets. These are tools within Sonar that you can use or not.  There is simply no reason to knock them.
