I am a Matrix user. Do I need to access the new Flexmls?
You will have a refreshed Matrix as well. Both systems are being updated.
Do we have to switch to the new system right now?
No. The preview (Parallel) period is optional and intended for early familiarization and saved-search checks before go-live.
