- The Micor website address will remain unchanged: https://micor.agriculture.gov.au.
- The new Micor platform will retain all existing content relied upon by users. The overall look and feel, navigation and structure will remain similar.
- Existing Micor newsletter subscriptions will continue, and users will not need to re-subscribe.
- Any bookmarks to commodity landing pages will be redirected to the new platform.
- Users who access publicly available content without a username and password can continue to do so as usual and do not need to create an account or set up two-factor authentication (TFA).
What is changing?
- Most users will notice only minor interface changes when using the new platform.
- Introduction of TFA for users who access password-protected content.
- Bookmarks to individual country or case pages will need to be re-created.
Action required by all Micor users after go-live
- Users who have saved bookmarks to specific country or case pages will need to recreate them after go-live, as a specific country or case page website addresses will change in the new platform.
Action required by users who access password-protected content
Following go-live, users who currently access password-protected content will need to:
- reset their password
- set up TFA
- use TFA when accessing password-protected content on the new platform
