The host updates the single user interface to display at least one selectable previous version function from at least one previous version of the separate versions of the software product. In response to receiving a user selection within the single user interface to access a particular selectable previous version function, the host delivers the functionality of the particular selectable previous version function from a particular previous version of the software product within the single user interface for the current version of the software product.
