Why This Is Required:

Better Performance. Better Security. No Downtime.

In partnership with Mitchell 1® we have developed the Enhanced Catalog update which utilizes a more modern, secure browser. In order to maintain compatibility you will need to perform this one-time update to the new Enhanced Catalog in Mitchell 1 Manager SE. 

The legacy Nexpart / CONNECTION catalog buttons run using Internet Explorer 11 (IE11). Microsoft has retired Internet Explorer 11 and no longer provides security updates or technical support.
