The Project Manager
...................

Version 4.1 enables the Project Manager by default, a new alternative to the Job Composer that brings the
automatic scheduler interaction of batch connect forms to your personal job scripts. In addition to this core
functionality, it also provides support for workflows that can submit multiple dependent jobs at once, and
easy collaboration on projects among teams. The core functionality will work without modification, but
collaborative projects work best when used with :ref:`properly configured shared direcories <project_manager_shared_project_root>`.
For more details on customization and configuration of the Project Manager, see :ref:`project_manager`, or

I noted that thing about the test URL to see how this renders. I feel like it reads kinda funny using Project Manager back to back like that.

That's a good catch. Fixing it now

see :ref:`project-manager-tutorial` for an example driven guide intended for users.

.. warning::
The Job Composer is officially **deprecated** in 4.1, and will no longer receive new features or bug fixes
beyond critical maintenance. Although the Project Manager covers and surpasses all Job Composer functionality,
the Job Composer will remain enabled as a legacy feature until version 5.0.

Can we move this to deprecation section? I may have removed it thinking nothing was deprecated.

Moved to the deprecation section. I kept it in a warning block though, is that good with you?
