Has anyone been to the new Mac App Store?

The first time you access it, you'll notice quite a difference from the older App Store look.

I wanted to mention that some of the options for viewing things in the store are no longer listed on the opening page as they were before. Specifically, if you wish to view your personal account, you'll need to click on the App Store top menu "Store" and then select your account from the bottom item.

I also noticed that the only previous version of macOS that is available to me other than the current Mojave is El Capitan. Not sure what happened to the others that were there before, but they are now gone.

Have fun.

I have never had the option for downloading Sierra or High Sierra again, except while they were still available.El Capitan, was the last OS X/macOS version to appear in the Purchased section of the macOS App Store. So make sure you keep your backups, or if you make bootable USBs that will work too.

Good catch Charlie. I just checked it and I ee the same thing. I could have sworn that other versions were there for me under the Mojave betas. I still have a Mojave beta on a backup drive so I may boot from it later to see if I get the same thing there. The Sierra version that I see is from a beta.

I still have a high Sierra clone on a drive. Wonder what I would see if I boot from that?

Well, as I'm still on macOS High Sierra, the App Store looks the same to me.

When I view my purchased items, the only operating systems available to me are Mavericks and El Capitan - even though I have "purchased" all of the previous ones from Snow Leopard to High Sierra (except for Yosemite which I deliberately avoided).

Be brave Ian! Install Mojave so you can see the new Mac App Store and then wish you hadn't. LOL.

I see about the same as Ian with the addition of Mountain Lion. None of the latter OS X Versions showing that I have downloaded them.

One stupid view I get is a big splash of Mojave across the top and a strong suggestion to download it!!! Pretty dumb considering my mid-2011 iMac can't even run it!
