You can create new Webforms now, but you won't be able to use them until March 28th. The reason we did this, is to allow people plenty of time to get comfortable with creating new Webforms. Additionally, if they had any Legacy Webforms that they wanted to re-create using the new Webforms creation process, they could do that as well. Remember though, you don't have to re-create your existing Webforms, as they will continue to function. You also don't have to decide to use the new Webforms at all, that's entirely up to you. As for form pieces, those are not used in the new Webforms. We removed them so that everything you need to create a new Webform is one place instead of two. In the new Webform editor, there is no need for form pieces as you can add fields, lists, etc. via drag-and-drop right into your form. Hope this helps to clarify and let me know if you have any other questions. Chris,
