MLXchange and Fusion operate from ONE DATABASE, which is why you can use both systems interchangeably.

On February 19, your saved searches and clients will be pushed over to the Matrix database.From February 19 to April 9:Listing data and your contacts will be continuously updated for your convenience. Changes to contact info in MLX/Fusion will be viewable in MatrixTrain with live dataSaved searches will become increasingly stale after Feb. 19; any changes in MLX/Fusion will not be viewable in Matrix.WARNING: if you modify contacts in Matrix, this info will no longer be updated from MLX/FusionIn preparation for the launch of add/edit functionality, your saved searches from MLX/Fusion will be updated again in Matrix.
