The SP stack 14 version of Visual Composer has been released as part of the overall SP14 release of SAP NetWeaver 7.0. In addition to fixes for a number of known issues, this release contains a range of new and enhanced features, including: *Recently Used Models in Get Started task panel
*The Get Started task panel now lists the most recently-opened models (up to five), enabling you to access the model without having to find its exact location in the file system.
*Note* that you can access the Recently Used Models list from any open model, by clicking the Start button at the bottom of the task-panel toolbar. 0.1. *Context-sensitive help* +Finally!+ Context-sensitive help – accessed through standard Help buttons or a special ? key – is now available, for online versions of Visual Composer. 0.1. *Copy-paste between models
*You can now copy the contents of one model and paste them into another model using a “standard” copy-paste function. This saves you time and effort in exporting/importing parts of models and enhances reusability. 0.1. *What's New screen
*When you access the new release of Storyboard (and subsequent releases as well), a +What’s New+ screen is displayed, listing the new features of the release. This list gives you a brief description of each new and changed features.
0.1. *Display Flex compiled sources in Source Viewer
*This is a new checkbox in the +Tools+ --> +Options+ --> +Compiler+ tab. If you select it, when you click +View ++Source+ after deploying a model, all Flex-based data sources are listed in the Source Viewer dialog box. Using this feature may affect performance. 0.1. *Link to last deployment of model retained in the Deploy to Portal task panel
*When a model that has been previously deployed is opened, the link to the runtime component remains available in the Deploy to Portal task panel, under the *Recently Deployed* header. With this time-saving option, all relevant pages and primary iViews in the selected model are immediately retrieved from the portal PCD, along with a time stamp.
