intuitive search functions and includes several new options to help you find and replace
content.
New Validation View
A new
Validation side view has been
added that provides details about any detected problems in the current document and it is
synchronized with the editing pane. Each problem may contain fixes you can select to solve
that issue.
Proposals to Help You Resolve Errors
A
Quick Fix mechanism was added to Web Author that offers
proposals to automatically fix validation problems in your documents. The fixes are
presented in a tooltip in the main editing pane and also in the
Validation side view.
Autosave Feature for SharePoint
The
SharePoint plugin now includes support for

REST-based plugin on

providing a simple way to connect to a CMS or any repository.

When Change Tracking is enabled, any changes to attributes are displayed in the

You can now use the Tab key to jump to the next element.
Improved Validation when Uploading Plugins or Frameworks

the proper extension descriptor file (
plugin.xml or
*.framework) before copying it to the extensions folder. Also, the
Administration Page now displays plugins or frameworks that could not be
loaded.

On the server side, Web Author now requires Java Virtual Machine
1.8.
