5 5  **Hi there, eMagiz developers!** We have been hard at work bolstering our offering concerning the upcoming rollout of our new architecture stack. We will release an important part of the Manage phase for this new architecture stack. In this release, all-new graphs and dashboards are released to the community. To use them (part of), your solution needs to run on the new architecture stack. On top of that, we have released a new cloud template for our single-lane environments that will unlock technical improvements in the future. Furthermore, we have several smaller feedback items to share!

7 -==**Manage Statistics revamped**==
7 +==**Flow Designer V3**==
8 +
9 +The new Flow Designer used in Create is released! This is a significant improvement in our iPaaS Portal with the aim to update our technology stack but moreover to delight our users. After several iterations of internal validations and validation sessions with end-users, we have exposed this feature to all users. Below are some key notes that are important to know and to consider

9 -As of now, how you manage your environment on the new architecture stack will change drastically. For each segment of statistics we provide (Runtime, Queue, and HTTP), the dashboards and graphs as shown below have been altered to give you the option to better monitor your working solution. This means we have a "key" page for each segment that highlights the problems and critical areas to focus on.
11 +=== **Improvements** ===
12 +The new Flow Designer implements an approach whereby components can be dragged into the canvas without any configuration setting changed. The right hand panel contains a new section called Alerts that helps users to remove all alerts from the flow created. Such as missing configurations, channels or mismatches. All of these alerts need to be resolved so that a valid flow can be pushed to Deploy.

16 +Furthermore, there is now a right hand panel to brings a few configuration forward for users. In that panel you will find the following 4 tabs as described below. Furthermore, you can collapse the right hand panel to have more space to view/edit your flow.

20 +* **Alerts**
21 +In this section, all alerts are displayed organized by component. Alert text should be clear to understand the issue and the component can be opened from that same location.

23 +* **Resources**
24 +In this section, all resources are displayed used by the flow. Resources can be added and deleted from this section, as well as download and viewed. Generated resources such as transformations and definition are also vieweable from here. Use the option Show generated resources to explore these.
25 +
26 +* **Support objects**
27 +The support objects are no longer stored on the canvas, but displayed as a list in this tab. The interaction to add new support objects is also moved to this tab. Support objects can be edited from this tab as well. Please note that the interaction with the main canvas remains - selecting a support object will highlight the components in the canvas to illustrate where that support object is used.

17 -Once you click on a runtime, queue, or resource, you will navigate to a detailed page containing the key graphs & metrics and various other graphs that will help you monitor your solution.

27 -==**Cloud Template R22 - Single Lane** ==
29 +* **Properties**
30 +The properties tab is also visible now and has been improved so that the values in Deploy can also be viewed. All values of all environments can be viewed - container level properties replicated are condensed into a single entry.

29 -This release introduces a new cloud template for all our customers running in a single-lane setup. This cloud template will allow these customers to be migrated in the future to our latest cloud infrastructure advancements. The complete release notes on the cloud template can be found [[here>>doc:Main.Release Information.Cloud Templates.WebHome||target="blank"]]
32 +=== **User interaction changes** ===
33 +There are some small changes to consider compared to the old flow designer. Please take a moment to read these:
34 +
35 +* Multiple select. This option is still available, but you have to click the shift button while drawing the rectangle that holds the objects to select
36 +* Zoom in/out. The mouse wheel or comparable options are available to zoom in and out into specific sections of the flow
37 +* Live preview. When moving components around, a live preview of the flow is displayed so that alignment becomes easier
