Further, new keyword search functionality saves time by facilitating the discovery of appropriate symbols.
• Simplified Map Sharing and Permission Management. Users can now easily adjust sharing permissions with confidence, thanks to new user-friendly display messages that ensure awareness of the consequences of their actions.
