In the previous version, we enabled users to publish and maintain the browser directly to Visual Paradigm Server / Visual Paradigm Online.

In addition to the existing options "Show All," "Show Non-Empty," and "Hide All," users can now select specific tagged values to display within a shape. This feature empowers users with finer control over the presentation of tagged values, streamlining diagram clarity and customization.
Visual Paradigm Server's branch feature has long provided users with the capability to execute and isolate design changes effectively. In our latest version, we've bolstered this functionality by introducing enhanced support for change request management workflows. Here's how it works:
