table summary of new features

Feature	What's New?
64-Bit Version	Analyzer is now a 64-bit application. This is beneficial because 64-bit applications provide better access to your computer's memory (RAM). This is especially useful if you have a large project or often work with multiple files at once, because Analyzer will run faster and more efficiently.
Advanced Sorting—Tables	You can sort tables using advanced options, choosing which columns to sort first. In addition, you can sort tables in this manner immediately, when the target is generated, or both.
Assign Master Page per Topic	You can associate a master page with individual topics, which is beneficial if you want some topics to use one master page and other topics to use a different master page. See Associating Master Pages with Topics.
Assign Stylesheets per Topic	Associate stylesheets with specific content files. Generally, local stylesheets take precedence over master stylesheets.
Conditions on Styles	Associate a condition with a style by using the mc-conditions property in the Advanced View of the Stylesheet Editor.
File Issues Per Target	You can now view file issues for a specific target, rather than only for an entire project. See Viewing Issues for Specific Files.
Help—Live or Local	Analyzer's online and dynamic Help system has changed, pointing to files hosted externally. This allows for live updates to the Help. Also, there is a new local Help option that lets you view Help located on your computer instead. See Dynamic Help Window Pane.
Insert Variable Button	In many places throughout the Analyzer interface, you will find that you can now insert a variable where text can be added. In most cases, this is indicated by the presence of the Insert Variable button . For one example of this, see Editing Text Hyperlinks.
Link to Styles	When creating a link, you can point to content using a particular style. This can be done in when you are creating text hyperlinks or cross-references.
Report Editor	There is a new section called "Target," which lets you keep track of the following target-specific information: condition tags not set, variables not overridden, and word count. 'Topics with Snippet Variables' has also been added for report generation. See About Reports.
Smart Quotes per Language	Analyzer now replaces quotes based on your project's current language. Additionally, if you are using a different language in a specific topic or tag, Analyzer will use the correct smart quote for that language setting. See Using Smart Quotes.
Snippet Conditions	If you are going to use the same snippet multiple times in a single topic, you can apply snippet conditions at the snippet level. Snippet conditions at the snippet level override snippet conditions applied at the topic level. A snippet conditional indicator marker in XML Editor shows where snippet conditions have been used. See Using Snippet Conditions.
Snippet Variables	Not only can you override variable definitions at the target level, but you can also override variables that appear within snippets at the topic or snippet level. See Overriding Variable Definitions in Snippets.
Snippets—Pinned and Recently Used	In the Insert New Snippet dialog, new options allow you to select from pinned (favorite) snippets or the 20 most recently used snippets. See Replacing Snippets.
Stylesheet Editor Redesign	The Stylesheet Editor has undergone a complete redesign, including the following new features: Redesigned properties pane, including alphabetical and grouped views and expand/collapse options Multiple medium views Add Selector button Media queries Multi-select and delete
System Variables use Language in Project	When displayed in Analyzer, system variables no longer use the language of the operating system. Instead, the language set in the Flare project is used, whether the language is set in a tag, in the target, or at the project level. See Creating Custom Date/Time Variables.
Topics With Snippet Conditions	The location of snippet conditions is now shown in this window pane and report. This helps to determine whether a snippet condition is applied at a topic level (html) or content level (MadCap:snippetBlock). The Used Snippet report will now show snippet conditions used in a file. See About Reports. See Viewing Files with Snippet Conditions.
Undefined… Conditions Glossary term links Styles Variables	If you have an undefined element (condition, glossary term link, style, variable), you can now open a dialog to do one of the following: Replace the undefined element with a new one. Map the undefined element to an existing one. See Viewing Undefined Condition Tags. See Viewing Undefined Glossary Term Links. See Viewing Undefined Styles. See Viewing Undefined Variables.
XML Editor Enhancements	You can now select additional layout modes in the XML Editor, which allows you to see how content will look in Tablet or Mobile mode as well as in Web or Print mode. You can also now select style IDs in addition to style classes. Additionally, if an author used responsive layout styles in a topic, you will be able to see this content in the XML Editor.
