Development component naming convention streamlined |
Changed |
The names of development components can now include slashes, in order to support segmentation. As a result, the prefix property (DC prefix) in the development-component file system is no longer in use. For development components created previously with the prefix, the segment is automatically added before the development-component name, followed by a slash (such as vendor/prefix/name). Note Development component names cannot end with reserved Web Dynpro suffixes, such as _impl, or name segments, such as _comp. End of the note. |
Save a copy of a development component in the local repository |
New |
You can now right-click any development component, choose Save As from the context menu, and create a copy of the component in the local repository. More information: Saving a Copy of a Model or Development Component Note This feature is available in the browser version of Visual Composer only. End of the note. |
