New Features

Summary	Details
GUI - Introduction of Tutorial feature	The Tutorial is an interactive guide to help you understand the various features available in CAST Imaging. It provides an application walkthrough using three major steps to explain application architecture, drill down capabilities and annotations. Each step has a set of actions defined for you to work through. Certain actions also have a help button to identify the elements. Following all the steps and actions will provide a better understanding of the core CAST Imaging capabilities. See also https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/User+Guide+-+Tutorial.

Once the links have been generated (see https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/Admin+Center+-+System+of+Systems) from the admin panel, the System of Systems entry point is activated. The view presents connected applications with the ability to drill down and further investigate its objects, methods, and the technologies and protocols by which they are connected. See https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/User+Guide+-+System+of+Systems+mode.
GUI - Introduction of Service mode	The Service mode enables you to view the microservices in your selected application. See https://doc.castsoftware.com/display/IMAGING/User+Guide+-+Service+scope.
