Don't miss out on the latest and greatest new features in Construct Animate
Notes
It's the start of a new release cycle of Construct, and we have some big new features for you! The new Instance Bar is a new part of the user interface that allows viewing instances and hierarchies in the project with a dedicated tree view. This makes it easier to review information and do things like drag-and-drop to rearrange hierarchies. It also has different modes to help view things like template information, timelines, plugins and more. You can show it by selecting Menu - View - Bars - Instances Bar.
Other new features include instance tags - a built-in way to assign multiple tags to individual instances. This can be a more useful way to identify instances than the UID, and also provides a way for the editor user interface to more helpfully identify instances.
As ever there's a range of other changes, improvements, and bug fixes. Happy testing!
