For more information about Adobe Flash end-of-life, see SAS Software and Its Use of the Adobe Flash Player.

New objects have been added. For example, the new key value object can be used to highlight numeric and categorical values in an infographic. - Existing objects have been improved. For example, the pop-up menus now enable you to move objects; sort, replace, or remove data items; and print or share an object.
- New features are available for geo maps. For example, geo maps support animation for all map types.
- There are enhanced parameters. For example, you can have parameters with multiple values, which enable you to use them in a list control.
