## Factory CONNECT: Revision History and Pre-Deployment Compare

Factory CONNECT now lets you maintain a detailed history of all revisions made to the configuration for easy tracking of changes over time, including who made the changes and when. Using the **Revision History** feature, you can compare the current version of a configuration with previous versions to identify differences and understand the evolution of users’ work.

The configuration update workflow has also been updated with configuration comparisons built in. Using the **Compare** feature, you can validate changes before deployment to ensure a clear understanding of modifications and enhance connection stability and reliability.

## Factory BUILD: Improved Preview Performance and Usability Improvements

Preview speed is up to 60% faster compared with previous versions, ensuring a smoother and more efficient user experience. Additionally, messaging for empty states within the pipeline previews has been improved. When there is no data to display, you receive clear and informative messages that guide you on to the next steps.

## Factory BUILD: Data Dictionary Panel for Dynamic Operators

Configure dynamic operators more efficiently with a new Data Dictionary panel. The panel provides a convenient view of data dictionary tables, making it easy to reference and utilize relevant data in the configuration. This addition streamlines the workflow and enhances productivity if you are working with dynamic operators.
