The ITONICS Innovation OS now offers a consistent configuration experience across all visualizations. No matter if you're working in Radar, Matrix, Timeline, Kanban, or List—configuring your view is now unified and with a fresh design. 

Key Features:

• Unified configuration layout: All views now use a shared design system for filters, display settings, and dimension selection. The side drawer layout is consistent, intuitive, and streamlined.
• One-click view actions: Create, duplicate, or manage views via a single View Action Menu.
• Enhanced accessibility: Keyboard navigation, element search repositioning, and dynamic element count make view management faster and more accessible.
• Improved display control: Default system views can now be edited and deleted. Property icons improve recognition, and display configurations are simpler and drag-and-droppable where relevant.
• Explorer now behaves like all other views: The Explorer has been upgraded to follow the same logic as other views. It is no longer tied to specific element types and now allows flexible filtering, sorting, and view saving. Previously saved filters in the Explorer are now available as views.

The new element type needs to contain the properties to be converted. 
• Archive, Comments, and Relations: Optionally archive source elements and carry over comments and relations to the new element.
