What's new

New Previewer Form Factors

The new previewer now lets you select from a set of common screen sizes so you can more easily see what your UI will look like on different devices. With this change, we've also now officially moved the new previewer out of its experimental designation and marked the old version as deprecated. If you do find something that means you need to use the legacy previewer, please let us know so that we can make sure the new version supports your scenario. This is available with licenses that include the Complete Edition of the tools.
