Improvements

Enhanced Visibility for Labels in Deployment Targets Table

Labels added via the API are now also visible in the UI together with the annotations map in the Deployment Targets table. This is a UI enhancement which does not impact workflow functionality, but provides additional visibility to make resource management easier.

Expand and Collapse SQL Script List for Improved Usability

We have implemented a new feature that allows users to expand or collapse the SQL script list panel. Collapsing the panel gives users an expanded view of the SQL editor. Users can also expand or collapse the panel while navigating through the SQL script list.

This is a usability enhancement that improves the accessibility and functionality of the SQL editor, and enhances the overall user experience. It means that users can efficiently search for historical scripts without disrupting their workflow or usability experience.

How it was before:
