1 Undo and redo changes to layouts even after you've saved the
layout or previewed the layout in Browse mode.
1 Screen stencils now include dimensions for the 4-inch screen on
iPhone

1 Show or hide page breaks in Layout mode by choosing View
menu
> Page Breaks.
1 Enhanced effects for layout objects:
1 Shadows and padding – Apply shadows and padding to objects in
the new Advanced Graphic area of the Inspector.
1 New object display states – The fill for the current record in List View
or an active portal row is specified by the Active display state. The
primary and alternate fills in List View or a portal are specified by the
Primary and Alternate display states.
1 Text baseline – New options for modifying text baselines are
available in the Text area (previously in the Graphic area) in the
Inspector.
1 Layout background – Customize the layout background with
full-screen images, colors, or gradients.
1 Improved object moving and resizing:
1 Duplicating objects with “snap-to” – When you Ctrl-drag (Windows)
or Option-drag (OS
X) to duplicate an object, the duplicated object
“snaps to” the grid, guides, or dynamic guides as needed.
1 Resizing multiple objects – Resizing multiple objects maintains the
difference in objects’ lengths or widths, and opposite edges of the
objects remain fixed in position.
1 Dynamic guides – Dynamic guides appear when you use the
keyboard arrow keys to move objects on a layout.
Sharing and collaboration
1 Upload files to FileMaker Server – Upload FileMaker Pro databases
and externally stored container data to FileMaker Server.
1 FileMaker WebDirect™ – Use FileMaker WebDirect technology to
access layouts from FileMaker Pro databases in a web browser.

FileMaker WebDirect Guide.
