Saving All VIs in a Project for a Previous Version of LabVIEW

You can configure LabVIEW to automatically save all VIs in a project for a previous version of LabVIEW. If a VI contains features not compatible with the designated version, LabVIEW displays a warning and saves the VI for the earliest version that supports all features in that VI.

Improvements to Comparing Vis

You can click an item in the differences list or details list to highlight it.
You can use the left and right arrow keys to move between the differences list and the details list, and you can use the up and down arrow keys to move through the differences and details.
In the Differences dialog box, a difference appears italicized if it involves only front panel position/size changes or block diagram cosmetic changes.
The diagrams can automatically scale to fit an entire difference.
You can swap the positions of the compared VIs by selecting More commands » Swap VI Positions in the Differences dialog box.
