Simplified Getting Started Content
Clicking Getting Started in the Navigator now takes you straight to a set of resources that can help new users find the information and training they need. Users no longer see a launch page where they have to choose a product family to see a specific set of content. But if you previously added or edited content in this work area, users still see the link that opens company-specific content.
Updated Oracle ADF Desktop Integration Add-In
You can now download the latest version of the Oracle ADF Desktop Integration add-in, version 5.0.5.21758. In this version, you can use a second add-in installer, adfdi-excel-addin-installer-all-users.msi. Administrators can use this new installer to install the add-in for all users on a given machine. For more information, see How to install the ADF Desktop Integration Add-in for Excel (2681794.1) on My Oracle Support at https://support.oracle.com.

Edit Sandboxes While Importing Migration Sets
You can now edit sandboxes when importing your migration set to the target environment. You can delete and recreate any web service connections and reconfigure mashup URL definitions in the target environment before applying the migration set. Previously, these changes were done in a new sandbox in the target environment after applying the migration set, and then the sandbox was published. But now you no longer need to do these tasks after migration. Moreover, you can use delta migration for all subsequent migrations.
Optimization of Workflow Rule Evaluation
When using BPM Worklist to configure rules, optimize rule evaluation when parent and child attributes are used within the same rule in a workflow by identifying and correcting missing parent child joins in BPM Worklist.
