This interface, along with an overall cleaner UI, will make it easier for you to review errors and logs. Additionally, we\u2019ve added a copy-to-clipboard button (in the top-right corner of the console) so that you can copy the console output to your clipboard to review it elsewhere or save it for later.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-2860\" src=\"https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/microsoft365dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2019\/04\/Image-redone-300x202.png\" alt=\"An Object-Browser interface has been added to the console\" width=\"300\" height=\"202\" srcset=\"https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/microsoft365dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2019\/04\/Image-redone-300x202.png 300w, https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/microsoft365dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2019\/04\/Image-redone.png 763w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Search for samples<\/h3>\n<p>Searching for your favorite samples has never been easier with the recently added sample search bar. Instead of having to sift through all the samples to find the one you were looking for, you can use the search bar to look for a sample based on the category, name, or description of the sample.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-2855\" src=\"https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/microsoft365dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2019\/04\/Sample-search-bar.png\" alt=\"Search for samples based on the category, name, or description of the sample\" width=\"496\" height=\"567\" srcset=\"https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/microsoft365dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2019\/04\/Sample-search-bar.png 596w, https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/microsoft365dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2019\/04\/Sample-search-bar-263x300.png 263w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 496px) 100vw, 496px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Pop-out editor<\/h3>\n<p>Currently, in Desktop and Mac, you can resize the task pane so that you have more space to code, but in Office Online apps like Excel Online\u00a0 you cannot. To work around this limitation in Office Online, we\u2019ve added a way for you to pop-out the editor in a separate window\u00a0. Once you\u2019ve finished editing the code in the pop-out editor, you can use the Run task pane to execute your code on the document.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-2854\" src=\"https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/microsoft365dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2019\/04\/Run-task-pain.png\" alt=\"By clicking on the pop-out icon in the top right corner, you can open the editor in a separate window\" width=\"305\" height=\"187\" srcset=\"https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/microsoft365dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2019\/04\/Run-task-pain.png 505w, https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/microsoft365dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2019\/04\/Run-task-pain-300x184.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 305px) 100vw, 305px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-2852\" src=\"https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/microsoft365dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2019\/04\/Code-editor.png\" alt=\"Code editor\" width=\"756\" height=\"398\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Bug fixes<\/h3>\n<p>We\u2019ve also fixed several issues that the Script Lab community has brought to our attention (e.g. the \u00a0GitHub authentication issues) and have enabled IntelliSense for some libraries that you might add, like Lodash\u00a0. If you\u2019ve used Script Lab recently, you\u2019ll\u00a0 also notice considerable performance and stability improvements.<\/p>\n<p>Happy Coding!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Announcing some exciting Script Lab improvements!
