We are happy to announce that we have published support for the configuration and use of Inductive Automation Ignition 8 with Copia Git-based Source Control!  This support is based on the "Ignition 8 Deployment Best Practices", but is adapted to working with Copia as your Git provider.

As we continue to expand our vendor support, we hope this provides the resources you need to get started quickly with your Ignition 8 configuration.

To find out more about this configuration, see our product documentation.

Now you can see what major features Copia has "In Progress", "In Planning" and "Under Consideration"!  You can find this information at the top of the Announcement widget and page.  Click on the "Upcoming Announcements" link and it will expand to show the major features we are working on.

As always, if you have additional feature requests, submit them via our Feature Request submission form.

Just in time for the holidays, Copia has released the new and improved Rockwell Advanced Tag Merge!🎅🎄 

Rockwell Advanced Tag Merge allows you to selectively choose and merge tags from each branch when conflicts arise. No more manual tag merging or choosing all tags from one branch. You can now pick which tag changes are most important and merge them all in one operation.

We hope this improves your experience and streamlines your review process! Read more about this new feature in our product documentation.

By popular request, we have added rendering support for CODESYS .library files.  You can now see differences in these files in a similar manner to your .project files.  

This should allow you to make better decisions based on changes made, and more quickly review changes proposed during Pull Requests and code reviews.

More information about this feature can be found in the product Documentation.

Need to quickly e-mail a report to a customer or a peer?  We have now added the ability to generate a diff report for Rockwell Studio 5000 Logix Designer!

At the top right of the diff in the Copia Web App, just select Generate Report.

Once selected, you will go to a preview screen that will allow you to adjust settings, provide useful data, and highlight the changes.  You can then send them to the PDF or other printer of your choice.

Read more about it in our Documentation, and keep submitting those feature requests.  The more we hear from you, the better our product will be!

We have released a new version of the Copia desktop app! This release includes various bug fixes, and updates, as well as the integration of a new indicator for the auto-archiving process for Siemens Step7 TIA portal. 

DeviceLink provides data protection, disaster recovery, change detection, notification, and visibility for your automation assets.  

With current support for Rockwell, FANUC, CODESYS, Beckhoff and FTP-based devices, DeviceLink offers extensive coverage to protect your assets.  In addition, DeviceLink allows you to automate your own backup scripts, allowing you to be in control of what and how you backup additional devices.  

Come and learn more about how DeviceLink can improve your automation workflow at https://www.copia.io/devicelink!

We have updated our Desktop App, to include Release Notes, User Profile data and Product Updates!  

As seen in the image below, once logged into the Copia desktop, your profile image will be displayed on the right side of the app.  In addition, a Product Updates megaphone is also available, and will be highlighted with a Red Dot, when new product updates are announced.  By clicking the icon, you will be taken to the Copia product announcements page.

Also, any time we provide a new Desktop App update, we will now provide Release Notes via a "What's New" link at the top of the app.

As we continue to enhance our product, we will continue to update and improve the Desktop user experience.  Tell us what you think and keep those feature requests coming!

Copia has released the ability to easily "Restore from any Commit", within the Desktop App. 

This means that if you make a change that you later regret, you can easily restore a prior commit. To use this feature, simply navigate to the "History" tab for the relevant commit. From there, you can right-click on the commit that you want to restore, and click the "Restore from Commit" button. 

For more information, see our documentation!

We hope that this new feature will make Copia even more useful for our users. As always, if you have any questions or feedback, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at contact@copia.io.

We are happy to announce formal support for Rockwell RSLogix 5000 v16-20!  As a result, Copia can provide better support for earlier versions of Rockwell software/firmware, by utilizing the RSLogix 5000 software (versus the later Studio 5000 Logix Designer) for Copia advanced features supporting their projects (such as display and differences).

This includes full support of displaying the project and differences, as well as, Rung Commenting, and Merge support*.

See our documentation for more information.

* Merge supported for v20 only
