In ARES Electrical 2027 SP0, the Library Palettes have been enhanced with a new card-based widget for displaying component information.

When a library item is selected, it now expands directly within the palette tree to show a contextual card with key details such as preview, tags, part number, and quick actions. This improvement provides a more modern, intuitive, and efficient way to explore and use library components.


New Card-Based Widget

With the new implementation, selecting a component in the Library Palette expands it into a contextual card directly within the tree.

The card includes:

  • Component preview

  • Custom Properties

  • Quick actions, such as:

    • Insert

    • Replace

    • Library Properties

The expansion is accompanied by smooth animations, helping maintain visual clarity and reinforcing the connection between the selected item and its details.


Improved Workflow

By displaying all relevant information next to the selected component, users can now:

  • Quickly review component details without switching panels

  • Perform actions directly from the palette

  • Maintain focus within the current workflow context

This reduces interruptions and improves overall usability when working with large component libraries.
