    - Publish Mimics to Operations Hub directly from CIMPLICITY
      You can publish a Mimic to Operations Hub directly from CIMPLICITY. This eliminates the two-step process of publishing a Mimic by exporting a screen as a Mimic zip file from the CIMPLICITY server and then importing the Mimic zip file to Operations Hub. Publishing a Mimic to Operations Hub directly from CIMPLICITY is especially useful when you want to publish multiple CimEdit screens simultaneously. You can configure Operations Hub at the project level and globally to avoid configuring it while publishing Mimics. This task describes how to configure Operations Hub at the project level. (Previously, to configure Operations Hub, we selected Operations Hub Configuration in the OPC UA Server tab in the Project Properties window. This has now been updated as mentioned in the procedure below. )
    - Publish Model to Operations Hub directly from CIMPLICITY
      You can publish a Model to Operations Hub directly from CIMPLICITY. This eliminates the two-step process of publishing a Model by first exporting the model data as a .csv file from the CIMPLICITY server and then importing the .csv file to Operations Hub. You can publish a Model to Operations Hub directly from CIMPLICITY only on versions of Operations Hub 2.2 and later. The Workbench application may become unresponsive during the process of publishing a Model to Operations Hub. Model data consists of classes, objects, points, and details of OPC UA and Historian servers. Model data is also project-specific, where the details configured will apply to the last updated project.
