The editor gained a choice between the local and the server clipboard, scrollable drop-down lists for large data sources, a ribbon group for the page background and frame, zoom options and switches for table grid lines and control characters. Its Frame Formatting group shows the name and ID of bound objects. See [TX Text Control X14 Service Pack 1 Deployed to ReportingCloud Portal and API](https://www.textcontrol.com/blog/2017/02/07/tx-text-control-x14-service-pack-1-deployed-to-reportingcloud-portal-and-api/). ### Web API - **API keys (December 29).** Requests can authenticate with an API key instead of a user name and password. An account has up to 10 keys, created and deleted in Manage Account or with [PUT /v1/account/apikey](https://docs.textcontrol.com/reporting-cloud/reference/web-api/account/apikey/put/llms-full.txt), [DELETE /v1/account/apikey](https://docs.textcontrol.com/reporting-cloud/reference/web-api/account/apikey/delete/llms-full.txt) and [GET /v1/account/apikeys](https://docs.textcontrol.com/reporting-cloud/reference/web-api/account/apikeys/get/llms-full.txt). The .NET SDKs supported them the same day, the PHP SDK from version 1.6.0 of January 14, 2018. See [API Keys](https://docs.textcontrol.com/reporting-cloud/installation/api-keys/llms-full.txt) and [ReportingCloud: Introducing API Keys for Client Authentication](https://www.textcontrol.com/blog/2017/12/29/reportingcloud-introducing-api-keys/). - **Culture (October 13).** The merge setting `culture`, such as `de-DE`, formats currency and date fields for a language; the default is `en-US`. See [Culture](https://docs.textcontrol.com/reporting-cloud/mail-merge/culture/llms-full.txt) and [ReportingCloud: Setting the Culture for Date and Currency Fields](https://www.textcontrol.com/blog/2017/10/13/reportingcloud-setting-the-culture-for-date-and-currency-fields/). - **Document sharing beta (October 5).** [GET /v1/document/share](https://docs.textcontrol.com/reporting-cloud/reference/web-api/document/share/get/llms-full.txt) returns an encrypted name under which a viewer widget shows a document of the template storage on any website. The feature left its beta on January 8, 2018. See [Sharing Documents](https://docs.textcontrol.com/reporting-cloud/document-processing/sharing/llms-full.txt) and [Sharing Documents with ReportingCloud](https://www.textcontrol.com/blog/2017/10/05/sharing-documents-with-reportingcloud/). - **Spell checking (August 23).** [GET /v1/proofing/check](https://docs.textcontrol.com/reporting-cloud/reference/web-api/proofing/check/get/llms-full.txt), [GET /v1/proofing/suggestions](https://docs.textcontrol.com/reporting-cloud/reference/web-api/proofing/suggestions/get/llms-full.txt) and [GET /v1/proofing/availabledictionaries](https://docs.textcontrol.com/reporting-cloud/reference/web-api/proofing/availabledictionaries/get/llms-full.txt) made the spell checking of the template editor, with more than 50 dictionaries at the time, available to any application. See [Spell Checking](https://docs.textcontrol.com/reporting-cloud/document-processing/spell-checking/llms-full.txt) and [Proofing Tools Available As ReportingCloud Web API Endpoints](https://www.textcontrol.com/blog/2017/08/23/proofing-tools-available-as-reportingcloud-web-api-endpoints/). - **Google Fonts (August 22).** More than 2,000 Google Fonts were installed on the servers: templates can use them, and the template editor and [GET /v1/fonts/list](https://docs.textcontrol.com/reporting-cloud/reference/web-api/fonts/list/get/llms-full.txt) list them. See [Supported File Formats](https://docs.textcontrol.com/reporting-cloud/overview/file-formats/#fonts) and [All Google Fonts Now Available in ReportingCloud](https://www.textcontrol.com/blog/2017/08/22/all-google-fonts-now-available-in-reportingcloud/). - **HTML in merge fields (August 21).** With the merge setting `mergeHtml`, field data enclosed in an `` element is formatted with ``, `` and ``. See [HTML Content](https://docs.textcontrol.com/reporting-cloud/mail-merge/html-content/llms-full.txt) and [New ReportingCloud MergeSettings Option: Merge HTML Content into Merge Fields](https://www.textcontrol.com/blog/2017/08/21/new-reportingcloud-mergesettings-option-merge-html-content-into-merge-fields/). - **Font list (March 29).** [GET /v1/fonts/list](https://docs.textcontrol.com/reporting-cloud/reference/web-api/fonts/list/get/llms-full.txt) returns the names of the fonts that templates can use.

See [Template Storage](https://docs.textcontrol.com/reporting-cloud/portal/templates/llms-full.txt) and [ReportingCloud: Sample Template Gallery Launched](https://www.textcontrol.com/blog/2017/09/03/reportingcloud-sample-template-gallery-launched/). - **Template preview (April 22).** The portal previewed stored templates in an ASP.NET MVC DocumentViewer, with page thumbnails, text selection and search. See [New ASP.NET MVC DocumentViewer Rolled out to the ReportingCloud Portal](https://www.textcontrol.com/blog/2017/04/22/new-aspnet-mvc-documentviewer-rolled-out-to-the-reportingcloud-portal/). - **Groups (March 17).** Accounts with the Extreme plan can create groups, assign templates to them and invite template designers who edit only the templates of their group. See [Template Storage](https://docs.textcontrol.com/reporting-cloud/portal/templates/#share-templates-with-template-designers) and [Introducing Groups for ReportingCloud Extreme Users](https://www.textcontrol.com/blog/2017/03/17/introducing-groups-for-reportingcloud-extreme-users/). ### SDKs - **.NET Core package (August 28).** The package `TXTextControl.ReportingCloud.Core` brought the .NET SDK to .NET Core on Windows, macOS and Linux.
