Many thanks to Pepijn van Teeffelen, who has made a step-by-step guide. Please look under Extra > Step-by-step

Want to quickly look for a word or constituent category? Use simple searching from the menu: Search/Simple.
Simple searching can be extended to including a lemma.
It's now super easy to save a simple search under a new name (Dec 6, 2018).
Relation wizard: simply add related constituents. Their syntactic categories and contents are immediately available in the output features (Feb 1, 2019).

The list-view of searches (Search/List) has been renewed. The old view is still visible by clicking 'Recent' and 'more...'.

The new view allows grouping searches:

• Define a group through Search/SearchGroups
• Specify the group a project belongs to in the Project's About section

A new feature of Cesar is the downloading and uploading of functions. This concerns functions that are specified for any of the following three types:

• Data dependant variable (cvar)
• Condition
• Output feature

The following two operations are supported:

• Download: navigate to the data-dependant variable, the condition or the feature. Then select either the view or the view as table button. The top of the function's tabular view contains a download button. Use it to download the function as a .json file onto your computer (store it with the other data for your research).
• Upload: Create a new data-dependant variable, condition or feature. Provide it with a name and description. Then as type (condition type, feature type) specify Upload JSON. An input section opens up with a Browse... button. Click it, select the .json file that you would like to upload, and that's it.

Note: this feature is a recent implementation, and although it has been tested in several different ways, make sure you have a downloaded .json copy of your research project before making use of it.

It is now possible to create projects that start out with a constituent defined by its grammatical category (i.e. its POS tag)
