Along with the new additions above we have also included confidence intervals for CONTRAST output in one-way ANOVA, added bootstrapping and multiple imputation to Proportions, and made an enhancement to multiple imputation predictive mean matching to enable the ability to choose the number of potential matching cases.
Usability Improvements
Session Management: Restore Points
This extension to the auto-recovery functionality introduced in SPSS Statistics 27.0.0.0 allows users to save a point in time in their analysis that users can revert back to if needed later in the analysis, while still enabling the user to continue down the current analytic path. Session Management is found on the Welcome Dialog on the Restore Points tab next to the Recent Files and Sample Files tabs. On the Restore Points tab users will find both their Auto-Recovery files, as well as saved Restore Points.

Output Enhancements: Editor Experience
Several enhancements were introduced in SPSS Statistics 27.0.1.0 for Chart Builder, as well as the Table & Chart Editors. These improvements decrease the number of clicks needed to get customizable output in the application by utilizing new toolbar additions and experiences.

An improvement to SPSS Statistics Syntax was also introduced in SPSS Statistics 27.0.1.0 which allows users to select variables from the active data set using type ahead functionality. This will improve efficiency in writing scripts and make it easier for users to find the correct variables to reference from the active data set.
