Just on the first, I’ll let others reply on the other ones:
Undo is moderately difficult, and didn’t make the cut line for 3.0. It is on our to do list! We basically want to implement an undo that un-does all the triple changes as a result of each user operation; and to ensure that the UI then un-does appropriately.

Is there a way to undo in the visualization tab? Accidentally selecting the wrong incoming/outgoing property can make for a very populated graph! 2. How can I select a portion of the graph in the vis tab? Dragging is panning by default, is there a way to make dragging in the vis window select nodes instead? (like dragging a box around the nodes of interest) 3. A small thing, when using “Add Link To” to connect two nodes, the window that comes up for you to select the property is titled “Select Instance”. It should say Select Property since you are looking for a property not an instance – will be confusing to the novice. 4. It would be helpful if when selecting something, the system displayed at least a partial list of the choices. E.g. when selecting a property (as in #3 above) I’m presented with a blank text box. Once I start to type, it does show me my choices – but not before. If I can’t remember the first letter of the property I’m stuck trying all of them J 5. When using “Add Link To” to connect nodes, after selecting a property, the property label is not displayed on the graph until I move something forcing a refresh. Actually, it might put it on the graph but it’s not near the arrow – it’s on the edge, out of sight somewhere. 6. How do I see the SPARQL query that is generated by the query builder? I’m seeing some unexpected results and in the old version I could see the query and paste it into Composer to see what it’s doing. 7. When using “Load All” to see all query results, the window that pops up to show the progress does not automatically close when it is finished and still shows only a “cancel” button. The window should close when the operation completes. Unexpected Results Example Doing the simple query in Ensemble: Article0 ->(publication Type)-> “Article” where “Article” is an instance of PublicationType, results in one extra result row as compared to running the query in Composer: SELECT * { ?art a lit:Article . ?art lit:publicationType lit:PUBLICATIONTYPE_ARTICLE . ?art rdfs:label ?t . } It appears as “Article0” in the results grid. Somehow the variable is returned in the results as an instance??? Also, I am experiencing increasing slowness in the performance of Ensemble the more I do. I haven’t had the time to try and isolate what is causing it but Ensemble will no longer update the Form tab when I select an instance in the results grid. Process manager shows Firefox chewing up the CPU and the browser shows “Transferring data from localhost…” at the bottom left. That’s all I have time for today.
