241The legacy DevTools extension used to add significant performance overhead, making it unusable for some larger React applications. That overhead has been effectively eliminated in version 4.
242
243[Learn more](https://github.com/facebook/react/blob/master/packages/react-devtools/OVERVIEW.md) about the performance optimizations that made this possible.
244
245#### Component stacks
246
247React component authors have often requested a way to log warnings that include the React ["component stack"](https://reactjs.org/docs/error-boundaries.html#component-stack-traces). DevTools now provides an option to automatically append this information to warnings (`console.warn`) and errors (`console.error`).
248
249![Example console warning with component stack added](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/29597/62228120-eec3da80-b371-11e9-81bb-018c1e577389.png)
250
251It can be disabled in the general settings panel:

254
255### Components tree changes
256
257#### Component filters
258
259Large component trees can sometimes be hard to navigate. DevTools now provides a way to filter components so that you can hide ones you're not interested in seeing.
260
261![Component filter demo video](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/29597/62229209-0bf9a880-b374-11e9-8f84-cebd6c1a016b.gif)
262
263Host nodes (e.g. HTML `<div>`, React Native `View`) are now hidden by default, but you can see them by disabling that filter.
264
265Filter preferences are remembered between sessions.
266
267#### No more inline props
268
269Components in the tree no longer show inline props. This was done to [make DevTools faster](https://github.com/facebook/react/blob/master/packages/react-devtools/OVERVIEW.md) and to make it easier to browse larger component trees.
270
271You can view a component's props, state, and hooks by selecting it:
272
273![Inspecting props](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/29597/62303001-37da6400-b430-11e9-87fd-10a94df88efa.png)
274
275#### "Rendered by" list
276
277In React, an element's "owner" refers to the thing that rendered it. Sometimes an element's parent is also its owner, but usually they're different. This distinction is important because props come from owners.
278
279![Example code](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/29597/62229551-bbcf1600-b374-11e9-8411-8ff411f4f847.png)
280
281When you are debugging an unexpected prop value, you can save time if you skip over the parents.
282
283DevTools v4 adds a new "rendered by" list in the right hand pane that allows you to quickly step through the list of owners to speed up your debugging.
284
285![Example video showing the "rendered by" list](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/29597/62229747-4152c600-b375-11e9-9930-3f6b3b92be7a.gif)
286
287#### Owners tree
288
289The inverse of the "rendered by" list is called the "owners tree". It is the list of things rendered by a particular component- (the things it "owns"). This view is kind of like looking at the source of the component's render method, and can be a helpful way to explore large, unfamiliar React applications.
290
291Double click a component to view the owners tree and click the "x" button to return to the full component tree:
292
293![Demo showing "owners tree" feature](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/29597/62229452-84f90000-b374-11e9-818a-61eec6be0bb4.gif)
294
295#### No more horizontal scrolling
296
297Deeply nested components used to require both vertical and horizontal scrolling to see, making it easy to "get lost" within large component trees. DevTools now dynamically adjusts nesting indentation to eliminate horizontal scrolling.
298
299![Video demonstration dynamic indentation to eliminate horizontal scrolling](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/29597/62246661-f8ad0400-b398-11e9-885f-284f150a6d76.gif)
300
301#### Improved hooks support
302
303Hooks now have the same level of support as props and state: values can be edited, arrays and objects can be drilled into, etc.
304
305![Video demonstrating hooks support](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/29597/62230532-d86c4d80-b376-11e9-8629-1b2129b210d6.gif)
306
307#### Improved search UX
308
309Legacy DevTools search filtered the components tree to show matching nodes as roots. This made the overall structure of the application harder to reason about, because it displayed ancestors as siblings.
310
311Search results are now shown inline similar to the browser's find-in-page search.
312
313![Video demonstrating the search UX](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/29597/62230923-c63edf00-b377-11e9-9f95-aa62ddc8f62c.gif)
314
315#### Higher order components
316
317[Higher order components](https://reactjs.org/docs/higher-order-components.html) (or HOCs) often provide a [custom `displayName`](https://reactjs.org/docs/higher-order-components.html#convention-wrap-the-display-name-for-easy-debugging) following a convention of `withHOC(InnerComponentName)` in order to make it easier to identify components in React warnings and in DevTools.
318
319The new Components tree formats these HOC names (along with several built-in utilities like `React.memo` and `React.forwardRef`) as a special badge to the right of the decorated component name.
320
321![Screenshot showing HOC badges](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/29597/62302774-c4385700-b42f-11e9-9ef4-49c5f18d6276.png)
322
323Components decorated with multiple HOCs show the topmost badge and a count. Selecting the component shows all of the HOCs badges in the properties panel.
324
325![Screenshot showing a component with multiple HOC badges](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/29597/62303729-7fadbb00-b431-11e9-8685-45f5ab52b30b.png)
326
327#### Restoring selection between reloads
328
329DevTools now attempts to restore the previously selected element when you reload the page.
330
331![Video demonstrating selection persistence](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/810438/63130054-2c02ac00-bfb1-11e9-92fa-382e9e433638.gif)
332
333#### Suspense toggle
334
335React's experimental [Suspense API](https://reactjs.org/docs/react-api.html#suspense) lets components "wait" for something before rendering. `<Suspense>` components can be used to specify loading states when components deeper in the tree are waiting to render.
336
337DevTools lets you test these loading states with a new toggle:
338
339![Video demonstrating suspense toggle UI](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/29597/62231446-e15e1e80-b378-11e9-92d4-086751dc65fc.gif)
340
341### Profiler changes
342
343#### Reload and profile
344
345The profiler is a powerful tool for performance tuning React components. Legacy DevTools supported profiling, but only after it detected a profiling-capable version of React. Because of this there was no way to profile the initial _mount_ (one of the most performance sensitive parts) of an application.
346
347This feature is now supported with a "reload and profile" action:
348
349![Video demonstrating the reload-and-profile feature](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/29597/62233455-7a8f3400-b37d-11e9-9563-ec334bfb2572.gif)
350
351#### Import/export
352
353Profiler data can now be exported and shared with other developers to enable easier collaboration.
354
355![Video demonstrating exporting and importing profiler data](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/29597/62233911-6566d500-b37e-11e9-9052-692378c92538.gif)
356
357Exports include all commits, timings, interactions, etc.
358
359#### "Why did this render?"
360
361"Why did this render?" is a common question when profiling. The profiler now helps answer this question by recording which props and state change between renders.
362
363![Video demonstrating profiler "why did this render?" feature](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/29597/62234698-0f932c80-b380-11e9-8cf3-a5183af0c388.gif)
364
365Because this feature adds a small amount of overhead, it can be disabled in the profiler settings panel.
366
367#### Component renders list
368
369The profiler now displays a list of each time the selected component rendered during a profiling session, along with the duration of each render. This list can be used to quickly jump between commits when analyzing the performance of a specific component.
370
371![Video demonstrating profiler's component renders list](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/29597/62234547-bcb97500-b37f-11e9-9615-54fba8b574b9.gif)
