On the SAML page, the "Attribute Update Behavior" section has been moved above the "Attribute Mapping" section. Also, the "Authentication Options" section, if enabled on your instance, has been moved below the "Attribute Mapping" section. This allows for easier user access and a more logical flow.

All new input widgets created in the app editor that may have a label will be created from now on with a label by default, saying "Label" in the app's default locale. This is to encourage best practices with labeling inputs. The label can always still be removed, and this will have no effect on any existing widgets, only newly created ones.

On the workspace page, users are able to generate and download a csv using the list of users.

On the stations page, users can expand the stations and station groups details pane to the left. This should improve the UX.

As part of the transition away from pre-transition runtime, users can now directly go to the trigger with pre-transition runtime.

And as indicated, all account and workspace owners have edit, publish and edit-permission permissions. Also, whenever user attempts to edit the permissions such that they're in danger of locking themselves out (for example, downgrading "Everyone" permission while you don't have an explicit app permission yourself), the permission editing will fail to save and the user will face an error message saying that they can't lock themselves out.

Apps using deprecated pre-transition triggers can no longer be published or restored. These applications must be migrated from the App Overview page for continued long term support.

In the Automations logic editor, icons for List variables now display an icon with the inner element's data type. In addition, the left-hand assets panel now lists the inner properties of Object List variables.

These permissions only have an effect in that app exchange workspace.

Within custom user roles, users can now allow roles to have the ability to edit instance-wide connector and edge device settings via the settings pages.

Users with the roles Application Approver, Application Builder, Application Engineer, Connector Supervisor, and Table Supervisor can now complete the player registration flow.
