Release Updates
Release 9.0
Workspace connections to S3 are easier
Beginning in this release, when you create a new workspace, connecting it to S3 is now possible through the standard Connections interface. Select the Amazon S3 connection card in the Connections window and fill out the form.
Note
This form-based method of connection is available in workspace-mode only for this release.
For more information, see Amazon S3 Connections.
Tip
You can create additional connections to other non-default S3 buckets. For more information, see External S3 Connections.
S3 connectivity enabled by default
Beginning in this release, any newly created workspaces automatically have basic S3 connectivity enabled by default.
Workspace users must still create and configure connections to S3 for both the base storage layer and any external S3 buckets.
S3 connectivity does not appear in the Import Data page until a valid connection to S3 has been created.
Note
The S3 connectivity setting for existing workspaces is unaffected by this change.
In Workspace Settings, the following setting enables or disables S3 connectivity:

Release 7.10
Ability to list users is now configurable
Beginning in this release, workspace administrators can choose whether or not individual users are able to see lists of all users in the workspace. When enabled, for example, users who are trying to share their flows can review the list of all workspace users from which they can select the users to share.
