August 2024 Product Release Notes

We have a few updates to share from the past two months. Please see the list below for information about these updates:

Researcher Workbench Features & Updates:

• Community Workspaces - now workspace owners have the ability to self-publish their workspace within the Researcher Workbench. Community workspaces open a new way to foster knowledge-sharing, collaboration, and learning within the community of researchers using the Researcher Workbench across the world.
