Welcome to the new release! Let's not waste any time, and instead jump right in to some new features.
This provides more useful information when searching through your browser history as well.
An additional confirmation prompt has been added before making a document public, when accessed from the right-click menu of the Documents page. Additionally, the Public tab of the Share dialog includes a new, bolder warning. Both changes aim to increase awareness and security around public documents, and prevent this option from accidentally being enabled.
NOTE: These options have no impact on Enterprise licenses, as an Enterprise-owned document cannot be made public.
CUSTOM WATERMARK TEXT FOR RELEASE MANAGEMENT
You can now customize the text of your Release management watermark, depending on the state. Changes can be made from the Enterprise settings, under Release management
ANALYTICS - OBSOLETION DASHBOARD
A new Obsoletion dashboard has been added. This provides valuable insights about obsoletion activity and where obsoleted revisions are in use in your current designs.
GENERAL IMPROVEMENTS
EDIT MATE CONNECTOR IN DIALOG
You can now move or realign a Mate connector directly from within the Mate (and almost any other) dialog. Previously, this edit would have to occur after creating the feature.SEARCH WITHIN ACTIVE FOLDER
Document search now defaults to showing results only from the current folder. You can also chose to exclude subfolders when searching.COPY DOCUMENT TO FOLDER
When making a copy of a workspace, you may now select a specific folder in which to place the copy.BROWSER TAB SHOWS FOLDER LOCATION
When on the Documents page, your browser tab now correctly shows the name of the folder location you have navigated to. Previously, it displayed "Documents" whether you were on the home page or in a folder.This provides more useful information when searching through your browser history as well.
ACTION ITEMS REFERENCE VERSION OR WORKSPACE
Assigned Action items now clearly indicate which workspace or version they are referencing directly on the Action items page.
CONFIRMATION BEFORE MAKING A DOCUMENT PUBLIC
An additional confirmation prompt has been added before making a document public, when accessed from the right-click menu of the Documents page. Additionally, the Public tab of the Share dialog includes a new, bolder warning. Both changes aim to increase awareness and security around public documents, and prevent this option from accidentally being enabled.NOTE: These options have no impact on Enterprise licenses, as an Enterprise-owned document cannot be made public.

Search scope following folder also something I've wanted for a long time.
Today the search applies to the entire company domain and not just a subfolder that the user would preselect in order to limit and speed up the search:
SEARCH WITHIN ACTIVE FOLDER.
Yah Yah Yah!
- Improved mate connection placement on 3D curves
Works great with geometry belonging to the same body. Hopefully realignment options will come in the future.I especially like the option to edit the text of the watermarks. For those of us who use Onshape in Spanish, being able to define custom options in these texts is important. Just as if we could define in the hole annotations "Pasante" or "Por todo" instead of "THRU" in English.

Partner de PTC - Onshape Averigua a quién conocemos en común
It opens to the main menu, but then no matter what design I click on, it immediately crashes before it opens the design.
Any ideas how I can continue running OnShape on my Pixelbook?
EDIT: It turns out that my Pixelbook was on the "Dev Channel" so I could run the Linux terminal, so I switched it back to the "Stable Channel" and now OnShape works great again. Sorry for the noise!
I have one small improvement wish for this, please always show the blue comment balloon when "Show Expressions" are on, independently from the comments window.
