Improvements to Onshape - September 18, 2026

V2843 has been teasing the capability in the logs since it dropped but to my knowledge nobody at Onshape has announced anything about it publicly. It might even be a long way off, but I keep an eye on the errorstringenum file for exciting keywords every update.

@NeilCooke with the latest update user needs to exit view only mode to branch. This is an extra step from where we were before this update. I propose allowing the option to create a branch from anytime, including view only. This would save a step from having to load the active workspace to unlock branching capabilities. With this new view only function it is now extra steps to branch, which is a productivity loss.
