We're also introducing user limits to instances, the ability to convert snapshotted connectors, and more secure expiration times for account-generated links. In addition, there are several UI improvements and bug fixes throughout the platform. Let us know your thoughts and questions in the [Tulip Community](https://community.tulip.co/t/release-280-may-2024/11608). ## Automations Updates - Automations can now be manually tested by clicking on the new **Test** button on the automations editor. ![r280 Test Automation Modal](https://cdn.document360.io/7c6ff534-cad3-4fc8-9583-912c4016362f/Images/Documentation/r280%20Test%20Automation%20Modal.png) [Video for "R280 - Test Automations.mp4"](https://tulip.widen.net/view/video/kbj2fj9guw/R280---Test-Automations.mp4?u=gjbdww) - Visual updates to logic blocks in the Automation Editor in preparation for the release of looping ## Edge Device Access - Users can access information and configure drivers of a display device by clicking on the **display device name** from the display devices page [Video for "R280 - Device Driver Modals.mp4"](https://tulip.widen.net/view/video/uft20g9pbf/R280---Device-Driver-Modals.mp4?u=gjbdww) - Users can access information and configure drivers of an edge device by clicking on the **edge device name** from the edge devices page - Users will now need to provide a display device name during registration or the **Next** button will be disabled ## Apps Page Updates - Apps that need approval will now appear in a new **Pending approvals** folder in the apps list. This makes it faster to find open approvals without having to search for them. This list can also be filtered to show approvals assigned to the current user ![r280 Pending Approvals App View](https://cdn.document360.io/7c6ff534-cad3-4fc8-9583-912c4016362f/Images/Documentation/r280%20Pending%20Approvals%20App%20View.png) - Updated the preview panes for apps and app folders to be more visually consistent with similar components across the platform. The name (and in the case of apps, description) fields are no longer editable, a pattern we're moving away from in side panels. Users may still edit this information via the subheader of that resource, or the **Rename** option in more menus. This should make information easier to locate ## User Limits and Exporting - By default, a user limit of 4000 has been applied to all sites to enhance stability. Sites in excess of 4000 users will maintain all excess users, but will be unable to create additional users - When exporting users in CSV format, the Last Online time is now shown in ISO standard format ## Account Links Expirations All account enrollment links, password reset links, and email verification links now expire within 24 hours. This applies retroactively to existing tokens. Previously, expiration times were 30 days, 3 days, and 30 days, respectively. ## Copilot Updates We've added an option for permissions to edit the copilot site settings page when [creating a custom user role](/r230/docs/how-to-customize-user-roles). ## Convert Snapshotted Connecters We've updated the connector export action so you can turn [snapshotted connectors](/r230/docs/connector-snapshotting) back into "editable" ones. This change impacts the connector import/export workflow. ## Stations API Improvement We've improved performance of [stations API](/r230/docs/how-to-use-the-stations-api) LIST endpoints. ## Updated Swedish Translations All Swedish translations have been perfected throughout the platform. ## Tulip Player Updates Users should now see an error page when they have Tulip player open on browser more than one time. ## Bug Fixes Release 280 contains multiple bug fixes that we want to highlight because they were reported by users: - Fixed an issue introduced in [r259](/r230/docs/factory-259-release-august-2023) where users and API tokens archived prior to r259 would render in the record history widget as "Tulip Server" instead of as the archived user or API token - Fixed a regression where table record widgets were able to be scrolled if the datasource was a text-like field - Fixed a bug with toggles on the create variable modal closing it - Fixed multiple issues in the app editor. Widgets with translations in multilingual apps, if created based on another widget (either by duplicating, copy/pasting, or unlocking from the base layout), might share translations with those widgets, so a change in one place results in changes in both widgets - Fixed a bug where the connector host did not listen to all the mapped machine attributes - Fixed a bug where users were unable to create OracleDB connectors - Fixed a bug in barcode scanner widget that caused it to run out of memory - Fixed an issue where after a network disruption, Table Records and Machine Triggers would not update in apps ## Full List of Ticket ID included in Release 280 If you are tracking any of these tickets and would like more details, please contact Tulip Customer Support via [support@tulip.co](http://support@tulip.co) or live chat through your instance.
