January 20th, 20232 3

Because of the holidays, and our deployment schedule, this update includes our progress for both sprint 215 and 216. You will notice a lot of bugs being fixed in these sprints. Some of the issues being significant.

We also turned on the “Try the New Boards Hub” message to another ring of customers this week. This will no doubt produce another round of feedback tickets for us to address. We have two more rings to go, but we are getting closer to having the New Boards Hub be the default experience.
