  • Switch between Light and Dark Mode  
  • View your resources in a grid or list format 
  • Reset web client settings to their defaults

  • Thank you.

    This would have been nice to have the information published and maybe some expected timelines.

     

  • Thanks for reaching out. This is a phased rollout, all end users will be able to try the new client once the rollout is complete. Admins do not have to enable anything.
