View fullsize

Intro

🎉 This week we are continuing with adding visual context from any videos, gifs, and screenshots of the releases to make it easier for you to understand the updates and bring you the best possible episode of Workspace Recap. This episode is much tighter than last week as I work to improve and tweak my editing style. It did take me 4 hours to edit and it's over 20GB but it's worth it! Now to try and make shorts out of these for those of you who just want only the update.
