Updates and Enhancements

Feature	Description	Availability
Workspace Settings	We've moved all of the workspace options in your YouTrack profile to a dedicated tab. These settings let you fine-tune the appearance and behavior of the application to suit your style.	2020.2
Project-based Visibility Settings	New settings let project administrators predefine the default visibility for new issues. They can also recommend which groups and teams can be used to restrict the visibility for issues and comments in each of their projects. The new setting is applied only to the newly created issues. Existing issues are not affected.	2020.2
Granular Sharing Options	Updates to visibility settings let you grant access with greater precision. These changes apply to tags, saved searches, agile boards, and reports.	2020.2
Improved Presentation of Custom Fields in the Issues List	We've restyled the presentation of custom fields that use a color scheme on the Issues. This enhancement makes it easier to identify patterns when you scan the list.	2020.2
Streamlined Board Creation	You now have the ability to create an agile board without a backlog. Whether you choose to add the backlog later or not, your new board works perfectly either way.	2020.2
Clone as Draft Action for Issues	As an alternative to the existing `clone` action, we've added an action that lets you clone an existing issue as a draft. This lets you make minor adjustments to the cloned issue before you create it, so you don't have to worry about generating unwanted notifications.	2020.2

Discontinued Features

Feature	Description	Availability
Old YouTrack REST API	We have provided documentation for all of the public endpoints in our new YouTrack REST API. The old REST API is officially deprecated. We will discontinue support for the old REST API later this year. If you have an existing application or integration that uses the old API, we encourage you to migrate your applications to the new API. The new OpenAPI Specification (OAS) is a great tool to help you get started. If you have any questions or require additional support, join our YouTrack Community in Slack.	Deprecated
