 - To navigate through a section's panels without exiting full-screen mode, use either the **Previous** and **Next** buttons below the panel or the left and right arrow keys.
 - When viewing an image in full-screen mode, click the zoom control at the top right to zoom in or out. By default, images zoom to fit. Click and drag to pan a zoomed-in image. You can also zoom in, zoom out, reset to 100% zoom, or zoom to fit using keyboard shortcuts. See [Keyboard shortcuts](/models/app/keyboard-shortcuts#media-panels).

-- Use the media controls to play, pause, or stop video playback. If **Sync video playback** is turned on, all videos in the section play in sync. If **Loop videos** is turned on, videos in the section restart automatically and play continuously until stopped.

+## Support and end of life
+- W&B Server v0.56 has reached end of life.
+
+## Upgrading
+To [upgrade](/platform/hosting/server-upgrade-process/#update-with-helm) to W&B v0.69.x, you must use v0.31.4+ of the `operator-wandb` Helm chart. Otherwise, after the upgrade, the `weave-cache-clear` container can fail to start. Ensure that your deployment uses these values:
+
+```yaml
+chart:
+  url: https://charts.wandb.ai
+  name: operator-wandb
+  version: 0.31.4
+```
+
+If you have questions or are experiencing issues with an upgrade, contact [support](mailto:support@wandb.com).
+
+## Features
+- You can now set a custom display name for a run directly in the workspace. Customized run names show up in all plots and tables but only in your workspace, with no impact on your teammates' views. This provides a clearer and cleaner view in your workspace, with no more labels like `*...v6-final-restart...`* in every legend and plot.
+- When filtering or grouping runs, colors can sometimes overlap and become indistinct. The run selector's new **Randomize Colors** option reassigns random colors from the default palette to your current run selection or groups, helping to make the colors more distinguishable.
+- In line plots, you can now use **Cmd+Click** on a line to open a single-run view in a new tab.
+- Video media panels now provide more playback controls to play, pause, seek, view full screen, and adjust playback speed.
+- Settings for all types of media panels have been reorganized and improved.
+- You can now customize the point and background colors for point cloud panels.
+- Team-level and organization-level service accounts can now interact with Registry.
+- Improved Exponentially-weighted Moving Average (EMA) smoothing provides more reliable [smoothed lines](/models/app/features/panels/line-plot/smoothing) when operating on complete, unbinned data. In most cases, smoothing is handled at the back end for improved performance. This feature was in private preview in v0.68.x.
+
+### Private preview
+Private preview features are available by invitation only. To request enrollment in a private preview, contact [support](mailto:support@wandb.com) or your AISE.
+
+- You can now color all of your runs based on a secondary metric, such as loss or custom efficiency metrics. This creates a clear gradient color scale across your runs in all plots, so you can spot patterns faster. [Watch a video demo](https://www.loom.com/share/c6ed484899324de991ef7147fd73785d).
+- [Personal workspace templates](/models/track/workspaces/#workspace-templates){/* TODO change to a relref after workspace templates docs merge */} allow you to save core line plot settings and automatically reapply them in new views. These settings include x-axis key, smoothing algorithm, smoothing factor, max number of lines, whether to use the run selector's grouping, and which aggregation to apply.
+
+### Weave
+- [Saved views](/weave/guides/tools/saved-views) simplify team collaboration and allow you to persist filter and column settings.
+- PDFs and generic files are now supported.
+- The new [`EvaluationLogger` API](/weave/guides/evaluation/evaluation_logger) provides flexible imperative-style evaluation logging.
+- You can now import [human annotations](/weave/guides/tracking/feedback#add-human-annotations) into Weave datasets
+- [Playground](/weave/guides/tools/playground) now supports saved configurations and prompts.
+- Decorators are now supported in TypeScript.
+- Added support for [tracing generator functions](/weave/guides/tracking/tracing#trace-sync-%26-async-generator-functions).
+- The new [`dataset.add_rows`](/weave/reference/python-sdk/#method-add-rows) helper improves the efficiency of appending to an existing dataset.
+- To help you understand your usage, trace and object sizes are now shown through the UI.
+
+## Performance
+- With [`wandb` SDK](/models/quickstart/#install-the-wandb-library-and-log-in) v0.19.11, artifacts now download 3-5x faster on average. For example, an artifact that previously downloaded at around 100 MB/sec may now download at 450 MB/sec or faster. Actual download speeds vary based on factors such as your network and storage infrastructure.
+- Improved caching on [Project](/models/track/project-page) and [User Settings](/platform/app/settings-page/user-settings) pages.
+
+## Fixes
+- Improved the startup process for the `weave-cache-clear` container to ensure compatibility with Python virtual environments.
+- Added options for denser display of console logs.
+- Workspace loading screens are now more informative.
+- When adding a panel from a workspace to a report, the current project's reports are now shown first in the destination report list.
+- Fixed many cases where y-axes would over-round to a degree that caused duplicate values to display.
+- Fixed confusing behavior when entering invalid smoothing parameters.
+- Removed the **Partial Media** warning from media panels. This does not change the behavior of the media panels.
+- When adding a [run filter based on tags](/models/runs/filter-runs/#filter-runs-with-tags), the filter is now selected by default, as when filtering by other fields.
+- Removed the green bell icon that could appear on active runs in the run selector.
+- Removed the System page for individual runs.
+- The project description field now respects new lines.
+- Fixed URLs for legacy model registry collections.
+- Fixed a bug where the Netron viewer did not expand to fill all available space on the page.
+- When you click **Delete** on a project, the project name now displays in the confirmation modal.
