      Release Notes v5.8.5.2 - Sync Enhancements

      A major Platform/Mediahub Release that enhances sync functionality and overall stability.

      Released 9/21/22

      The Sync Update

      Update 5.8.5.2 represents a significant update to sync functionality and overall stability for all users. Users can now control all sync functionality from directly within the Platform interface, allowing quick addition and removal of new sync devices and the selective sync of individual project spaces (no more static sync spaces!). This update also rolls in nearly a year of service updates addressing general stability and improved functionality in all areas of Platform and Mediahub.
