Take a photo with no connection, and take it while you are still filling in the record: it stays on the device with the record and uploads once the record itself has landed, and nothing is reported as sent while its photo is still on the phone. Edits the server refuses, because a value breaks the layer's rules or you have lost access to the layer, no longer retry forever or vanish. A red "edits need attention" chip lists them with the reason; fix the value and retry, or discard the edit. Correcting a record you added offline no longer loses the original. And if your data lives in a spreadsheet, the New Data Layer wizard now takes a CSV and finds the coordinate columns itself, whether they are called latitude and longitude, LAT and LNG, or x and y.
Open a map you can edit and an Edit toolbar appears next to the selection tools, on any layer you have permission to change. Click a feature to drag its vertices, draw a new one and fill in its attributes, or delete one, all without building an editing app first. The attribute table edits inline too, and a Calculate Field option fills a column from an expression. Every save is checked against the layer's rules, so a value the layer would not accept is refused with a plain-English reason. Field edits the server refuses now wait for you with that reason instead of retrying forever.
You can now build a dashboard: big-number indicators, charts, tables, and maps, refreshing on their own once a minute. Start from the KPI Dashboard or Operations Board layout when you create a web app. The part worth knowing: these are the same widgets as everything else, so a dashboard can grow a map, an editing tool, or another page later, and an indicator can sit in the corner of a map app. There is no separate dashboard product to get stuck inside. Charts also got a proper settings panel and now do their counting on the server, so they stay quick on big layers and show totals for whatever each viewer is allowed to see.
Newer QGIS (3.42 and up) has a built-in catalog browser, and this portal now speaks its language. Point it at the portal and your imagery, elevation, and other raster layers appear with their footprints on the map, filterable by area and date, ready to load. Public layers work without signing in; an API key shows everything you can see, with the usual sharing rules applied.
Imagery, terrain, and lidar layers never recorded where on the map they are, so searching by area quietly skipped them, and zooming to one from desktop GIS software went to the whole world. Every raster and point cloud now records its map extent, including ones uploaded long ago, so area search matches them and zoom-to lands on the data.
