Gantt module	Basic tasks visible after filters have been applied
Cross module features	Read-only access during full-sync Data isn't hidden during a synchronization process - this provides you with faster access to data while the sync is taking place.
Cross module features	Box switcher: simplified list of favorite items Clear and simplified navigation - only the item itself is shown. The parent and child elements remain hidden (not just greyed out).
App configuration	Box auto-archiving The App can automatically archive the Boxes you no longer use - archived Boxes are hidden by default. We provide you with the possibility to automatically archive any Boxes holding completed initiatives without having to go through a manual process. Especially if you have a large BigGantt instance and substantial numbers of users and tasks this can help to offload Jira and BigGantt working memory and will translate into faster loading times.
	Technical user selection Changes are no longer made by an anonymous user - the ‘Technical user selector’ feature provides more visibility into updates done by the tool during auto-scheduling and field synchronization. The selected technical user (for example, a Jira user you have created and named "BigGantt") will be listed as the user making changes to your tasks, instead of an anonymous user (Jira Server fallback user).
	Scheduled data sync As Jira does not always notify about changes (for example no events are triggered when a project is removed) the new mechanism assures that the scope of your work is always up to date.
	Performance profiling report Performance profiling report (available for Jira server) - this new feature Jira Admins the possibility to analyze Jira and BigGantt memory load resulting from operations being conducted by the application at any given time. This improves troubleshooting capabilities at the BigGantt Support Team and helps solve much faster any performance problems that may occasionally be experienced by the clients.
	Onboarding tours toggle on/off
