What’s New in Autodesk Upchain

To give Upchain customers access to new functionality faster and improve the quality of service, Autodesk has changed its Upchain product release cycle from a quarterly update to a progressive rollout. This means that Upchain customers will see new features and enhancements in a progressive and ongoing basis, eliminating the impact of releasing many features and fixes all at once and allowing customers to enjoy the stability of more incremental releases on a more frequent basis.

With the latest release of Upchain, there is new functionality and fixes that were rolled out over the course of several weeks in April and May. Watch the video to see some of the features in action and read on to learn more about what’s new in Upchain.
