9-16-24 Release Notes

Deactive Site & Archive Feed As we prepare to make the platform more self-service, we've gone back to basics and made controlling your Companion Site and Feeds easier. Previously, there was no self-service option to remove a Site or Feed, making it especially difficult if you were hitting your active Feeds limit. Now, you can deactivate a site to take it offline, letting you perform some maintenance before you re-activate at a later time. You can also archive Feeds, which disables their message sync to the Companion Site and removes them from public access. Archived Feeds do not count towards your active Feeds limit, and you can always unarchive Feeds as long as you're within the limit.
