Azure Pipelines

Building PRs from forked GitHub repositories

To improve the security of your pipelines, Azure Pipelines no longer automatically builds pull requests from forked GitHub repositories for new projects and organizations. Now, the default value of the Limit building pull requests from forked GitHub repositories setting is Disable building pull requests from forked repositories for new projects and organizations.

Reporting

New Dashboard directory experience

We've listened to your feedback and are thrilled to introduce the new Dashboard directory experience. It not only features a modern UI design but also enables you to sort by each column, with the addition of the Last Configured column. This column will provide you with better insights into overall dashboard usage within your organization. Additionally, you can now filter by team or project-level dashboards, allowing you to access only the list of what you need to see while hiding the dashboards you don’t want to view.
