Known issues (1.24.0)

New item	Details	Workaround
Azure Arc extension	Known Issue: The "Script to Notebook" button for Arc MIAA & PG deployments doesn't do field validation before scripting the notebook. This means that if users enter the password wrong in the password confirm inputs then they might end up with a notebook that has the wrong value for the password.	The "Deploy" button works as expected though so users should use that instead.
Object Explorer	Releases of Azure Data Studio before 1.24.0 have a breaking change in object explorer because of the engine's changes related to Azure Synapse Analytics serverless SQL pool.	To continue utilizing object explorer in Azure Data Studio with Azure Synapse Analytics serverless SQL pool, you need to use Azure Data Studio 1.24.0 or later.
