This release +brings some of our most requested features to life, making it easier than ever to connect your data, +share your work, and dive straight into collaborative research. + +![header image](./new-features-69.png) + + + +## 🪄 Connect Data Repositories in Just a Few Clicks + +Working with datasets from Zenodo, Dataverse, or other data repositories? We've got you covered. You +can now connect these datasets directly to your Renku project without the usual download-and-upload +dance. + +Here's how simple it is: create a data connector using the new 'Import data by DOI' option, paste +your dataset's DOI, and you're done. The dataset automatically mounts in your Renku session, ready +to use. No more wrestling with file transfers or worrying about storage space. + +![DOI Data connectors](./doi-dc.png) + +Check out +the [documentation](https://renku.notion.site/Renku-2-0-How-To-Guides-900f417fc205439789a9fbdc5cadcec8?p=1eb0df2efafc802ab3bef1c47c8c45b4&pm=s) +to get started! + +## ✨ A fresh look for Session Launchers + +The session launcher interface has been completely redesigned with clarity in mind. We discovered +that users were getting confused about what aspects of their sessions were shared with collaborators +versus what remained private to their individual work. + +The new design addresses this by splitting the interface clearly: the top section shows your session +launcher (the shared configuration that everyone on the project can see), while the bottom section +displays your personal session status. No more uncertainty about what affects your teammates and +what doesn't. + +But the real game-changer? You can now see your code-based environment build status at a glance. +Previously, you had to open a side panel to check if your environment was still building, built +successfully, or failed. Now all that information—including when it was last built—is right there on +the main interface. This streamlines the workflow for our new [code-based +environments](../built-environments/) that let you define your computational +setup from a simple environment file. + +![New Launcher UX](./new-launcher-ux.png) + +## 🚀 Share Session Launch Links + +Ever wanted to send someone a direct link to launch a session on your project? Maybe you're running +a workshop and want participants to jump straight into the analysis, or you've built a dashboard +that clients should access without navigating through project pages first. + +Now you can create custom launch links that do exactly that. Share them as simple URLs or embed them +as colorful markdown badges—whatever fits your workflow. + +![Launch Link Modal](./launch-link-modal.png) + +You'll find the option in the launcher dropdown on your project page, or click the 🔗 icon in your +session controls if you're already working inside a session. + +![Share Drop Down](share-drop-down.png) + +**Make Launch Links Even Smarter with Environment Variables** + +Here's where it gets interesting: you can pass information directly to sessions through custom +launch links. Imagine you have a data catalog with dozens of datasets. Instead of creating separate +Renku projects for each one, create a single project with all your analysis tools, then generate +custom launch links that tell the session which dataset to load. + +![Launch Link Modal Expanded](launch-link-modal-expanded.png) + +When someone clicks your custom link, the dataset ID gets passed as an environment variable that +your session can automatically pick up and use. One project, infinite possibilities. + +Set this up by first adding environment variables to your session launcher, then customizing the +values when creating your launch link through the **Customize Launch Link** section. + +![Environment Variables](env-vars.png) + +## Jupyter now available for Code-Based Environments + +Prefer Jupyter over VSCode? When creating [code-based +environments](../built-environments/), you can now choose your preferred +interface. Because the best tool is the one that fits your workflow. + +![Jupyter Code Based Env](jupyter-code-based-env.png) + +## …and more! + +This release also adds search functionality for data connectors and makes it possible to migrate +Renku Legacy (1.0) projects right from the Renku 2.0 dashboard.
