### Administrators can now easily start, stop, and restart session hosts
31+
32+
You can now stop, start and restart session hosts directly in the Azure portal. You can also choose whether to perform the operation on a single session host or on multiple session hosts in your host pool at the same time.
33+
34+
### Use community image and directed shared images when deploying session hosts
35+
36+
You can now select community images and directed shared images to use for your session hosts when [creating a host pool](deploy-azure-virtual-desktop.md#create-a-host-pool).
37+
38+
Community images and associated publisher information aren't verified or tested by Microsoft, so make sure to verify any custom images you deploy using this method.
39+
40+
For more information on preparing, storing and sharing images to be used to create virtual machines, see [Store and share VM images in a compute gallery](../virtual-machines/shared-image-galleries.md).

### Windows 11 version 23H2 and 22H2 images added to the Azure Marketplace
43+
44+
Windows 11 Enterprise multi-session, versions 23H2 and 22H2 with Microsoft 365 apps preinstalled are now available in the Azure Marketplace. You can use these images when you [deploy Azure Virtual Desktop in the Azure portal](deploy-azure-virtual-desktop.md?tabs=portal), [add session hosts to a host pool](add-session-hosts-host-pool.md), or [create custom images](custom-image-templates.md).

Autoscale for personal host pools is now generally available. Autoscale lets you scale your session host virtual machines (VMs) in a host pool up or down according to schedule to optimize deployment costs. It also now supports hibernate (preview), that pauses virtual machines that aren't being used. For more information, see [Autoscale scaling plans and example scenarios in Azure Virtual Desktop](autoscale-scenarios.md) and [Hibernating virtual machines](../virtual-machines/hibernate-resume.md).
