+## Ticket Details
+### Allow Tenant Import Into Custom Platforms Without Mandatory Building Blocks
+**Audience:** User<br>
+
+#### Description
+Fixed a regression that prevented importing tenants into custom platforms when the landing zone
+does not have any mandatory building blocks. This functionality was previously available but was
+inadvertently blocked by an overly restrictive check. Imports are still correctly blocked for
+landing zones with mandatory building blocks due to technical limitations.
+
+### Fixed Building Block Execution Loop Issue
+**Audience:** User<br>
+
+#### Description
+We fixed an issue where some building blocks would get stuck for hours in a continuous loop of re-execution. This was caused by 
+non-deterministic ordering of user roles and unnecessary tenant replications when platform tenant IDs were already set.
+
+#### How to use
+Building blocks that were previously stuck in execution loops will now run normally. You don't need to take any action - 
+the fix is automatically applied to all existing building blocks.
+
+### Enable Editing Assignment Type for Building Block Outputs in Draft Mode
+**Audience:** User<br>
+
+#### Description
+We fixed an issue where you could not edit the assignment type of building block definition outputs when the
+definition version was in draft mode and not related to a custom platform. This is fixed now and you can always 
+edit the assignment type for outputs when your building block definition is in draft mode.
+
+### Improved Terraform Variable Detection for Building Block Definitions
+**Audience:** User<br>
+
+#### Description
+We've enhanced the reliability of automatic variable detection when importing 
+Terraform configurations into Building Block Definitions. Previously, certain 
+complex Terraform expressions could cause parsing errors and prevent the 
+system from properly detecting your variables. This improvement ensures that 
+your Building Block Definitions work seamlessly, even when using advanced 
+Terraform syntax.
+
+### Refresh Buttons for Building Block Lists
+**Audience:** User<br>
+
+#### Description
+We have added refresh buttons to the workspace building blocks and tenant building blocks overview pages. These 
+buttons allow you to quickly refresh the building block list without having to reload the entire page.
+
+### Fix AWS Landing Zone Creation via Platform Builder
+**Audience:** User<br>
+
+#### Description
+Previously, when an AWS Landing Zone was created from within the Platform Builder, an error was
+displayed saying that awsEnrollAccount is a required property. This has been fixed.
+
+### Hide Building Blocks Without User Input From Creation Wizards
+**Audience:** User<br>
+
+#### Description
+Building blocks that don't require any user input are now automatically hidden from the project 
+and tenant creation wizards. This streamlines the creation process by only showing building blocks 
+that actually need configuration from users, reducing visual clutter and improving the overall user 
+experience.
+
+### Workspace Building Block Preselected by Default during Definition Creation
+**Audience:** User<br>
+
+#### Description
+When creating a new building block definition, the Workspace Building Block 
+type is now preselected by default instead of the Tenant Building Block type. 
+This improves the onboarding experience as Workspace Building Block serves usually 
+as the starting point for new platform teams.
+
+### Auto-select Current Workspace when Returning from meshStack Hub
+**Audience:** User<br>
+
+#### Description
+When you return to meshStack after browsing building block definitions in meshStack Hub, we now automatically
+pre-select your current workspace in the workspace picker. This eliminates the need to manually select your
+workspace in most cases, providing a smoother workflow when importing building block definitions from the Hub.
+
+### Fix GitHub Workflow Validation for Building Block Definition Purge Mode
+**Audience:** User<br>
+
+#### Description
+Fixed validation logic for GitHub workflow building block definitions when switching between deletion modes. 
+The "Destroy Workflow" field is now correctly marked as optional when using "Purge in meshStack" mode, 
+preventing validation errors that previously blocked form submission.
+
+### Improve Admin UI layout and extend app background
+**Audience:** User<br>
+
+#### Description
+This release contains a collection of UI updates and layout improvements that
+standardize the administration screens to the Control Plane UI layout and
+improves the main application background behavior.
+
+### Enable SSH Authentication for Terraform Modules in Building Blocks
+**Audience:** User<br>
+
+#### Description
+We now forward the configured SSH key (used to clone the primary Building Block repository) into the Terraform execution environment.
+This allows Terraform to fetch additional private modules (for example via git::ssh URLs) using the same key, without further configuration.
+No action is required; runs that previously failed with permission errors when downloading private modules should now succeed.
+
+### Improved Default View Toggle for Workspace Overview
+**Audience:** User<br>
+
+#### Description
+We redesigned the default view toggle functionality in the workspace overview to provide a better user experience. 
+The toggle now shows more intuitive text that clearly indicates the current state and available action. When you 
+switch from the new workspace overview back to the old view, we'll ask for your feedback to help us understand 
+how we can improve the new experience.
+
+### Default Settings for Feature Previews
+**Audience:** User<br>
+
+#### Description
+Admins can now set default preferences for feature previews to streamline the user experience. You can configure 
+feature previews to be enabled by default for new users and those who haven't made a decision yet, or clear 
+default settings to let users opt-in individually. This helps platform teams control the default feature 
+experience while respecting existing user preferences.
+
+### Fixed multiple scrollbars in Admin Area sidebar
+**Audience:** User<br>
+
+#### Description
+Resolved an issue where expanding all sidebar entries in the Admin Area resulted in two scrollbars appearing. Now only the sidebar content is scrollable, providing a cleaner and more intuitive user experience.
