+## Ticket Details
+### Improved URL validation for GitHub and GitLab integrations
+**Audience:** User<br>
+
+#### Description
+Integrations with GitHub and GitLab now sanitize and validate the provided URLs. This prevents issues with trailing slashes and whitespace ensuring more robust integration experience.
+
+### Fix Saving of Building Block Sensitive File Inputs
+**Audience:** User<br>
+
+#### Description
+A bug that was present since the v2025.28.0 release prevented the proper saving or updating of the sensitive
+building block static file inputs.
+They were incorrectly saved unencrypted and the building blocks did not run successfully. Please re-upload those
+files and/or rotate the secrets associated with them.
+
+### Fixed Chargeback Message for Excluded TURPs
+**Audience:** User<br>
+
+#### Description
+Previously, users would see a misleading message stating that "No tenant usage reports were recorded," which 
+did not reflect the actual presence of non-finalized TURPs. In this release, the user interface now displays a 
+clearer message in such cases, informing users that TURPs exist but were not finalized at the time of statement 
+finalization.
+
+### Communications Badge Count Not Updating
+**Audience:** User<br>
+
+#### Description
+This fixes a cosmetic bug that caused no immediate update of the 
+badge count after the user acknowledged a communication.
+
+### Search and filter workspace resources
+**Audience:** User<br>
+
+#### Description
+We enhanced the workspace resource overview with search and filtering capabilities. You can now quickly find 
+specific resources by searching for their names and filter resources by type (Projects, Tenants, or Building Blocks) 
+to focus on what you need.
+
+#### How to use
+Navigate to your workspace overview page where you'll see a search bar at the top of the resource grid. Enter any part 
+of a resource name to search, or use the filter buttons on the right to show only specific resource types. You can 
+combine search and filtering to narrow down results even further. The search works with partial matches and is 
+case-insensitive for your convenience.
+
+### Enhanced Building Block with Summary support
+**Audience:** User<br>
+
+#### Description
+Building blocks now support a new "Summary" output type that displays markdown content directly in the building block 
+details view. We've also streamlined the building block creation process to redirect directly to the newly created 
+building block details page instead of the list view.
+
+#### How to use
+When creating building block definitions, you can now add outputs with the assignment type "Summary" to provide 
+guidance and next steps to users.
+
+### Building Block runners use external endpoints for callbacks
+**Audience:** User<br>
+
+#### Description
+We fixed an issue where Building Block runners were using internal endpoints, which caused problems when integrating with 
+external systems that require callback URLs. This affected GitHub Actions, GitLab CI/CD pipelines, and asynchronous 
+Terraform runs that needed to communicate back to meshStack.
+
+### Overview for all resources in workspace
+**Audience:** User, Customer<br>
+
+#### Description
+A new grid view displays all workspace resources (projects, tenants, building blocks) in a 
+unified overview with visual relationship indicators within the workspace overview tab. 
+Users can quickly identify connections between resources and navigate directly to related 
+resources through clickable relationship badges.
+
+#### How to use
+Navigate to the workspace overview page to see the new grid layout showing all your workspace 
+resources. Each resource card displays its type, name, and relationships to other resources.
+Click on relationship badges to navigate to connected resources.
+
+### User Permissions source for Workspace Building Blocks
+**Audience:** User<br>
+
+#### Description
+We now support the "User Permissions" source for workspace-level building blocks. This provides all workspace users 
+with their workspace roles as input data for your building block.
+
+#### How to use
+When configuring inputs for workspace-level building blocks, you can now select "User Permissions" as a source. This is 
+particularly useful for building blocks that need to set up user access or permissions based on the workspace's user 
+assignments. The user permissions data includes user details like username, email, and roles, making it easy to 
+configure access controls or user-specific resources in your building blocks.
+
+### Fix Communication Due Date
+**Audience:** Partner<br>
+
+#### Description
+Previously, it was possible to change the due date of communications of type
+Notification, although this was not intended. This has been fixed, such that due
+dates can now only be specified and changed for Communications of type
+'Action Required'.
+
+### Extend Communication Status Filter
+**Audience:** Customer<br>
+
+#### Description
+Previously, when viewing the received communications within the workspace
+area, filtering communications by the status 'Received' was not possible.
+This has been fixed.
+
+### Fixed Adding Users During Workspace Creation
+**Audience:** User<br>
+
+#### Description
+This fix addresses the issue where users could not be added during workspace creation.
+
+### Resource links on building block cards
+**Audience:** User<br>
+
+#### Description
+Building blocks now support Resource URL outputs that display as clickable links directly on the building block card. 
+This makes it easier to access external resources and services provided by your building blocks.
+
+#### How to use
+When defining building block outputs, you can now select "Resource URL" as the output type. These outputs will appear 
+as clickable links on the building block card with an external link icon. The display name you configure for the 
+output will be used as the link text. You can define multiple Resource URL outputs for a single building block to 
+provide access to different resources or dashboards related to your infrastructure.
