Read this summary of the new features, changes, and updated information for your product from Xanadu to Australia.\n\n**Tip:** If there were no updates for a release notes section in a certain family release, we included a short note for your reference. For example, if a product did not have any updates in Tokyo, the row says \"No updates for this release.\"\n\n## Important information for upgrading Flows, subflows, and actions in Workflow Studio to Australia\n\nBefore you upgrade to Australia, review these pre- and post-upgrade tasks and complete the tasks as needed.\n\n<table class=\"custom-rows\"><thead><tr><th class=\"filter\">\n\nRelease\n\n</th><th>\n\nRelease notes\n\n</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>\n\nXanadu\n\n</td><td>\n\nAfter upgrading, users who previously had the fd\\_read\\_operations role will now see only basic execution details such as the run state and duration.
