- If you have a huge hierarchy with a large number of orgs, you no longer have to wait for the export file to be processed. You can use the reports generated by your fellow admins.
- You no longer need to keep or save these reports to compare later. The reports are retained for 90 days, you can download these anytime and compare the reports.
