Cross-Cluster Resource Synchronization
Teamwork Cloud introduces a major new functionality allowing you to reuse resources from a remote server in a read-only mode. This makes collaboration between multiple disconnected Teamwork Cloud sites possible enabling sharing not only resources but their entire history as well. Synchronize resources between two different Teamwork Cloud servers with just a few clicks and choose whether resources should be synchronized manually, automatically, or when a specific commit tag is used.
Resource synchronization can be used both to collaborate with distant teams and offload resources to a remote server.

Permission Management Improvements

The Users and Roles applications have been improved and now allow you to filter the resources with branch-level permissions when selecting assignments.
