- Duplicate workspaces, including automations, via “publish to web” feature and move automations to other apps
- Convert to script any automation action or filter to then adjust the code (create comment)
- Use open workspaces with all member access as help DB’s e.g. language, tags via relations

We’re happy to announce that we’ve made significant enhancements to our API over the past few weeks.
With this update, developers are now enabled to…
- Build migrations from other services to Tape
- Create automated backup/restore services for Tape
- Communicate with other services to develop extensions for Tape
This API update could expand the Tape ecosystem for users.
The good news? Both external developers and Tape users are looking forward to these updates.
