  • The Reporting section now includes API usage and Unusual activities analysis (renamed from Salesforce unusual activities analysis).

• On the Backup page, AvePoint Cloud Backup for Salesforce® now provides a warning message for organizations with insufficient permissions for backup.

• To successfully enable hard deletion for an organization, the authenticated user needs to be assigned a profile with the Bulk API Hard Delete permission in Salesforce.

• The Data size column is now available on the Backup > Organization details page and the Job monitor > Job details page to calculate the actual data size per object, offering better insights into your backup storage usage.

• New columns for detailed per-object API usage are now available on the Backup > Organization details page and the Job monitor > Job details page to provide better visibility into API consumption.

• You can now select a date range within one year when exporting the audit records on the System auditor page.
