Sandboxes are a great way to trial-run processes in a controlled environment where live data isn't going to be affected until it's ready to roll out.
The only drawback is having to then recreate those potentially complicated processes in the live environment.
That's where 'deploy to production' comes in to save you a good chunk of time.

Who gets it: Customers who have any of the following enterprise hubs: Enterprise Customer Platform, Content Enterprise, Marketing Enterprise, Ops Enterprise, Sales Enterprise, Service Enterprise

Organise emails with custom properties for flexible categorisation, clear views, and tailored reporting. Create or select properties in the âOrganizeâ tab, then use them to analyse campaign results more efficiently. No more messy naming systems or manual tracking.
Unmatched insights: This allows you to categorise and filter emails with tailored fields making segmentation and organisation easier.
I'm sure all sales users will recognise this bar:
The one above your deals with default analytics.
We would get people asking to customise this as the data wasn't showing them anything useful and was just taking up valuable screen real estate.
Now you can easily clone any of the default views - or create your own - hit the cog icon and get to customising so you can see useful and relevant information.
Unmatched insights: If you don't want the deal metrics you can always clone the view and remove it to ensure this doesn't show up by default.
Who gets it: Sales Pro, Sales Enterprise

AI is massively popular in case you haven't noticed; BUT without proper direction it can become more aggro than it's worth.
If you're a bit intimidated by AI, a good way to get used to it and try out its capabilities is via the multiple reporting insights available.

What did I tell you! AI is high up on HubSpot's radar.
Alongside access to its own AI powerhouse (Breeze AI) HubSpot is encouraging integration with other AI tools such as OpenAI.
In order to use it, go to your ChatGPT window, hit Tools and Run Deep Research.
Under sources you can then connect HubSpot, meaning you now have access to your HubSpot database within ChatGPT.
Some quick reminders too:
-> Using HubSpot for Deep Research won't override your permissions i.e. which records you can analyse in ChatGPT
->Customer data is not used by ChatGPT for training
->Sensitive Data Properties won't be available via the connector
Unmatched insights: So, long story short, if you have an OpenAI system you don't have to use your limited Breeze credits for carrying out basic research across your pre-existing database.
Who gets it: The HubSpot deep research connector will automatically be available to all HubSpot customers across all tiers who have a paid ChatGPT plan (Enterprise, Team, Pro, Plus, or Edu; EU customers will need a ChatGPT Team, Enterprise, or Edu plan.)
Okay so whilst not an update and maybe a bit dry BUT it's important to know that HubSpot have recently updated their Terms of Service here.
Check out the Community Post for more information on this.
You can now edit or delete Campaign UTM values for better tracking and data accuracy. Navigate to Campaigns, select your campaign, and update or remove UTM values in the details panel. Only secondary UTMs can be deleted; default UTMs must be updated first. Deleted UTMs and their data are permanently removed.
Unmatched insights: Great for making reporting easier as you can rename urls to be more descriptive.
Admins can now view, restore, and permanently delete deleted marketing emails in HubSpot, with visibility into who deleted each email and when. Go to your email listings, open the "Deleted" view, and use the Actions menu to restore or delete emails as needed.
Unmatched insights: This is really beneficial as it's not just an Enterprise tool. All portals can expect better auditing and recoverable assets.
Who gets it: All hubs and tiers.
Unmatched insights: Great for those within the health and governmental sectors.
Who gets it:Enterprise Customer Platform, Content Hub Enterprise, Marketing Hub Enterprise, Marketing+ Enterprise, Operations Hub Enterprise, Sales Hub Enterprise, Service Hub Enterprise
