and a new RenkuLab Dashboard!

Would you like to work on your Renku project from the comfort of your own local
computer? Use the Renku CLI to start an SSH session on RenkuLab, and open that
session in your local terminal or even your IDE, such as VSCode. Check out the
"Connect with SSH" option in the Session Start menu to get started, or see our
`docs <https://renku.readthedocs.io/en/stable/how-to-guides/renkulab/ssh-into-sessions.html>`__.
*Note that SSH functionality must be enabled by your administrator and may not be
available on all RenkuLab deployments.*

And, your RenkuLab Dashboard now has a snazzy new look that puts your most used
projects, sessions, and datasets at your fingertips. Quickly pick up where you
left off: connect to your already-running sessions, start a new session on a
recently visited project, or access your datasets- all from a single page!
