+
+### Amazon Web Services (AWS) region support <span class="badge badge--long" title="This feature affects SaaS">SaaS</span>
+
+Camunda 8 SaaS now supports Amazon Web Services (AWS) deployments. When creating a new cluster, you can select from the following new [AWS regions](/reference/regions.md):
+
+- Frankfurt, Europe (eu-central-1)
+- North America, Virginia (us-east-1)
+
+See the [release announcement](../announcements/870.md#amazon-web-services-aws-region-support-saas) for more information.
+
+### BPMN Copilot BPMN-to-text
+
+Besides [generating BPMN](/components/early-access/alpha/bpmn-copilot/bpmn-copilot.md), Camunda's BPMN Copilot now supports generating text from the BPMN diagram. This can be used to:
+
+- Rapidly draft process documentation.
+- Learn how the process works.
+- Explain the process's behavior to stakeholders.
+
+To learn more about this feature, see [BPMN Copilot](/components/early-access/alpha/bpmn-copilot/bpmn-copilot.md).
+
+<!-- https://github.com/camunda/product-hub/issues/2576 -->
+
+### Camunda 8 Run advanced configuration options
+
+The Camunda 8 Run startup script now supports additional configuration parameters: a web application port, the location of keystore TLS certificates, and log level. This release also introduces a new `--docker` option, which starts C8Run with the `docker-compose up` command, and deploys Camunda 8 in containers instead of starting with a Java engine. For more information, see the [Camunda 8 Run documentation](/self-managed/setup/deploy/local/c8run.md).
+
+<!-- https://github.com/camunda/product-hub/issues/2459 -->
+
+### Console cluster health and capacity monitoring
+
+This release introduces a real-time cluster capacity metric for monitoring and scaling your Camunda 8 clusters.
+
+<!-- https://github.com/camunda/product-hub/issues/2346 -->
+
+### Intelligent document processing
+
+Use intelligent document processing (IDP) to integrate automated document processing into your end-to-end processes.
+
+- IDP uses artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to identify, extract, and organize data from your structured and unstructured documents into a structured format you can use in your processes.
+- For example, you can use IDP to extract data from invoices and other document types in your document processing workflow.
+
+:::note
+IDP is only supported for Camunda 8 SaaS with the 8.7.0-alpha5 release. Support for Camunda 8 Self-Managed and Camunda 8 Run is planned for delivery with the 8.7 release.
+:::
+
+To learn more about this feature, see [intelligent document processing](/components/modeler/web-modeler/intelligent-document-processing.md).
+
+<!-- https://github.com/camunda/camunda-docs/issues/4575 -->
+
+#### Document extraction for unstructured data
+
+The new [document extraction UI](/components/modeler/web-modeler/idp/idp-document-extraction.md) for intelligent document processing allows users to configure projects for unstructured (LLM extraction) data. Define the taxonomy, test cases, and choose models for LLM-based extraction, then publish and share projects across the organization.
+
+<!-- https://github.com/camunda/product-hub/issues/2521 -->
+
+### Play multi-tenancy <span class="badge badge--long" title="This feature affects Self-Managed">Self-Managed</span>
+
+Play multi-tenancy allows you to have an isolated, dedicated testing environment without additional cost. This feature is available for Web Modeler in Self-Managed environments.
+
+<!-- https://github.com/camunda/product-hub/issues/2653 -->
+
+### Process landscape visualization
+
+Process landscape visualization provides a comprehensive, hierarchical view of all related processes. This release enables automation leads to:
+
+- Visualize the entire process landscape of a project in a single, interactive interface.
+- Drill down from high-level processes to detailed sub-processes and activities.
+
+To learn more about this feature, see [process landscape visualization](/components/modeler/web-modeler/process-landscape-visualization.md).
+
+<!-- https://github.com/camunda/product-hub/issues/2432 -->
+
+### Robotic Process Automation (RPA) production-ready
+
+The [RPA solution](/components/RPA/overview.md) is graduating to [production-ready](/components/RPA/production.md), empowering customers to deploy robust, scalable, and maintainable automation workflows seamlessly.
+
+Users can now implement, troubleshoot, and maintain automation RPA scripts in Desktop Modeler. This major update introduces a suite of powerful features designed to enhance the development, deployment, and management of [RPA scripts](/components/RPA/getting-started.md).
+
+<!-- https://github.com/camunda/product-hub/issues/2533 -->
+
+### Web Modeler governance and change control
+
+Web Modeler now supports stronger governance and change control. This ensures safe production deployment for processes with low to medium complexity and criticality. The following capabilities are now available:
+
+- Reviews cannot be performed by the user who created the process application version, and the reviewer is logged in the version history of a process application.
+- Admins can enable production deployments for reviewed process applications as an alternative to using their own deployment pipeline.
+
+To learn more about this feature, see [process governance](/components/modeler/web-modeler/process-application-pipeline.md).
