# Product Update - November 18, 2024

- **New Navigation for CMA:** We are gradually rolling out a new grouping and ordering for the Cato Management Application (CMA) menus to provide better usability and experience for admins. The [new navigation](/v1/docs/welcome-to-the-cma) helps create a logical flow for monitoring traffic and activity and configuration changes.
  - When you’re ready, use the toggle in the header to show the new navigation and easily return to the existing experience
  - We added a new Home menu to highlight cross-platform workflows spanning multiple domains, such as XDR Stories Workbench and Experience Monitoring. The single-domain perspective is maintained in the Network, Access, and Security menus that include monitoring and configuration pages
  - There is a link to the feedback form at the top of the page, please let us know what you think
  - The new navigation has no impact on traffic in your account and supports existing flows and browser bookmarks (no changes to the current URLs)

- **Save Favorite CMA Pages:** We are gradually rolling out a CMA usability enhancement, so you can easily navigate to your most frequently used pages from the [new Favorites menu](/v1/docs/welcome-to-the-cma).

- **Enhanced Admin Experience for Managing the RPF Policy at Scale:** We improved management of the Remote Port Forwarding (RPF) policy with the following features:
  - API support for managing the policy For more information see the [Cato GraphQL API Reference](https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcatonetworks.us16.list-manage.com%2Ftrack%2Fclick%3Fu%3D75bb2b7bafe7526c787475fd2%26id%3Dc5ee4075b7%26e%3D2b9a2985a2&data=05%7C02%7Cjonathan.rabinowitz%40catonetworks.com%7C9e1e2f2fe2de4182933908dcf691c50e%7Cd03fe63fee564020a121dd5b65bc7ea3%7C0%7C0%7C638656353162930017%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=WssPw0IkdbHjL2We6yJ2Jtt3GRwUdA0p2CNVbCkfqxY%3D&reserved=0)
  - Ability to [modify the policy](/v1/docs/working-with-policy-revisions) in parallel by multiple admins
  - Faster and more responsive page for policies with many rules
- **New Cato GitHub Account:** We are introducing [Cato's GitHub](/v1/docs/introduction-to-the-cato-github-account) account, which is available at [https://github.com/catonetworks](https://github.com/catonetworks).
  - The account hosts multiple resources with open-source reference code and tools, including sample Python scripts, a CLI client, a Terraform provider, modules, and more
  - All resources on GitHub are provided "as-is" and are not an official Cato product

- **Increased Visibility of EPP Actions:** You can now view the real-time [status and history](/v1/docs/managing-the-endpoint-protection-solution) of actions sent to the EPP agent in the Protected Endpoints page. For example, you can see when the agent last performed a full system scan.
- **Run Socket Traceroute from the CMA:** We added the ability to run [traceroute commands](/v1/docs/managing-sockets) directly from the Site Configuration > Socket page via WAN or LAN interfaces.
  - Previously you needed to log in to the Socket WebUI to run traceroute
