+<h2>Aug. 29, 2024  &nbsp;&nbsp; Download track data in view</h2>
+<p>
+We are pleased to announce a new feature that allows users to download
+all visible data in the current region directly from our tracks display. This facilitates
+reproducibility when writing reports or publications as data can update
+and change over time.</p>
+<p>
+This feature can be found in the blue bar menu by going to <b>Downloads</b> &gt; 
+<b>Download Current Track Data</b>. The resulting pop-up dialogue box can configure
+the exact tracks to download from all visible tracks, as well as the file name and
+the output format (JSON, csv, tsv). While most track types are supported, 
+please <a href="../contacts.html">contact us</a> if you 
+encounter an unsupported format you would like to export.</p>

 <h2>Aug. 21, 2024  &nbsp;&nbsp; New groups feature for track hubs</h2>
 <p>
 We are excited to announce a new grouping feature for track hubs, which allows the structured
 organization of tracks into distinct groups. This feature can be applied to a UCSC genome, a
 GenArk assembly, or an assembly hub. These track hub groups are kept separate from other track
 hubs and the native UCSC Genome Browser track groups, allowing for greater organizational
 flexibility. For instance, you can add a "genes" group without causing conflicts or confusion.
 You can define groups with names like
 &quot;Category 1&quot;, &quot;Category 2&quot;, and &quot;Category 3&quot;.
