-<h2>Dec. 05, 2025 &nbsp;&nbsp; Hub Space: Host Your Track Hubs Directly on the Genome Browser</h2>
+<a name="020326"></a>
+<h2>Feb. 03, 2026 &nbsp;&nbsp; New &quot;Visible Tracks&quot; group feature</h2>
+<p>
+We are excited to announce a new improvement to the UCSC Genome Browser: the
+<b>Visible Tracks</b> group. The Genome Browser now includes a dynamic track group that
+automatically displays all currently visible tracks in one convenient location. This means you no
+longer need to hunt through multiple track categories to adjust tracks you've already turned on.
+</p>
+<div class="text-center">

+</div>
+<p>
+Previously, managing visible tracks required navigating back to their original categories &mdash;
+whether that was Genes and Gene Predictions, Conservation, Variation, or any other group. Now, all
+your active tracks appear together in the <b>Visible Tracks</b> group, making it faster and easier
+to adjust display modes for visible tracks.
+</p>
+<p>
+We would like to thank Chris Lee and Jairo Navarro Gonzalez for their work on creating and testing
+the feature.</p>

 We are excited to introduce <a href="/cgi-bin/hgHubConnect#hubUpload">Hub Space</a>, a new
 hosting service that allows users to upload and visualize track hub files directly on the UCSC
 Genome Browser without relying on third-party hosting services such as Dropbox, Google Drive, or
 AWS.
