# What's new in P4V 2025.4

Released: December 2025

For a complete list of what’s new and bug fixes in this release, see the release notes.

## Streamline a workspace view

Reduce sync time, disk usage, and network consumption by restricting your workspace view to exclude unnecessary files or directories. This is especially helpful when working with streams as you can now avoid the use of virtual streams to achieve this objective.

To learn more, see Limit a workspace view.

## New Message of the Day (MOTD) window for important messages

Added a new Message of the Day (MOTD) window in P4V to communicate time-sensitive announcements, such as scheduled maintenance or updates on server availability.

To learn more, see Manage properties in P4 Admin Documentation.

## Improved guidance with icon tooltips

New icon tooltips provide context-sensitive guidance.
