Hi Everyone!
We’re back again with the Weekly Recap. We appreciate everyone chiming in last week and providing feedback on how we can improve. While we are not implementing anything just yet, know that we’ve read all the comments and are looking into what’s possible! 
As a reminder - this post gathers all our announcements and updates from the Developer Forum. Our goal is to keep you informed of the latest news and developments at Roblox at a high level. For more information or to leave feedback, please do so in their official threads.
Please note: We eventually intend to lock these posts and direct conversations to their respective forum threads. However, for the next couple of recaps, comments will be left open to gather additional feedback on how we can improve the weekly recap.
Thank you.
