+ * Workbench is now Playground in the Claude Console. Playground supports every Messages API parameter and includes templates that demonstrate API features such as code execution and web search. It shows the full SDK request and the API response for each run, to help you understand the API and build with it. For more, see the Claude Help Center or try it at platform.claude.com/playground.

  * The Compliance API now returns transcripts of Cowork and Claude Code sessions that run on your users' machines, in beta for Claude Enterprise organizations. GET /v1/compliance/apps/sessions/local lists sessions across your organization, GET /v1/compliance/apps/sessions/local/{session_id} retrieves one session's metadata, and GET /v1/compliance/apps/sessions/local/{session_id}/messages returns its transcript, all with your existing Compliance Access Key and the read:compliance_user_data scope. See Sessions on users' machines.
  * We've added the anthropic-workspace-id response header to the Claude API. It carries the wrkspc_-prefixed ID of the workspace that the request's API key or access token resolved to, including your organization's Default Workspace. See Identify the workspace behind an API response.
