### Pagination required for List endpoints
List endpoints that did not already require pagination will start requiring pagination on **September 4, 2024.**

**Specific Endpoints:**<br>
[List members](https://help.sigmacomputing.com/reference/listmembers)<br>
[List teams](https://help.sigmacomputing.com/reference/listteams)<br>
[List workspaces](https://help.sigmacomputing.com/reference/listworkspaces)<br>

<aside class="positive">
<strong>IMPORTANT:</strong><br> If you use these endpoints, update your API requests to include the limit query parameter to return a paginated response. After the change, requests without the limit parameter return a paginated response of the default page size (50).

### New file type for List files and List member files endpoints
The `typeFilter` query parameter for the [List files](https://help.sigmacomputing.com/reference/fileslist) and [List member](https://help.sigmacomputing.com/reference/listaccessibleinodes) files endpoints now includes a symlink option that you can use to filter shortcuts in your request.

Shortcuts are also included in the response of requests that do not include a typeFilter.

### New option for Update an inode endpoint
The [Update an inode](https://help.sigmacomputing.com/reference/filesupdate) endpoint now includes the restore option. Include the `restore` option in your request to restore previously deleted files.

## New QuickStarts in July
Duration: 20

### Security: Open Authorization (OAuth)
In this QuickStart, we discuss and demonstrate OAuth, what it is, and why our customers want to use it. This can be a complex topic, so we break it down into easily digestible sections, including Write-back.

In simple language, OAuth provides a secure and efficient way to manage access and permissions between Sigma and Snowflake, leveraging a third-party identity management provider.

Security is on every customers mind these days. To that end, we provide some educational content upfront to help those who are less familiar get acquainted.

### Embedding 14: Parameterized Queries
In this QuickStart, we discuss and demonstrate Sigma embedding using parameterized queries and user attributes.

Parameterized queries are quite useful when embedded customers have per-customer databases with the same schema.

### Custom workbook page width
Set a custom page width for a workbook. Specify a pixel width to constrain the elements on workbook pages to a maximum width. See [Workbook settings overview.](https://help.sigmacomputing.com/docs/workbook-settings-overview#layout-style-settings)

<img src="assets/FFF_07_2024_6.png" width="800"/>

If you export workbook pages to PDF, use this setting to approximate the layout size of a PDF page. See [Format PDF page export layout.](https://help.sigmacomputing.com/docs/configure-additional-options-for-exports#format-pdf-export-page-layout)

### Document shortcuts (Beta)
Customers have requested that we add the ability to save links to documents in more than one location. To support this, Sigma has added shortcuts to make specific data sources easier to find in the source picker, or to organize documents to make key workbooks and data models easier to access.

It is really simple to add a shortcut to any published workbook:

<img src="assets/FFF_07_2024_7.png" width="500"/>

The new workbook shortcut has a different icon that a standard workbook:

See [Add shortcuts to documents](https://help.sigmacomputing.com/docs/add-shortcuts-to-documents) for more details.

### Support for emailing exports to organization users and teams
When configuring an email export, the `Recipients` field now features an autocomplete dropdown that helps you search for and select an organization team or user.
