Welcome to our second Community Update! We had an amazing response for the first one and are excited to share the second iteration with you. If you missed our last Community Update, here is what to expect: every other month, we will take some time to shine the spotlight on our community members, share insights and valuable resources we’ve noticed within our community and in the larger world of development.
We're working hard to create a space for Developers to come together and discuss the latest trends in the broader community. In October, we hosted a Twitter Space with Roy Derks about Jamstack & GraphQL. If you missed this discussion and want to make sure you don't miss the next one, follow us on Twitter. That way you can keep up with all of the latest from Hygraph and our community.

#Hygraph Product Update
Hidden & Read-Only Fields are here!
This update allows developers to store information in hidden fields from a UI Extensions. Additionally, this function will give developers the chance to display fields to business users without allowing them to edit the field. Disabling loading or displaying fields in the frontend can also help avoid loading unnecessary data improving load times and overall performance.
Coming Soon: Improved security with Webhook Log Views
A valuable security update on our current Webhooks Feature provides users with a view to see which Webhooks were sent and what the status code returned from their endpoint was.
Coming Soon: Modular Components
Give your Content Editors the flexibility to compose a content item from other structured content building blocks. A specific example would be a page, which is often composed of different components where a component is just a pre-defined set of fields like a banner.
