> **Note:** This changelog entry is historical. Edge Functions are deprecated for new projects. Use [Vercel Functions](https://vercel.com/docs/functions) with the Node.js runtime and [Fluid compute](https://vercel.com/docs/fluid-compute). Use [Routing Middleware](https://vercel.com/docs/routing-middleware) for request-time routing before a response completes.

- **Draft Mode: **Users on any plan can now enable [Draft Mode](https://vercel.com/docs/frameworks/nextjs#draft-mode) from the Vercel toolbar. When you do so, the toolbar color changes to purple to indicate you are viewing draft content.
- **Skew Protection**: You can now implement [Skew Protection](https://vercel.com/docs/concepts/deployments/skew-protection) to eliminate version skew between web clients and servers on Next.js version 13.4.7 or newer. The Skew Protection platform primitive is available to all frameworks.
- **Storage transfers: **When** **Hobby users upgrade to Pro, their [stores](https://vercel.com/docs/storage) will be transferred to the new team.
- **Configured Ignored Build Step script:** When rebuilding or promoting a deployment in a project with a [Ignored Build Step script](https://vercel.com/docs/concepts/projects/overview#ignored-build-step) now you can explicitly skip the ignore build step script, forcing the build to happen.
- **System environment variables:** `VERCEL_BRANCH_URL` with the generated Git branch URL has been added to the system env vars to access a deployment’s [Git branch alias](https://vercel.com/docs/concepts/deployments/generated-urls#url-with-git-branch) from within their code.
- **Faster deployment times:** Projects with Edge Functions are now faster to deploy by: 2 seconds on average, 9 seconds in slow cases, and up a 20 second improvement in the slowest case.
- **Git metadata**: You can now see Git metadata for deployments when there are unstaged changes.
- **Vercel CLI:** [v30.2.3](https://github.com/vercel/vercel/releases/tag/vercel%4030.2.3) was published with updates to dependencies for Node and Remix.
