SSMS 21 Spotlight: What's new and why it matters, Part II
2025TL; DR
In this session we'll take a tour of SSMS 21 and new features including the new connection dialog and Git integration. We'll also share plans for SQL 2025.
Session Details
In the second half of our session about SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) 21, we'll cover updates you'll find throughout SSMS such as changes to Azure authentication, and improvements in the query editor and results grid. Folks have been excited about support for Git in SSMS, so we'll show you how to get started. If Git is new to you, it may seem daunting. Don't worry, if we can figure it out, so can you!
Expect lots of demos, as many tips, tricks, and updates as we can fit in, and of course, time for questions.
