Explore Projects Remotely with Viewer for QGIS

Now, you can view a project from the Data Exchange in QGIS without downloading the whole project to your computer. You can choose and view any of the project's spatial layers or predefined views from the project tree in the Riverscapes Viewer pane. This allows you to quickly contextualize your local data with a remote project. If you need to analyze a dataset, the download tool makes it easy for you to get it in its original format.

Provide Attribution (Credits) on Projects in Riverscapes Data Exchange

Recognize partner organizations with the new attributions feature in the Data Exchange. You can designate each partner with the roles they played in producing the data project, for example as Analyst, Designer, or Funder. While a project has only one administrative owner, a project can have multiple partner organizations attributed to it. This new connection between projects and organizations is visible on both project detail pages and organization detail pages in the data exchange.
