One Home for Kanzi: Introducing Kanzi Portal

We're consolidating the Kanzi user experience into a single destination: Kanzi Portal (portal.kanzi.com). Going forward, Kanzi Hub is being retired in favor of Portal, which brings together everything you need to design, learn, and manage Kanzi in one place.

Why we're doing this

From the start, the vision for Kanzi was a single home for the full experience — and Portal was built to be that home, with Kanzi Hub eventually stepping back. That transition starts now.

Portal condenses many tools and features into one place — Hub was always just one piece of that picture, and Portal now covers what it did and more. A few concrete examples of what this makes possible:

• License management, streamlined. Org admins can now manage their organization's Kanzi licenses directly in Portal — adding or adjusting licenses as their team's needs change. Instead of reaching out to sales for each request and ending up with a scattered mix of individually-ordered licenses, license needs flow through one admin and one place. This wasn't possible in Hub.
• One place for your account. Users can manage their Kanzi account directly in Portal, rather than needing a separate account-management flow.
• Product news, built in. Updates on new Kanzi products and features now live in Portal itself, instead of requiring a trip to a separate website.

What happens to Kanzi Hub

Hub isn't disappearing overnight, and it isn't going away — but its role is changing. Where Hub used to be a required part of the Kanzi experience, it's becoming an optional enhancement. The next Hub update refocuses it purely on one job: finding and listing the Kanzi projects on your PC. Everything web-connected moves to Portal instead.

What's new in Hub:

• No login required — Hub works locally without signing in
• Automatic discovery of your local Kanzi projects
• Favorite projects filtering, so your most-used work stays close at hand
• Default sorting by last modified, so recent work surfaces first
• A more focused UI, scoped to that one job

What moves to Portal: downloads, documentation, licensing, team management, sample content, and news — anything web-connected. Portal will have full feature parity with today's Hub, and more.

Why: consolidating web-connected functionality in one place (Portal) reduces the cybersecurity surface area of the tools on your machine, and avoids maintaining the same functionality twice in two products.

This update ships alongside — or slightly ahead of — the Portal transition described above.

For users who want an extra layer of convenience, Portal also offers an optional feature called Kanzi Bridge, which can handle plugin/template installs and local project discovery on your behalf. It's entirely optional — Hub and Portal work fully without it.

What you need to do

1. Let the automatic Hub update install — no action required.
2. Bookmark portal.kanzi.com/dashboard as your new starting point for docs, learning, samples, licensing, and team management.## Questions?
