+
+Save a connection once, choose who can use it, and select it in your workflow blocks. Keys and connection details stay in one place instead of being copied into every block.
+
+Introduced in v0.9.53 and expanded in v0.9.54, saved credentials now cover more services that previously asked for keys directly. Existing blocks keep working with their original settings. To use a saved connection, replace a legacy block with its current version and select the credential.
+
+### Keyless connections in v0.9.53
+
+Supported cloud services can trust Sim to obtain temporary access instead of storing a long-lived key. Start with the [AWS guide](https://docs.sim.ai/integrations/aws-credentials) or [Databricks guide](https://docs.sim.ai/integrations/databricks-credentials). Your cloud administrator must configure that trust and the permissions it grants. Self-hosted deployments also need workload identity configured.
+
+### Read-only keys and expiration
+
+Create an API key with **Read only** access and an expiration date under **Sim API keys** in account or workspace settings. Added in v0.9.53 and generally available in v0.9.54, read-only keys let a script inspect information without changing workspace resources or starting, resuming, or cancelling workflows.
+
+Search and other allowed reads can still consume credits or call connected services. Existing keys retain full access; choose the narrower option when creating a new key. [API key access and expiration](https://docs.sim.ai/api-reference/authentication#key-access).
+
+Technical releases: [v0.9.53](https://github.com/simstudioai/sim/releases/tag/v0.9.53), [v0.9.54](https://github.com/simstudioai/sim/releases/tag/v0.9.54).

+# Connect once and control how credentials are used
+
+Edition identity: `manual-saved-credentials-and-access`. Part of the November 11 editorial catch-up through v0.9.54. Published on the review date, not backdated to the source releases. Canonical: https://www.sim.ai/changelog/saved-credentials-and-access.
+
+## Editorial selection
+
+Reviewed the complete commit inventory since v0.9.32 alongside every published stable release through v0.9.54. The four focused stories cover Search/browser work, reusable credentials/access, workflow management, and media creation. Internal refactors, dependency and CI changes, routine validation/retry fixes, and marketing-library edits stay in technical history. People remains gated and its redesign was reverted; scheduled-job runtime without a public creation path is not announced. Provider/model additions do not lead just because they are new. No forced length or category quota.
+
+Each section identifies the actual release carrying its changes. There is no single release URL or reused technical-release RSS identifier; the canonical article URL identifies this edition. The image-to-video story incorporates the unfinished automated November 9 brief without duplicating an existing published article.

+
+All listed source merge commits are ancestors of the successfully deployed v0.9.54 production release. Release membership comes from explicit PR references, not timestamps. Current source, deployed documentation, production availability, permission boundaries and relevant provider restrictions were checked. Read-only verification does not establish a new third-party action, paid generation, keyless cloud setup, or workflow execution.
+
+## Media
+
+Original generated editorial illustration, 1672 × 941. Prompt: “Use case: stylized-concept. Create an original editorial illustration for a Sim changelog article about reusable credentials and carefully controlled access. Wide 16:9 composition. A quiet monumental pale concrete gateway with two offset rectangular openings, viewed obliquely across a rocky plateau, distant mountain ridges visible through the opening. Architectural clarity, soft cloudy daylight, painterly graphite and gouache texture, strictly grayscale, restrained mid-gray contrast, fine natural texture. Sophisticated calm landscape like a hand-painted architectural study. No people, no locks or keys as icons, no text, no logos, no interface, no color, no borders. Single complete image.”
+
+This is conceptual art, not product UI or evidence of an execution. Independently verified behavior comes from the source changes and live product/docs.
+
+Final immutable asset: `/changelog/credentials-gateway-v1.jpg`. The shared media frame, radius and lightbox are unchanged. Original files and generation provenance are preserved privately. No credentials, private workspace content, performance claims or generated product controls appear in the asset.

+Source #9595, explicitly released in v0.9.42, removed Sign out other devices from General settings. The article now states that current availability, with a substantive updated date. Its original publication date, slug, media and canonical RSS identity are preserved. The original v0.9.26 release claim remains historical rather than presenting a removed control as available.

+
+Search can now take you from finding information to acting on it in the same conversation. Ask Assistant to draft an email or create a Jira issue using your connected account. Writes ask for review by default: check the account, destination, and content, edit supported fields, then allow or cancel each proposal.
+
+This arrived in v0.9.37. Set **Allow**, **Ask**, or **Block** for supported tools under Integrations. Your organization must enable Search and the relevant apps; account permissions and source restrictions still apply. [Review actions](https://docs.sim.ai/search/ask-questions#review-actions).
+
+### More ways to work
+
+- **v0.9.45 — Multiple accounts:** Search across up to five accounts per supported app, such as two Google Drive accounts, without disconnecting one to use the other; some providers still allow one. [Connect accounts](https://docs.sim.ai/search/connect-your-account).
+- **v0.9.44 — Sim in Chrome:** Attach pages or selected passages, add another page, and dictate a question into an editable draft. Open shared team destinations with `go/` or `sim/` shortcuts when Links is enabled. [Browser extension guide](https://docs.sim.ai/browser-extension). Chat requires a paid Sim plan or available prepaid credits.
+- **v0.9.43 — Web citations:** When enabled, Assistant can fill gaps with public web results and cite them alongside your connected sources.
+- **v0.9.39 — Desktop sign-in:** On macOS, finish a passkey sign-in in an installed Chrome-family browser and bring that site's session back to Sim. [Desktop guide](https://docs.sim.ai/desktop).

+Give a video a starting point you already like. In v0.9.48, the Video Generator can use an uploaded image or a file from an earlier step as the start frame for supported fal.ai models. Add your prompt to describe how the scene should develop.
+
+Choose a compatible model to reveal **Start Frame**. Available duration, resolution, aspect ratio, and audio settings follow that model's image-to-video capabilities. Models without start-frame support remain text-to-video only.
+
+Use your own fal.ai key, or Sim's hosted access on an eligible paid plan. Generation is billed by usage. Pass the resulting file to another step or [save it to workspace Files](https://docs.sim.ai/files/generating#save-an-existing-file).
+
+### More creative options
+
+- **v0.9.43:** Updated Image Generator and Video Generator model pickers expose each supported model's settings, so you can choose the format and controls your task needs.
+- **v0.9.47:** [Higgsfield](/integrations/higgsfield) joins both generators. You can also type a model not yet listed; custom models accept a prompt only, and custom fal.ai endpoints require your own key. [Higgsfield setup](https://docs.sim.ai/integrations/higgsfield).
