+  Deep Dive: What's New in Renku 2.0

+description: Core differences between Renku 1.0 and 2.0
+---
+
+Are you a seasoned Renku user who is curious to know the key differences between Renku 1.0 and 2.0?
+Here's a summary of what's new.
+
+![Renku 2.0](./project-page.png)
+
+<!-- truncate -->
+
+### Connect external Code Repositories
+
+You can now connect one or more Git repositories (or none!) to a Renku project.
+
+Unlike in Renku 1.0, a Renku 2.0 project is not a Git repository itself. And when you connect a
+repository, Renku does not modify the code repository in any way. Your code stays as it is, and
+Renku stays out of the way.
+
+![Renku 2.0 Code connections](./code.jpg)
+
+:::tip
+
+[See how to connect a code repository to your Renku
+project](https://renku.notion.site/Code-repository-2bbc38797efe4ed1b5f6be16fd95b82e)
+
+:::
+
+### Data Connectors replace Datasets
+
+There's no need to move your data into Renku - keep it where it's stored and simply link it to your
+project.
+
+Access rights remain fully controlled by the system where your data lives. Renku does not alter
+permissions, so private data stays private.
+
+While data versioning isn't a feature in Renku 2.0, you can trace how a data connector is used
+across projects. Open a data connector's side sheet to see all linked projects.
+
+![Renku 2.0 Data connectors](./data.jpg)

+connectors](https://renku.notion.site/Data-connector-3ae1e46fdb094cc48516a104457e5633)
+
+:::
+
+### Do more with Sessions
+
+Bring a wider range of images to Renku 2.0 without the requirement for Jupyter. This makes the
+platform more versatile and adaptable to your needs.

+
+:::
+
+### Enhanced Sharing
+
+It's much easier to share your project in Renku 2.0. Add collaborators directly to your project, and
+create groups to organize collections of projects and data connectors.
+

+
+:::
+
+### A new vision for Workflows
+
+Instead of building our own workflow tool, Renku 2.0 embraces existing workflow tools. This allows
+you to use the tools you're already familiar with and integrate them seamlessly into your projects.
+
+## Start Exploring Today!

+description: Woohoo!
+---
+
+The wait is over! After a year of dedicated work and six months of testing in beta, Renku 2.0 is now
+open for Early Access. This means our entire user community is invited to explore the new and
+improved version of our open-source collaborative computing platform. Whether you're a seasoned
+Renku user or new to the platform, Renku 2.0 offers exciting possibilities for your research and
+teaching.

+
+### Why Renku 2.0?
+
+Renku's mission has always been to support researchers by enabling collaboration, data
+accessibility, and reusability. With Renku 2.0, we're taking this mission to the next level by
+making it easier than ever to connect data, code, and compute resources into a seamless research
+workflow.
+
+In Renku 2.0, you can:
+
+- **Connect your favorite tools and platforms.** Hook up your Renku project to GitHub repositories,
+  external data sources, and more. Flexible integrations make collaboration easy and powerful.
+- **Create 'Plug and Play' projects.** Mix and match code, data, and compute as needed to suit your
+  project. You can link and reuse resources across multiple projects, too! The platform adapts to
+  you, not the other way around.

+
+### What's Coming Next?
+
+We're working hard to bring you even more features as we prepare for the full **launch of Renku 2.0
+in spring 2025**.
+
+One of the key enhancements on the horizon is the ability to **customize your compute environment**.
+In addition, we'll be making it easier to **migrate projects** into Renku 2.0.
+
+Beyond that, we're planning integrations with data repositories, support for documentation and
+metadata, and connections to external compute systems.
