HDX™ graphics superresolution upscaling
| Technical Preview from 2507 release | Feedback form |
The HDX graphics superresolution upscaling feature enhances session performance and significantly reduces bandwidth consumption.
HDX Graphics Superresolution upscaling seamlessly downscales video regions on the Virtual Desktop Agent (VDA) and utilizes a compatible endpoint Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) to upscale them back to their original resolution without noticeable quality degradation or performance impact.
For more information, see HDX Graphics Superresolution Upscaling.
Cross-session clipboard exchange
| Technical Preview from 2507 release | Feedback form |
Cross session clipboard exchange is a new data loss prevention and mitigating control for clipboard.
It enables clipboard data to be shared between Citrix sessions without placing the data on the local endpoint’s clipboard. Cross session clipboard exchange works in conjunction with the current clipboard polices to provide a more secure method of sharing clipboard data between VDA and client.
For more information, see Cross session Clipboard Exchange (Preview).
Browser Profile Sharing in Browser Content Redirection
| Technical Preview from 2507 release | Feedback form |
Browser Content Redirection (BCR) now offers a streamlined user experience with the new Profile Sharing feature, enabling VDA-side authentication and cookie sharing. This enhancement eliminates redundant logins, boosting productivity by maintaining authentication and cookie persistence across BCR sessions, even after the BCR window is closed. This seamless experience further enhances security by ensuring authentication originates from the VDA, not the client.
Example:
- Previous experience: Previously, opening an authenticated page within BCR required users to re-enter their credentials each time, breaking SSO persistence. SSO was only maintained while the BCR window remained open. Closing and reopening the window forced users to repeat the login process.
- New experience: With Profile Sharing, users are no longer prompted for credentials. SSO is seamlessly preserved from the VDA browser, providing a significantly improved and uninterrupted experience.

Hybrid launch support using GACS for cloud stores
| Technical Preview from 2503 release | Feedback form |
Starting with version 2503, Citrix Workspace app for Windows supports Global App Configuration Service (GACS) in Hybrid mode for Cloud stores, using the Citrix Workspace launcher. This allows administrators to configure GACS settings through stores added using the browser, streamlining the management of client experiences. This feature is disabled by default for cloud store users. To enable the feature, contact Citrix using the Google form. For more information, see GACS supports hybrid launch.
Screen recording for specific applications
| Technical Preview from 2503 release | Feedback form |
Citrix Workspace™ app supports session recording for Secure Private Access scenarios, including Web and SaaS applications accessed through Citrix Enterprise Browser.
You can configure recording policies for Citrix Enterprise Browser. These policies can target specific applications, users, or groups.
When an end user launches an application through Citrix Enterprise Browser, and a matching recording policy applies, the user activities are recorded as a video stream. The video stream is then transferred to the Session Recording server for persistent storage. You can provide and manage the storage locations.
For more information, see Session Recording documentation.
Microsoft Teams Optimization support for ARM64-based devices
| Technical Preview from 2405 release | Feedback form |
From the 2405 release, Citrix Workspace app for Windows supports the following feature on the ARM64 based devices.
The prerequisites and system requirements remain the same as installing the app on other architectures. As part of the Citrix Workspace app for Windows installation, the Browser Content Redirection and Microsoft Teams Optimization also get installed.
Quick Launch of Disconnected Desktops
| Technical Preview from 2209 release | Feedback form |
By enabling this feature, you can open your previously disconnected desktops instantly. Once this feature is enabled, Citrix Workspace app launches the disconnected sessions in hidden mode. The session is instantly presented when you launch the desktop.
Local App Protection
| Technical Preview from 2210 release | Feedback form |
App Protection offers enhanced security to defend our customers against Keyloggers, accidental and malicious screen capture at endpoints. Currently, App Protection capabilities are only offered for Workspace resources. With Local App Protection, App Protection capabilities are extended to local apps on endpoints. Starting with Citrix Workspace app 2210 for Windows, App Protection can be applied to local apps on Windows devices.
