With every release, we update the data model to better support evolving needs and new feature functionality. With this release, we’ve added the following components to the Quality data model. These data model updates are automatically included in all Quality Vaults, but Admins must make configuration changes to make them available. For information on feature functionality, see What’s New in 21R3.
