Umbraco 14 has removed the backoffice tours feature that was present in Umbraco 13, which introduced users to CMS functionalities. Although there were intentions to re-implement this feature in future versions, AndyButland states that efforts will focus on enhancing documentation and video resources instead, as custom tours were not widely adopted.

Andy Butland announces that Razor run-time compilation is now obsolete, urging against its use in production. This change affects Umbraco features like the BackOfficeDevelopment runtime mode and InMemoryAuto models builder, which will be removed in Umbraco 19. Users are advised to edit templates as .cshtml views and utilize dotnet watch for hot reload.

During a migration from Nested Content to Block List in Umbraco 13, Johan Reitsma encountered an issue where the `umbracoExternalLogin` table was empty due to unconfigured external login providers in `appsettings.json`. This led Umbraco to automatically remove external login records. To prevent this, it's advised to configure dummy values for external login credentials during local migrations.
