## New Features

> ### Reloading Window Groups
>
> To [reload](https://docs.interop.io/desktop/capabilities/windows/window-management/javascript/index.md#window_groups-group_operations-reload) a window group, use the [`reload()`](https://docs.interop.io/desktop/reference/javascript/windows/group/index.md#Group-reload) method of a [`Group`](https://docs.interop.io/desktop/reference/javascript/windows/group/index.md) instance:
>
> ```javascript
> const myGroup = await io.windows.groups.getMyGroup();
>
> await myGroup.reload();
> ```
>
> > ⚠️ *Note that this feature is available only for [web groups](https://docs.interop.io/desktop/capabilities/windows/window-management/overview/index.md#window_groups-web_groups).*

> ### Defining Move Areas for the Workspaces App via CSS
>
> The [`@interopio/workspaces-ui-react`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@interopio/workspaces-ui-react) library now supports using the `-webkit-app-region: drag` and `-webkit-app-region: no-drag` styles for any elements of your custom Workspaces App in order to define them as [custom draggable areas](https://www.electronjs.org/docs/latest/tutorial/window-customization#set-custom-draggable-region). This enables you to define any area of your custom Workspaces App as a [move area](https://docs.interop.io/desktop/capabilities/windows/workspaces/overview/index.md#extending_workspaces-header_components-move_area).
>
> The following demonstrates how using the `-webkit-app-region: drag` style for the Logo element of the Workspaces App transforms the Logo element into a move area:
>
> ![Workspaces Move Area](https://docs.interop.io/desktop/images/workspaces/move-area.mp4)
>
> > ⚠️ *Note that as of **io.Connect Desktop** 9.8.1 and version 3.5.2 of the `@interopio/workspaces-ui-react` library, the `<MoveArea />` component is deprecated. To define move areas in your custom Workspaces App, you must now use the `-webkit-app-region: drag` and `-webkit-app-region: no-drag` styles. The `<MoveArea />` component is still available for the older versions of **io.Connect Desktop** and the `@interopio/workspaces-ui-react` library.*
