This week we have many more new features published into MeshCentral, more than we can list here but there are a select few of special interest. Probably the most interesting feature this week are improvements to guest remote desktop sharing where you can share a device with a guest for a limited time using only a URL. In addition to this, the widely used MeshCentral Router tool got an upgrade and is now completely replacing the ClickOnce router that was only supported in Internet Explorer. In detail:   Guest Remote Desktop Link Revocation . As users of MeshCentral know, you can create a time limited link that you can give to someone else to take control of a computer on MeshCentral with no account required. Now, we improved this feature by allowing users to revoke the sharing link at any time. In addition, when a link is revoked, all guest users that are currently using the link will be immediately disconnected. This is a security improvement, but also allows for creating sharing links
