@@ -12,10 +12,12 @@ For upgrade instructions, please check the [migration guide](MIGRATIONS.md).
 ### Added
 - Indicating active nml downloads with a loading icon. [#4228](https://github.com/scalableminds/webknossos/pull/4228)
 - Added possibility for users to see their own time statistics. [#4220](https://github.com/scalableminds/webknossos/pull/4220)
+- The segmentation layer can now be turned invisible and also supports the find data feature. [#4232](https://github.com/scalableminds/webknossos/pull/4232)
 
 ### Changed
 - Each of the  columns of the dataset table and explorative annotations table in the dashboard now have an individual fixed width, so the tables become scrollable on smaller screens. [#4207](https://github.com/scalableminds/webknossos/pull/4207)
 - When uploading a zipped annotation (such as volume / hybrid / collection), the zip name is used for the resulting explorative annotation, rather than the name of the contained NML file. [#4222](https://github.com/scalableminds/webknossos/pull/4222)
+- Color and segmentation layer are not longer treated separately in the dataset settings in tracing/view mode.  [#4232](https://github.com/scalableminds/webknossos/pull/4232)
 
 ### Fixed
 - Data for disabled or invisible layers will no longer be downloaded, saving bandwidth and speeding up webKnossos in general. [#4202](https://github.com/scalableminds/webknossos/pull/4202)
