A Place to Find your Recent Downloads in Galaxy
Galaxy 25.1 introduces a dedicated “Recent Exports & Downloads” page that lists your recent exports/downloads.
Visual Indicators for Short-Term Storage Expiration

Galaxy Tools Now Handle Secrets and Authentication
Galaxy 25.1 implements a comprehensive tool credentials system, allowing tools to securely access external services by defining authentication credentials (variables and secrets) in tool requirements while keeping sensitive information separate from tool definitions.
Search for Steps, Tools and Subworkflows within the Workflow Editor
As with many improvements to the Workflow Editor in recent releases, Galaxy 25.1 adds the ability to search for several properties of all elements in the workflow graph, displays the search results in a list, and highlights them when clicked.
