* AzureHound collects Federated Identity Credentials (FICs) from Azure and adds new nodes and edges in BloodHound to represent these trust relationships.
* BloodHound Enterprise now allows you to upload nodes and edges in separate OpenGraph data payloads without losing disconnected nodes after ingestion.

<Warning>It also includes a [breaking change](/resources/release-notes/2026-03-23#bloodhound-4) for OpenGraph data payloads.</Warning>
