- Confirm your organization’s compliance needs are met with the Netlify trust center
- Protect your backend with Private Connectivity

Some of these features may require a certain pricing plan.
# For cross-functional release partners
- Give feedback on preview sites with a visual feedback “toolbox” called the Netlify Drawer
- From a preview site, open issues in different issue-tracking tools, such as Linear, GitHub, Trello, and more. For example, request Design help in a new card in Trello and request QA testing help in a new issue in Linear.
- Stay updated on feedback on a preview site and send feedback notifications to a Slack workspace with our Netlify App for Slack
