November 2024 monthly summary for DataDog/documentation: Delivered a targeted documentation update for Cross-Organization Visibility to improve governance and user guidance. Upgraded the Cross-Organization Visibility disclaimer from 'beta' to 'Preview' and added explicit data-sharing guidance. Clarified that destination organizations can query source data (including sensitive data) and may use it to create public dashboards, and documented the impact of removing a connection on existing queries and dashboards. The change was implemented as [CROSSORG-24] Update disclaimer language for Cross-Org Visibility (#26441) with commit 3da6b6f221a28952b7c0b047d88521ce13dc9f50. Business value: reduces ambiguity for customers configuring cross-org visibility, supports governance/compliance, and lowers potential support inquiries. Technical value: clean, focused documentation update with clear risk implications and minimal surface area.
