MongoDB Compass is becoming more open than ever, with the beta release of Compass 1.20 making all repositories public under the SSPL and offering free access to users. This version includes a redesigned connection experience, allowing users to paste in connection strings directly, as well as features such as viewing, creating, and editing documents directly in JSON. Additionally, UUID fields are now displayed clearly and can be queried using Compass. The future of MongoDB Compass is open for suggestions from the community.
