+
+The dbt Cloud IDE now automatically installs `dbt deps` when your environment starts or when necessary. Previously, it would prompt you to run `dbt deps` during initialization. However, you still need to run `dbt deps` if you modify your `packages.yml` file.
+
+This improved workflow is available to all multi-tenant dbt Cloud users (Single-tenant support coming next week) and applies to dbt versions.
