Summary

Added documentation for in-app notifications feature and updated terminology from 'analytics data lake' to 'data lake' throughout the document

Security assessment

The in-app notifications feature allows sending messages with URLs to users, but there's no evidence of security vulnerabilities being addressed. The terminology change from 'analytics data lake' to 'data lake' appears to be branding consistency without security implications. No security controls, vulnerabilities, or incidents are mentioned in the changes.

+### In-app notifications keep users informed of urgent updates and actions
+
+Amazon Connect Now users in the Amazon Connect admin website can be provided notifications in their header, so urgent updates and follow-on actions can be seen from any page within the Amazon Connect admin website. APIs allow services and customers to publish brief messages (including URLs) to a specified audience, and a new header icon will indicate when unread messages are available. On click, the user can read the message, mark as unread if necessary, and follow links to reports or other UIs if follow-on actions are advised.

-Agent time-off balance data is available in the Amazon Connect analytics data lake, making it easier for you to generate reports and insights from this data. You access the latest and historical agent time-off balances across different time-off categories (paid time-off, sick leave, leave of absence, etc.) in the analytics data lake. You can also view a chronological list of all transactions that impacted the balance. For example, if an agent starts with 80 hours of paid time-off on January 1, submits a 20-hour request on January 3, and later cancels it, you can see each transaction's impact on the final 80-hour balance. This makes time-off management easier by eliminating the need for managers to manually reconcile balances and time-off transactions.
