Why is the Saved View feature not available in the standalone deployment version? Does it require an additional license purchase?

Hello Speckle Team,

I hope this message finds you well. I have successfully deployed SpeckleServer 2.27.1 locally, and I would like to seek your guidance on a feature-related question.

Here is my current yml configuration file:

version: '2.3'
name: 'speckle-server'

  postgres:
    image: 'postgres:16.9-alpine'
    restart: always

The deployment is working well overall, but I’ve noticed that the “Saved View” feature is not appearing in the projects I’ve created. Upon investigating the frontend-2 codebase, I found that the Saved View feature is controlled by the following condition:

export const useAreSavedViewsEnabled = () => {
  const {
    public: { FF_SAVED_VIEWS_ENABLED, FF_WORKSPACES_MODULE_ENABLED }
  } = useRuntimeConfig()
 
  return !!(FF_SAVED_VIEWS_ENABLED && FF_WORKSPACES_MODULE_ENABLED)
}

Based on this, I have a few questions that I would greatly appreciate your help with:

  1. Does this mean that a workspace license is required to enable the Saved View feature in self-hosted deployments?
  2. If not, could you please guide me on how to configure the environment variables or settings to enable this feature?
  3. Are there any plans to make this basic viewer functionality freely available for self-hosted versions in the future?

I understand that you have a lot on your plate, and I truly appreciate any guidance or clarification you can provide on this matter. Thank you so much for your excellent work on Speckle and for taking the time to help the community!

Best regards,
zhuzhu

Thank you for your reply. I would like to use this feature—could you please guide me on how to purchase the license, and what the approximate cost would be?
