Abstract
This is the MySQL Workbench Reference Manual. It documents the MySQL Workbench Community and MySQL Workbench Commercial releases for versions 8.0 through 8.0.38.
MySQL Workbench is developed and tested with MySQL Server 8.0. MySQL Workbench may connect to MySQL Server 8.4 and higher but some MySQL Workbench features may not function with those later server versions.
MySQL Workbench platform support evolves over time. For the latest platform support information, see https://www.mysql.com/support/supportedplatforms/workbench.html.
For notes detailing the changes in each release, see the MySQL Workbench Release Notes.
For legal information, including licensing information, see the Preface and Legal Notices.
