# Terminology changes

Starting from the ThoughtSpot 8 Cloud November release, the term **Pinboard** will appear as **Liveboard** in ThoughtSpot application UI and websites. As part of rebranding, the `pinboard` terminology in ThoughtSpot application and other related interfaces has been updated. For example, the **pinboard** instances in the ThoughtSpot UI and Visual Embed SDK libraries now show as `Liveboard`.

> **IMPORTANT:** We are in the process of rolling out terminology changes across all ThoughtSpot interfaces, platforms, websites, and information artifacts. During this period, your environment may show some instances of pinboard based on the rebranding rollout stage. For detailed information about the impacted interfaces and the terminology changes, see the following sections.

## Application components and interfaces with legacy terminology

To ensure that existing customizations and integrations work seamlessly, the following application components and interfaces will continue to use the legacy terminology:

-   REST API endpoint URLs
    
-   Metadata object headers and dependent object references
    
    For example, `PINBOARD_ANSWER_BOOK` is a valid metadata object `type` that represents a Liveboard object.
    
-   Query, path, and formData parameters in REST APIs
    
-   Attribute values, object properties, and API responses
    
-   Pinboard URLs in the application UI and system-generated links
    
-   Object references in TML files
