The New Relic Synthetics [private locations](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/synthetics/synthetic-monitoring/private-locations/private-locations-overview-monitor-internal-sites-add-new-locations) UI has been updated. Private location keys have migrated to a secret store, and key visibility has been removed from several areas of the interface.

## What's changing [#whats-changing]

-   **List view**: The key column has been removed from the private locations list.
-   **Filter**: You can no longer filter private locations by key.
-   **Metadata & tags**: Private location keys no longer appear in the metadata & tags section.
-   **Key access**: Keys are now accessible only through the Edit screen, where you can copy them for your [synthetics job manager](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/synthetics/synthetic-monitoring/private-locations/install-job-manager) configuration.

The Edit screen is the only place where you can view and copy the private location key.

## Filter and search private locations [#filter-locations]

The key filter has been removed. You can now filter and search private locations by:

-   **Location name**: Search by the name you assigned to the private location.
-   **Status**: Filter by active or inactive locations.
-   **[VSE (Verified Script Execution)](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/synthetics/synthetic-monitoring/private-locations/verified-script-execution-private-locations)**: Filter by locations with VSE enabled.
