A: Currently its available in US East (N. Virginia), US West (Oregon), Asia Pacific (Sydney), and Europe (Ireland), and we’ll expand availability to additional AWS Regions over the coming months. Quick is evolution of Quick Sight that is why from console you will see both Quick and Quick Sight is navigating to same page, if future it will be Quick only

Virginia), US West (Oregon), Asia Pacific (Sydney), and Europe (Ireland), and we’ll expand availability to additional AWS Regions over the coming months. if in these regions you still dont see the Quick features, ask your admin to check if there is any custom permissions in place that could prevent your access

A: yes you should as long as there is no blockage at the admin level
Q: What should I do if I have admin access but still don’t see Quick features?
A: As an admin if you go to N virginia, validate if you still dont see Quick suite feature like spaces, flow.

Please note that these features will have infra fees associated with it.
