Chat UX overhaul, v2 early access, brand refresh, and standalone CLI
Superset ships a major update with a redesigned chat experience, early access v2 workspace, and a new Superset CLI. It also refreshes the desktop brand and makes GitHub integration free on every plan.
A big update covering the last three weeks
The chat interface got a top-to-bottom UX overhaul with a new rich-text prompt editor, slash-command and file-mention chips, and a redesigned tool-call system. The v2 workspace is now in early access, with panes, a diff viewer, a file editor, a review tab, and a browser pane. The Superset CLI shipped and then grew a self-contained tarball that can run the host-service anywhere. The desktop app got a full brand refresh, and GitHub integration is now free on every plan.
Chat UX overhaul #3039
Chat UX overhaul
Tiptap prompt inputThe prompt is now a ProseMirror-based rich text editor with inline chips for commands and file references.
- Slash command chips — type / to open a command menu; the command becomes an inline chip anywhere in the message instead of submitting immediately. Chips with an argumentHint expose an inline editable input with auto-sizing and keyboard nav; /model shows a dropdown of available models.
- File mention chips — type @ to open a file-search popover anchored to the cursor. Picking a file inserts a chip that serializes to @path on send.
- Skill preload — /command chips are extracted before the LLM turn so the harness loads the right skill first. A SkillToolCall row shows in the message while the skill loads.
- Preview on hover — hovering a chip shows a popover with its description (hidden while an arg input is focused).
- IME composition guard prevents submit while CJK input is pending; Tab no longer auto-selects commands (Enter or click only).
- Compact, monospaced ToolInput / ToolOutput / ToolHeader layout with a braille spinner and left-side icons
- Subagent activity rendered inline as a collapsible tool wrapper, with full markdown for task prompt and response
- Clickable file names on every file-related tool call row (read, write, LSP inspect) — clicking opens the file in the editor pane
- Syntax-highlighted read-file output with filename header and line-range label; expand/collapse and copy on every code block
- Footer overlay with pinned header/footer and scrollable option buttons — no more inline question UI
- Status chips (Awaiting Response / Answered / Cancelled) with a collapsible answer bubble; cancelled shows immediately when aborted
- Optimistic dismiss on submit; prompt textarea auto-focuses after answering
- ask_user is now required for all Superset questions — no plain-text fallbacks
- A pending question puts an orange dot on the workspace nav and fires a native OS toast, driven server-side through the lifecycle event pipeline so it works when the tab is unfocused
- Orange dot clears immediately on answer submit
- Auto-scroll to bottom on message send, new question arrival, and answer submit
The v2 workspace is in early access
v2 workspace early access
v2 is a ground-up rebuild of the workspace aimed at cloud. We tore out v1's accumulated cruft, rewrote the terminal from scratch to fix the rendering glitches, and re-architected the app like a real IDE — Tab → Split → Pane, a proper file tree with git decorations, a full editor, and a diff viewer that handles large changesets. Opt-in for now; here's what's in the box:
Pane layout system #3088Pane layout system
A new flexible Tab → Split → Pane structure built on the @superset/panes package, with weighted resizable splits.
- Drag and drop panes to rearrange them
- Drag to reorder tabs within a tab group
- Right-click pane headers for split / close / close others
- Double-click a split separator to equalize pane sizes
- Cmd+Alt+Arrow moves focus between panes
- Closing the active pane focuses the nearest sibling
Diff viewer
v2 diff viewer
A GitHub-style multi-file diff pane with lazy loading, a persistent "Viewed" state synced to the sidebar Changes list, unified/split view toggles, and header actions for collapse, expand unchanged, copy, and revert. Open it in its own tab with ⌘⇧L.
File editor #3526File editor
v2 file tree and editor
A full editor pane — foundation, views, and a large stability pass. The file tree shows git decorations inline.
Review tab #3463Review tab
PR info, checks, and comments rendered inline in the v2 workspace, matching the v1 review experience.
PR checkout and launch context #3525 #3467PR checkout and launch context
Check out a PR directly from v2 via a widened checkout procedure, and compose a full launch context (selected files, instructions, branch state) before starting work.
Browser pane #3346Browser pane
Pages stay loaded across tab switches and workspace navigations — no reloads, no lost scroll or form state. URL bar, back/forward/reload, history autocomplete, DevTools, screenshots, and hard reload from the overflow menu.
Git Changes sidebar #3177Git Changes sidebar
A Changes tab in the right sidebar showing ahead/behind status, commit count, and a filterable file list. Filter by all changes, uncommitted only, a single commit, or a commit range. Searchable base-branch picker and inline rename for unpushed branches.
Superset CLI #3194Superset CLI
The superset CLI lets you manage Superset from your terminal, and ships as a self-contained tarball so you can run the host-service on a remote server, CI box, or cloud VM without the desktop app.
Binaries for macOS (arm64, x64) and Linux x64. --json output mode for scripting and agent use.
Brand refresh #3367Brand refresh
Brand refresh — new logo and icon treatment
New logo and icon treatment across the desktop app, DMG installer background, tray icon, and wordmark. In dev builds, each workspace gets a color-coded corner fold on the dock icon so open workspaces are distinguishable at a glance.
GitHub integration is free #3152GitHub integration is free
PR review, issue linking, and push-from-desktop are available on every plan — no Pro subscription required.

Looker Studio rebrands as Data Studio and brings a refreshed home page, a new Conversational Analytics experience, BigQuery data agent sharing to Data Studio, Gemini renaming, and Pro sharing policy management for team workspace assets.
Feature
Data Studio rebrand and updated home page
We've rebranded Looker Studio as Data Studio. We've also updated the home page to give you a single place to access your Data Studio reports and data sources, BigQuery conversational agents, and data apps built in Colab notebooks. For more information, see our blog.
Feature
Gemini in Looker is now Gemini in Data Studio.
Learn more about Gemini in Data Studio.
Feature
Share your BigQuery data agents to Data Studio
Available in preview, you can create data agents in BigQuery and then publish them automatically to Data Studio for use with Conversational Analytics.
Feature
A new Conversational Analytics experience
Available in preview, Conversational Analytics offers a new experience with the following changes:
- Conversational Analytics is now available to all Data Studio users.
- Conversational Analytics no longer requires that Gemini in Data Studio (formerly, Gemini in Looker) is enabled.
- You can consume data agents that were created in BigQuery, but can no longer create data agents directly in Data Studio.
To access your past conversations and data agents, you can switch back to the legacy view of Conversational Analytics as needed.
Learn more about the differences between the legacy and new Conversational Analytics experiences.
Feature
Pro feature: Manage sharing policy for assets in team workspaces
In Looker Studio Pro team workspaces, assets such as reports and data sources might not have an individual owner. This can make it difficult to manage sharing permissions for those assets, especially if the person who created the asset leaves your organization.
If an asset is located in a team workspace or folder, a Policy User may be designated for that asset. Looker Studio uses the Policy User's account to determine which organizational sharing policies apply.

Amazon Quick Introduces Sheet Tooltips for Rich, Contextual Data Exploration
Amazon Quicksight adds sheet tooltips, giving authors a richer way to show contextual details on hover with visuals, text, and images in free-form tooltip sheets. The feature supports automatic filtering, multiple visual types, and is now available across supported regions.
Quick Sight in Amazon Quick now supports sheet tooltips, enabling authors to surface rich, contextual detail when viewers hover over data points — without disrupting their analysis flow. Sheet tooltips allow authors to create dedicated tooltip sheets containing visuals, text boxes, and images arranged in a free-form layout. When a viewer hovers over a data point, the tooltip sheet automatically inherits all filters from the source visual and applies an additional filter for the specific data point, delivering an instant, focused breakdown.
This enhancement helps organizations build more intuitive dashboards that reduce the need for multiple sheets or manual navigation. For example, a bar chart showing sales by product category can surface a trend line of monthly sales, a year-over-year growth KPI, and a text box with the category name — all filtered to whichever category the viewer hovers over. Authors can assign one tooltip sheet to multiple visuals, switch between basic, detailed, and sheet tooltip types at any time, and tables and pivot tables are also supported. Sheet tooltips are available on interactive sheets only.
This feature is now available in all Amazon Quick regions where Quick Sight is supported. Learn more about how to use sheet tooltips in Amazon Quick and read more about this new feature in our blog post.
This is a companion discussion topic for the original entry at https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/whats-new/2026/04/quick-sheet-tooltips/

Amazon Quick Enables Sparklines for Inline Trend Visualization in Tables
Amazon Quicksight now supports sparklines in table cells, letting authors add compact line or area trend visuals directly inside rows for faster at-a-glance analysis. The update brings customizable inline trends to dashboards across supported regions.
Quick Sight in Amazon Quick now supports sparklines, enabling authors to embed compact, inline trend visualizations directly within table cells.
Sparklines allow users to display line or area charts inside individual table columns, providing at-a-glance trend context alongside their data without requiring separate chart visuals. Authors can add sparklines to tables by configuring a metric with a date dimension, and Quick automatically renders a miniature trend line within each row.
This enhancement helps organizations quickly identify patterns, anomalies, and directional trends within tabular data — such as revenue over time by product, weekly ticket volumes by team, or monthly utilization by region — without navigating away from the table view. Sparklines support customization options including visual type (line or area), line color, line interpolation (linear, smooth, or stepped), and Y-axis behavior (shared or independent scaling across rows), giving authors flexibility to tailor the visualization to their dashboard's needs.
This feature is now available in all Amazon Quick regions where Quick Sight is supported. Learn more about how to add sparklines to your tables in Amazon Quick.

Configurable preview size
Qlik Cloud adds configurable dataset preview sizes of 100 or 1,000 rows, giving users a broader view of data quality issues and a more flexible preview filtering experience for faster, more reliable validation.
April 1, 2026
Configurable preview size
The preview size can now be configured to 100 or 1,000 rows, giving you deeper visibility into data quality issues across a larger slice of your data, enhancing the data preview filtering experience in the meantime.
What's available
This release extends the dataset preview filtering capability with a new preview size option:
Configurable preview size: You can now choose between a 100-row and a 1,000-row preview. This allows for more representative validation checks across a broader portion of your data, including when filtering dataset preview results by quality status (valid, invalid, empty, etc.).
The existing filtering capabilities remain fully available, including filtering by specific validation rules or semantic type results, and viewing the indicators that identify which rule or semantic type triggered an invalid status.
Why this matters
Working with a larger preview reduces the risk of missing edge cases that only appear beyond the first 100 rows. Data engineers and quality leads can now catch a wider range of data quality issues in a single preview session, making validation rule tuning and remediation decisions faster and more reliable.
Configuring data quality
Some functionality may be rolled out in phases and not immediately available in all regions.
