Release Notes

We're excited to share our upcoming launch: View items' metadata directly on the Reporting sidebar by hovering on that item. This helps them browse and find their desired items much faster.

🌟 What's new​

• Before: You have to click to open an item to find extra information about it.
• After: You can now view dashboard/dataset metadata from the Reporting sidebar without having to click to open the item. This helps give more context and easier to find your targeted object.

For more details, check out our public docs here.

⏰ Timeline​

This feature would be available for the dashboards and datasets for both versions 3.0 & 4.0 by the middle of November 2025.

We're excited to announce a major upgrade to operational governance! Soon, Admins will have direct access and full control over any user's personal workspace content, completely removing the need for mandatory impersonation.

Key Benefits​

• Eliminate impersonation friction: No more slow, inconvenient switching to manage or modify content across multiple users’ personal workspaces (especially for dependency cleanup).
• Full Admin coverage: Admins will be able to manage or clean up content within other Admin accounts. This resolves the current limitation where Admins cannot impersonate one another.

Documentation​

To be updated.

Timeline​

We expect to release this feature in November 2025.

We are thrilled to announce that you will soon be able to save Canvas Dashboards directly to your personal workspace!

What's new​

• Before: Personal workspaces only support Quick Dashboards. To create as-code Canvas Dashboards privately, you need to wait for admins to set up private folders in the Public workspace.
• After: You will have access to both Quick Dashboards and Canvas Dashboards in your Personal workspace, providing a complete and flexible dashboard creation experience.

Key Benefits​

• Instant creation & Full user autonomy: Stop waiting for administrative setup. You’ll have full user autonomy to instantly create and save your private Canvas Dashboards.
• Git Control: All Canvas Dashboards created in your Personal workspace will be automatically trackable, versionable, and manageable through Git, giving you complete version control.

Documentation​

To be updated.

Timeline​

This feature will be available by the end of November 2025.

We’re excited to share that you can now undo and redo your filter actions while exploring dashboards.

✨ What's new​

• Undo/Redo for filters: Previously, only drill-downs and break-downs were reversible. Now, every step of your analysis — from filtering to drilling down — can be undone or redone, giving you more freedom to explore without worry.
• History view: Right-click on Undo or Redo to see your complete exploration history at a glance.

We've improved the relationship list view to make it much easier to understand your data model connections at a glance.

When reviewing relationships—especially in complex data models—it can be challenging to quickly distinguish between model names and field names. We've added visual indicators to help you parse this information more efficiently.

✨ What's New​

• Field type icons — Each field now displays an icon indicating its data type, making it easier to understand the relationship at a glance
• Visual separation — Model names and field names are now clearly differentiated with color coding, where model names appear in a lighter gray while field names stand out in bold
• Better scannability — The improved layout helps you quickly navigate through long lists of relationships without getting lost in the text

🎯 Benefits​

This enhancement is particularly helpful when you're working with unfamiliar data models or need to quickly verify relationship configurations across multiple tables. The visual cues reduce cognitive load and help you spot patterns or issues more quickly.

📸 Before and After​

Before:

After:

When a user clicks "drill down" or "break down," the default dimension list displays all available dimensions from the dataset. Holistics allows you to customize this dimension list to enhance your users' experience.

For example, you can highlight the most relevant dimensions and organize them into groups such as Locations, Products, and User Demographics as shown in the video below.

See details of how to customize it here: Drill down & Break down | Customize the dimension list

When viewing underlying data, the default table shown may not always be relevant to users' needs. Now, you can ​​customize different views of the underlying data​ to enhance your users' experience.

In this example, when examining the underlying data for the Revenue metric, users can select from different views, such as Orders, Users, or Products.

We’re thrilled to introduce our upcoming feature - Default dashboard template! 🎉 🎉

This feature is designed specifically for admins who need to enforce brand standards and best practices across their entire organization.

What’s New​

• Before: New dashboards automatically inherited the base Holistics look, meaning users had to manually spend time aligning new dashboards with your structural and brand requirements.
• Now: Admins can define one master template that is automatically applied to every new dashboard created. This guarantees organizational consistency from the moment a user starts building their dashboard.

For full details, check our public doc here.

Timeline​

You can expect the first release to be available by Early November 2025.

We hope this feature gives you the governance and speed you need to scale dashboard creation confidently. We can’t wait to hear what you think! 😊

Keeping your workspace clean is important, but determining which content is actually unused is the challenging part. We are excited to introduce Archive Recommendations, a smart feature that automatically identifies inactive content so that you can archive with confidence.

⭐ What's new?​

Archive Recommendations analyzes your workspace and surfaces content that shows signs of being ready for archiving:

• Dashboard: No views in the last 30 days
• Dataset: No direct views or no connected dashboard views in the last 30 days.

For more information, check out our public docs: Archive Recommendations

⌛ Timeline​

• released Archive recommendations for dashboards
• upcoming Archive recommendations for datasets (Est. Mid Oct)

Hi everyone,

Great news, the Merge Request workflow for GitLab has officially been released.

This is a new feature that brings our PR Workflow goodness to GitLab MRs so you can review, approve, and ship analytics changes using the process your team already knows.

What you will get:

• ⚡ One-click MR creation from Holistics, with AI to draft the MR title and description.
• 🔈 Live MR status inside Holistics — no more tab-hopping to GitLab.
• 🔀 Auto-publish on merge: when an MR is approved and merged into your master branch, the changes publish themselves.
• 👀 Better visibility and control over changes, helping keep data reliable and audits painless.

If your team runs on GitLab, this will make reviews smoother, governance tighter, and shipping safer — without changing how you work.

For more details, please refer to our doc Set up Merge Request Workflow (for GitLab)
