What's new in Sigma
APIs
Members
You can now use the PATCH /v2/members/{memberId} endpoint to reassign documents when you archive a member. In the request body, set isArchived to true and set newOwnerId to the member who will receive the docs from the archived member.
Workbooks
When you create a new workbook using POST /v2/workbooks endpoint, you can assign an owner by passing ownerId in the request body. If you don’t include this, the owner is the user whose token was used to call the API.
A new query parameter Tag {tag name} is now available for the GET /v2/workbooks/{workbookId}/pages endpoint.
Connections
The /v2/connections endpoint now returns the following Connection metadata fields:
Embeds
Convert embed users
Admins can now convert Embed users to Standard, or vice versa. If you convert an Embed user to Standard, you must define their Account Type.
Embed Parameters
The following optional user-backed embed parameters are now available:
- show_workbook_name: A boolean value that displays the workbook name near the folder icon.
- menu_position: Allows you to change the position of the toolbar to
top,bottom, ornone.
Templates
Share Templates with different orgs
You can share Sigma templates with other organizations. This functionality is useful for customers who control multiple Sigma orgs and to create new Sigma orgs for their customers, allowing you to share templates with your customers.
When you share a template, no actual data is shared with the recipient organization.
For more information, see Share templates with different orgs.
Templates tab
The Templates tab is now split between Internal and External.
Workbook elements
Table cell images (Beta)
Tables can now display images in cells. When a column contains image URLs, you can render the images by selecting Transform > Set image in the column menu.
Chart color scales
When you apply color scales to charts (in the Element properties > Marks > Color tab), the color menu now displays all options in various sequential and diverging color scale categories. The menu also offers new color scales, including color-blind accessible options.
Double-click chart legend values
Chart legends now support double-click actions. Prior to this update, Sigma interpreted a rapid double-click as two separate inputs that would select the value on the first click and deselect it on the second. Sigma now interprets a rapid double-click as a single input.
Centered reference mark labels
Chart reference marks now support center-positioned labels. In the Element format > Reference marks section, click the Position field and select Top center or Bottom center to display the label above or below the line.
Workbook features
Warehouse Views
Workbook warehouse views are now generally available (beta version launched April 2023). For more information, see Create and manage workbook warehouse views and Review warehouse view details.

- Keyboard navigation in table and input table elements is no longer disabled after the Hide column keyboard shortcut (shift+H) is applied.
- Linked input tables no longer create duplicate records when one or more users edit the same row in multiple browser tabs.
