# What's new in Sigma

> Sigma release notes for Jul 21, 2023: Native JSON support, copy + paste in embeds, and more.

## Admin

### Native JSON support

Sigma provides full native support for the JSON data type in BigQuery connections. This enables you to process and analyze semi-structured data effectively. For details on how to use JSON, see Google documentation on  [Working with JSON data in GoogleSQL](https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/json-data).

## Embeds

### Copy + paste in embeds

Users can now copy and paste elements in an embed.

## Workbook elements

### "Fill range" keyboard shortcut

Use the "fill range" keyboard shortcut to overwrite selected cells with the value in the first (top-left) cell of the range. Select a range and apply the applicable keyboard shortcut based on your operating system:

|             |              |
| :---------- | :----------- |
| **macOS**   | ⌘ + return   |
| **Windows** | ctrl + enter |

## Workbook features

### Bookmarks

Bookmarks (Beta) now provide a notification when changes made (such as changing a filter's value) for the bookmark are no longer relevant in the workbook. In other words, someone changed the base workbook such that the bookmark is now inaccurate. A modal gives the option of updating or deleting the bookmark.

### Downloads

When a user downloads any resource, a status bar now appears at the bottom of the screen. This applies to embeds as well.

## Bug fixes

* We resolved an embed issue where visualizations failed to render in certain scenarios.
