# What's new in Sigma

> Sigma release notes for Aug 25, 2023: Folder creation permissions, user-backed embed parameters, and more.

## Admin

### Folder creation permissions

**Create new folders** permission is now available in **Account Types**. This permission provides the option to restrict or grant folder creation permissions. To configure this in the **Administration** portal, go to **Account Types** > **Create New Account Type**.

For more information, see [User account types](https://help.sigmacomputing.com/docs/user-account-types).

## Embeds

### User-backed embed parameters

We added the following optional parameters for user-backed embeds.

|                 |                                                                                          |
| :-------------- | :--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `hide_menu`     | If set to `True`, hides the menu in the bottom-left for saved workbooks.                 |
| `hide_send`     | If set to `True`, hides the **Send now** option in the menu for saved workbooks.         |
| `hide_schedule` | If set to `True`, hides the **Schedule exports** option in the menu for saved workbooks. |

For more information, see [User-backed embedding](https://help.sigmacomputing.com/docs/user-backed-embedding).

## Workbook elements

### KPI chart replaces Single Value visualization

Sigma's **KPI** visualization element has replaced the **Single Value** visualization (SVV) option. While you can no longer create new SVV elements, you can instead [build KPI charts](https://help.sigmacomputing.com/docs/build-a-kpi-chart) for improved single metric analyses. To preserve your saved workbooks and explorations, Sigma will not automatically upgrade existing SVV elements to KPI charts.

For more information about the SVV deprecation and benefits of KPI charts, see the [Sigma Community post](https://community.sigmacomputing.com/t/kpi-chart-to-replace-single-value-visualization-chart/2533).

## Bug fixes

* The Lineage Chart now displays the correct information after a data swap in version tagging.
