# What's new in Sigma

> Sigma release notes for Mar 1, 2024: Updated account type permissions for explore access, new templates, and more.

## Admin

### Updated account type permissions for explore access

Account types now support two permissions that enable users to be granted **Can explore** workbook permission. These account type permissions determine how users interact with workbooks in specific modes.

* **Basic explore** enables users to access **View** mode with additional capabilities when granted **Can explore** workbook permission.

* **Full explore** (formerly named **Explore workbooks**) enables **Basic explore** capabilities in **View** mode as well as the full scope of user interactions in **Explore** mode.

For a detailed comparison of user interactions supported by each permission, see [Basic explore vs. Full explore](https://help.sigmacomputing.com/docs/basic-explore-vs-full-explore).

## Templates

### New templates

The following templates are now available in the **Templates** > **External** tab:

* **Google Analytics 4:** Offers visibility into GA4 events data not provided by the Google Analytics platform.

* **Plugs Electronics Profit Planning Tool**: Leverages Sigma's latest design features for an improved look and feel.

* **Loan Analysis**: Analyzes loan portfolio performance using publicly available loan data from Lending Club.

## Workbook elements

### Display or hide legends in maps

Map elements now support the ability to display or hide legends. In the **Element properties** > **Legend** section, select the **Show legend** checkbox to display the legend or clear the checkbox to hide it.
