API

Pagination required for List endpoints (breaking change)

List endpoints that did not already require pagination will start requiring pagination on September 4, 2024.

If you use these endpoints, update your API requests to include the limit query parameter to return a paginated response. After the change, requests without the limit parameter return a paginated response of the default page size (50).

New file type for List files and List member files endpoints

The typeFilter query parameter for the List files and List member files endpoints now includes a symlink option that you can use to filter shortcuts in your request. Shortcuts are also included in the response of requests that do not include a typeFilter.

New option for Update an inode endpoint

The Update an inode endpoint (PATCH /v2/files/{inodeId}) now includes the restore option. Include the restore option in your request to restore previously deleted files.

Search and discovery

Add shortcuts to documents (Beta)

If you want to save links to documents in more than one location, you can add a shortcut. Use shortcuts to make specific data sources easier to find in the source picker, or to organize documents to make key workbooks and data models easier to access.

See Add shortcuts to documents for more details.

Workbook features

Custom workbook page width

Set a custom page width for a workbook. Specify a pixel width to constrain the elements on workbook pages to a maximum width. See Workbook settings overview.

If you export workbook pages to PDF, use this setting to approximate the layout size of a PDF page. See Format PDF page export layout.
