# What's new in Sigma

> Sigma release notes for Jan 31, 2025: EN-AU now supported as an account locale, embed SDK for React, and more.

## Admin

### EN-AU now supported as an account locale

You can now set Australian English as your organization's locale. Setting EN-AU as your organization's locale will allow EN-AU number formatting, currency, and custom translations to be used as a default across the organization.

See [Manage organization locale](https://help.sigmacomputing.com/docs/manage-organization-locale).

## Embeds

### Embed SDK for React (GA)

The Embed SDK for React offers a developer-friendly interface that simplifies integration into applications. Developers can access detailed installation and usage guides on [Github](https://github.com/sigmacomputing/embed-sdk).

See [Embed SDK for React](https://help.sigmacomputing.com/docs/embed-sdk-for-react) or follow this [QuickStart](https://quickstarts.sigmacomputing.com/guide/embedding_15_embed_sdk/index.html?index=..%2F..index#0) for an in-depth guide to using the SDK.

## Filters and controls

### Specify date values in controls with Unix timestamps

Date range controls and date controls now accept date values as Unix timestamps (milliseconds since epoch) when setting values with URL query string parameters or from an action.

For example, `?date-control-ID=1738260555`.

For more details, see [Set control values in a URL using query string parameters](https://help.sigmacomputing.com/docs/workbook-control-values-in-the-url).

## Performance

### Reduced 2FA code expiry times

Two-factor authentication email codes now expire after 5 minutes, instead of 15 minutes.

### Inputting invalid SAML RelayState now displays error messages

When a SAML RelayState with invalid origin is entered, an error message is now displayed.

## Workbook features

### Layout grid is hidden by default

When editing workbooks and data models, grid lines are visible when moving elements and are otherwise hidden.

To show grid lines by default, you can modify the layout settings for a specific workbook. See **Layout settings** in [Workbook settings overview](https://help.sigmacomputing.com/docs/workbook-settings-overview#layout-settings).

### Updated trigger type UI

In the **Actions** panel, action sequences are no longer added and grouped based on trigger type (**On select**, **On change**, **On click**, etc.). Each sequence indicates the trigger type, and you can select a different option from a dropdown when multiple types are available.

## Bug fixes

* When the embed team name contains an apostrophe, the embed sandbox no longer shows an "invalid embed signature" error and loads the embed successfully.
* When you switch between Secure and JWT mode in the embed sandbox, Sigma now clears the URL field so that you can load the new embed without any error messages.
* When hidden column values are passed to controls through workbook actions, those columns are now correctly excluded from Excel files.
