# What's new in Sigma

> Sigma release notes for Apr 25, 2025: Updated team creation behavior, copy and paste actions and sequences, and more.

## Admin

### Updated team creation behavior

Admins who create teams are no longer automatically added as members of that team. Teams now start empty, allowing the admin to choose whether or not to include themselves as a member.

## Data apps

### Copy and paste actions and sequences

Copy and paste individual actions or entire sequences to easily reuse action configurations across your organization. You can paste a copied action or sequence to the same element, a different element in the same workbook, or an element in a different workbook.

In the action or sequence menu, click **Copy action** or **Copy sequence**, then use the **Paste action within** (a sequence), **Paste action below** (another action), or **Paste sequence** option to paste the configuration to a specific location.

### Prevent whitespace from triggering actions

By default, actions configured on charts can be triggered when a user clicks on whitespace within the element. You can disable this to prevent unwanted initiation of actions.

In the **Actions** panel, click **More** and select **Allow whitespace to trigger actions**. If there is no checkmark displayed on the setting, whitespace is disabled as a trigger.

## Workbook elements

### Change to underlying data grouping for cartesian charts

Previously, underlying data was grouped for cartesian charts (bar, line, area, scatter, combo, box, and waterfall charts) regardless of whether the chart values were aggregated. With this update, when viewing underlying data, the grouping will match the chart aggregation. For example, if **Aggregate values** is unchecked, the underlying data is not grouped.

See [View underlying data](https://help.sigmacomputing.com/docs/view-underlying-data).

## Workbook features

### Dependent materialization schedules (Beta)

Set up dependent materialization schedules in workbooks and data models. If you materialize both parent and child elements in a workbook or data model, you can set up materialization schedules that include child elements to run after the parent materialization schedule completes.

For more details, see [Schedule materialization for a data model or workbook](https://help.sigmacomputing.com/docs/schedule-materialization-for-a-data-model-or-workbook#set-up-a-dependent-materialization-schedule).

This functionality is not available for dataset materializations.

### Export from Amazon Redshift connections to S3 buckets (Beta)

You can now export data from a Redshift connection to an Amazon S3 bucket. For more details, see [Export to cloud storage (Beta)](https://help.sigmacomputing.com/docs/export-to-cloud-storage).

### Updated user requirements for creating shared views

The ability to share saved views is now limited to users who are assigned account types with the **Create, edit, and publish workbooks** permission enabled. Users who are assigned account types with the **Full explore** permission enabled (without **Create, edit, and publish workbooks**) can create and save custom views but cannot share them.

Existing shared views will remain shared regardless of the account type assigned to the user who created them. For more information about saved views, see [Create and share saved views](https://help.sigmacomputing.com/docs/create-and-share-saved-views).

## Bug fixes

* Dynamic text in text elements now correctly displays  line breaks (newline characters) and whitespace characters (tabs or spaces).
* In OAuth-enabled embedded workbooks, OAuth connections are no longer disabled when external OAuth tokens are passed in an embed URL.
* When an action sequence on a chart has a condition referencing the `Selection` variable, triggering the sequence by clicking whitespace on the chart no longer generates an error.
* When an action sequence is configured with the **On select** trigger type for a column, the sequence is no longer initiated when a user clicks the column header.
