The following admin feature permissions are now available for the Build account type and can be granted to custom account types:

The Branding settings permission is now the Manage email branding permission and now only controls access to the Customize your email settings for your organization. Branding settings for workbook themes and custom fonts are restricted under the Manage all workbook themes and fonts permission.

Data apps

Input table support on BigQuery connections (GA)

Input tables are now compatible with BigQuery connections. The dynamic workbook elements support structured data entry, allowing you to integrate new data points into your analysis and augment existing data from your data platform.

For more information about input tables and how to use them, see the following documentation:

• Intro to input tables
• Create new input tables
• Edit existing input table columns

Data modeling

Python element in data models (Beta)

If your organization is connected to Databricks, you can add Python elements to data models to write and run Python code. For more information, see Write and run Python code in Sigma.

Embeds

Ability to disable the Explore button on the embed toolbar.

You can now use the hide_explore_toggle URL parameter to hide the Explore toggle from the embed menu for JWT embeds.

See Embed URL parameters.

Functions and calculations

NullIf function

You can use the NullIf function to return Null if the first argument is equal to the second. Otherwise, it returns the first argument. See NullIf .

SparklineAgg (Beta) support for Azure SQL Database and SQL Server

The SparklineAgg function is now supported for Azure SQL Database and SQL Server.

See SparklineAgg.

Deprecated features

Unpaginated responses from list endpoints (Deprecated)

Returning unpaginated responses from list endpoints is now deprecated. When this functionality reaches end of support, the following list endpoints that currently do not return a paginated response will only return a paginated response:

• List members (GET /v2/members)
• List teams (GET /v2/teams)
• List workspaces (GET /v2/workspaces)
• List materialization schedules for a workbook (GET /v2/workbooks/{workbookId}/materialization-schedules)
• List scheduled exports for a workbook (GET /v2/workbooks/{workbookId}/schedules)

If you use these endpoints, update your API requests to include the limit query parameter to return a paginated response. After the end of support, requests without the limit parameter will return a paginated response of the default page size (50). If you are already using the paginated response from list endpoints, no action is needed.
