What's new in Sigma

AI

Ask Sigma supports data model relationships and Snowflake semantic views

When Ask Sigma responds to questions with a data model or Snowflake semantic view, Ask Sigma can join related tables to provide higher-quality answers.

For more details, see Ask natural language queries with Ask Sigma.

Ask follow-up questions in Ask Sigma

Ask Sigma now supports asking follow-up questions about your data. After you ask a question in Ask Sigma, you can continue the conversation, asking Ask Sigma to continue the analysis or change the analysis. To start a new conversation, click Reset.

As part of this change, you can no longer pass a prompt to Ask Sigma using a query string parameter and
share questions in a custom URL.

For more details, see Ask natural language queries with Ask Sigma.

New AI model versions available

If you have an AI provider configured to use a Databricks connection, or to use Gemini as an external AI provider or through a BigQuery connection, the model version used by Ask Sigma and other AI features has been updated:

  • Databricks connections now use databricks-claude-sonnet-4-5
  • BigQuery connections now use Gemini 2.5 Flash
  • Gemini as an external AI provider now uses Gemini 2.5 Flash

For more details, see Configure warehouse AI model integration and Manage external AI integrations.

API

Data models included in the response for the List files and List member files endpoints

The List files (GET /v2/files) and List member files (GET /v2/members/{memberId}/files) endpoint includes data models in the response. Data models are listed with a type of data-model and datasets are listed with a type of dataset.

New options for Lookup a connection and Sync a connection by path endpoints

The Look up connections by path (POST /v2/connection/{connectionId}/lookup) and Sync a connection by path (POST /v2/connections/{connectionId}/sync) endpoints include the option to look up or sync a stored procedure object in your connection.

Unpaginated responses from list endpoints (Deprecated)

This deprecation was previously announced in Sigma's release notes on October 3, 2025. This updated announcement includes an official end of support date.

Returning unpaginated responses from list endpoints is now deprecated. On June 2, 2026, this functionality will reach end of support and the following list endpoints did not return a paginated response will only return a paginated response:

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 date, requests without the limit parameter 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.

Admin

Turkish now supported as a workbook locale

You can now set Turkish (tr-tr) as your workbook locale. Apply the Turkish language, date format, and currency to workbook previews and embedded workbooks.

See Manage workbook localization.

Data modeling

Datasets (Deprecated)

Datasets are now deprecated. On June 2, 2026, datasets will reach end of support and creating new datasets and editing existing datasets will no longer be available. Migrate existing datasets to data models, and update any documents that use datasets as a source to use data models instead.

Migrate a dataset to a data model (Beta)

Create a data model from a dataset and its links by choosing to migrate a dataset. Optionally choose to update documents that reference the dataset automatically.

When you migrate a dataset, the dataset is unchanged and the contents of the dataset are recreated in the data model. You can also track the status of all datasets in your organization.

For more details about how to migrate a dataset and what is and isn't migrated to the new data model, see Migrate a dataset to a data model.

Embeds

Securely embed data models (Beta)

If you securely embed Sigma with a JWT-signed URL, you can embed Sigma data models into your client application. All JWT claims and embed query string parameters are supported for embedding a data model.

The URL structure for embedding a data model is the same as embedding a workbook. Use the following URL structure to embed a data model:

https://app.sigmacomputing.com/<organization-slug>/data-model/<dataModelName>-<dataModelId>

For more details, see Create an embed API with JSON Web Tokens.

Workbook elements

Aggregate totals across higher grouping levels (Beta)

When displaying subtotals in your pivot table, you can now change whether the row subtotals are aggregated and displayed just for the immediate parent pivot rows, or also displayed at higher grouping levels.

See Aggregate totals across higher grouping levels (Beta).

Auto-update page anchor names in the navigation element

When the name of a page anchor is changed, the names of any associated navigation options in a navigation element now automatically update to match the new name.

Change divider stroke styles

You can now change the Stroke style for divider elements to Solid, Dashed, or Dotted.

See Divider in Intro to UI elements.

Customize text fonts and sizes

You can now use custom fonts and sizes for text elements, in addition to using preset text styles, by using Break style and Restore style.

See Text elements for more information.

Navigation element GA

You can use the navigation element to display a list of destinations users can visit. The navigation element shows each option as an individual button, which you can configure to send users to a workbook page, workbook element, or external link when clicked. Submenus allow you to nest additional navigation options under a top-level option. See Use the navigation element to guide user exploration.

Select all search results in list and hierarchy filters and controls

When using search in a list or hierarchy filters and controls, you can now select all values from the search results.

Workbook features

Conditional background colors for containers

You can configure formatting rules that conditionally change the background color of a container. For more information, see Style a container.

Create and filter hierarchies (Beta)

Use hierarchies to group columns categorically and define the order of data granularity. When you create a hierarchy, you can:

  • Define the order of the hierarchical data.
  • Easily visualize all parts of the hierarchy together in a pivot table or grouped table.
  • Format all levels of the hierarchy consistently, such as when applying conditional formatting.

If your hierarchical data is ragged, Sigma visualizes the ragged hierarchy, letting you view your hierarchy in a dense layout instead of empty rows like a non-ragged hierarchical view. For more details about creating a hierarchy column, see Work with hierarchies and the function reference for the RaggedHierarchy function.

After you create a hierarchy, you can filter different levels of the hierarchy using a filter on the data element or with a hierarchy control element. For more details, see Hierarchy control .

Customize page headers GA

You can enable custom page headers to appear on one or more workbook pages. Page headers allow you to repeat contents like titles, filters, or navigation options across multiple pages in a single configuration. Scroll options allow you to create a sticky header that moves with the user as they scroll. See Add custom page headers to a workbook.

Image backgrounds for containers

You can configure background images for containers from an upload, as well as static and dynamic image URLs. For more information, see Style a container.

Legacy workbook layout (Deprecated)

The classic or legacy workbook layout is deprecated. On March 3, 2026, editing of workbooks with legacy (non-grid) layouts will be disabled. On June 2, 2026, this functionality will reach end of support and workbooks will be automatically upgraded when the workbook is opened. You must upgrade workbooks to grid layout.

Worksheets and dashboards (Deprecated)

Worksheets and dashboards are now deprecated (dataset worksheets continue to be supported). On March 3, 2026, editing of worksheets and dashboards will be disabled. On June 2, 2026 this functionality will reach end of support and existing worksheets and dashboards will no longer be available. To ensure continued access to your content, convert worksheets and dashboards to workbooks .

Bug fixes

  • For a data element sourced from a grouped table with one or more grouping levels collapsed, source columns were unavailable to select instead of being available.

  • When a data model was embedded, users only had the option to rename a data model from the list of documents instead of from the document menu for the data model.

  • When a page was duplicated that contained a data element with a data model metric and the element source was located on the same page, the metric displayed an "Invalid Query" error instead of data calculated by the metric.

  • When sharing workbooks across organizations, users received an "Object Does Not Exist No matching record" error when attempting to replace the source of the shared workbook with a dataset.
