What's new in Sigma

AI

Create AI columns (Beta)

You can now create AI columns to enrich your data using natural language prompts. AI columns allow you to construct dynamic prompts that reference specific table columns, and can be helpful for tasks like enriching, summarizing, and classifying data.

See Create AI columns (Beta) for more information.

AI apps

Disable/enable action sequences

Disable a sequence to prevent it from running, then enable it to run again. The disabled state persists across workbook refreshes and user sessions until you manually re-enable the sequence.

For more information, see Disable and enable sequences.

Pause/resume action sequences (Deprecated)

The pause/resume option for action sequences has been deprecated and replaced by disable/enable controls. Because the pause state was session-based and not saved, no migration is needed. New and existing sequences automatically reflect the updated controls. See Disable/enable action sequences.

Admin

Assistant usage dashboard (Deprecated)

The Assistant (Ask Sigma) usage dashboard is now deprecated and will be unavailable after September 15, 2026. Instead, configure the AI usage dashboard. See Configure the AI usage dashboard.

Configure mutual transport layer security (mTLS) for API connectors in Sigma

You can add client and server certificates to Sigma, allowing you to configure mutual transport layer security (mTLS) for API connectors. For more information, see Configure mutual transport layer security (mTLS) for API connectors in Sigma.

Manually specify an OAuth provider when configuring organization-level OAuth

You can now manually specify an OAuth provider when configuring OAuth as the single-sign-on (SSO) method for authenticating to Sigma. This enables the use of custom domain names.

Workbook features

Custom page sidebar (GA)

You can enable custom page sidebars to appear on one or more workbook pages. Page sidebars allow you to repeat contents like filters or navigation options across multiple pages in a single configuration.

For more information, see Add custom page panels to a workbook.

Hierarchy columns (GA)

Hierarchy columns are now generally available.

See Work with hierarchies and the RaggedHierarchy function reference for more information.

Using #raw in SQL statements (Deprecated)

The #raw directive in custom SQL is deprecated. On December 1, 2026, Sigma will no longer support the #raw directive. Update any custom SQL that uses #raw to use the #identifier directive before that date to avoid query errors.

For more information, see Replace the #raw directive in custom SQL.

Cc/Bcc allowlist when run queries as recipient is enabled

For security reasons, if Run queries as recipient is enabled, either as an organization requirement or for specific exports, admins must add recipients to an allowlist in export settings before they can be listed as Cc/Bcc recipients. Organizations with affected scheduled exports will be notified separately.

See Manage export frequency and authentication settings for more information.

Bug fixes and improvements

Collapsed and expanded row/column groupings now export as they appear in the workbook. Previously, all row/column exported fully expanded.
Tagging a workbook version that contained custom SQL failed with an error "Cannot read properties of null (reading 'connectionId')".
