## Multi-select controls and tile-specific controls

*Jamie Davidson · `Dashboards`*

A pair of huge new features for streamlining the dashboard experience:- Multi-select controls that allow for building a table from an array of columns that can be dynamically chosen (think pick N of the selected columns through a filter)

* Tile-specific controls that lift the column picking interaction from the top of the dashboard on to one specific tile in-line (still needs design, but huge interactivity win).

## Topic-less AI

*Gustav Staprans · `Ai` `Workbook`*

We're making Blobby smarter - now rather than forcing selection Blobby can find the best topic to answer your question. Makes querying that much easier for end users.

## More dimension colors (with `else`)

*Rob Miller · `Visualization` `Modeling`*

A new else field for coloring dimensions, giving more flexibility for color settings over highly fragmented dimensions. Also a bit of discussion of all the ways to format colors (RGB, Hex, CSS, etc)

Couldn't tell you what a Dutch number format is, but now we have them!

## New Vega config abstraction

*Nate Agrin · `Visualization`*

Some behind-the-scenes work to allow better composability as we create Vega specs for our visualizations. Outcome would be better feature development velocity for vis.

## Embed event messaging docs

*Nate Agrin · `Embed`*

Bit more meat on our docs for the embed messaging framework. This opens up lots of UX extensibility for embedded developers for on-load events, on-click events, or a variety of other end user actions.

## Region controls for Omni support

*Chris Merrick · `Administration`*

New admin toggles to only allow support coverage from different regions (North America or Europe or anywhere).  May be appropriate for different data protection postures.
