(If you're on the Starter plan and would like to see Insights in action, just reach out to us.)

- Selecting date ranges in a date filter is easier with our improved date picker.
- Reordering columns and measures within a chart was broken, but it's fixed now.
- Share a Juicebox Report link with a Password: We've added a "middle of the road" option for Report Sharing. In addition to Public sharing ("Anyone with the link") and Private sharing ("sign-in required") Juicebox now has the ability to share a Link with a Password. This provides some control over who can view your report without requiring that they have a Juicebox account to see what you shared (but it's still private.)
- How many page views do you have left for this billing period? Now you can keep track by clicking the Share button for any report.
- Quickly navigate from one report to another using the Home button dropdown in the header of any report.
- Duplicate and delete reports directly from the Home page.
- Sharing options have been redesigned for more clarity. There are three sharing options:
- π’ Sharing as "Public" is now "Anyone with the link," and just like the name says (now π) this sharing mode allows anyone with the link to view the report.
- π Sharing as "Private" is now "Sign in required." This mode requires people to sign in to Juicebox before they can see the report. There are two sub-sharing-options for this mode:
- "Send an email" will send a single-use invite link to the recipient you specify.
- "Share a multi-use invite" creates an invite link that can be used any number of times, but still requires the viewers to sign in to see the report. Pro tip: you can have your recipients forward this invitation so others can join... after signing in, of course.
- Juicebox "apps" are now called "reports"
- Improvements to data uploading
- Date range selections in Filter slices are now done with a calendar picker
- As you make changes to charts, text, and colors, your app will update automatically! π
- In the filter slice, you can now filter on a range of values in a number column.
- Custom color themes are now easier to update.
- π£ Introducing our newest chart type β Pie charts! π₯§
Confession time: Over the years, we've sidestepped the Great Pie Chart Controversy (Really? Yes. Oh yes.) by not offering a pie chart. But not anymore! Our pie chart is beautiful, simple to make, and automatically avoids those perilous pie-chart pitfalls. It's the right chart for showing parts of a whole, and we think you'll love it. Give it a try!
- Would you like to embed a Juicebox app in your own website? Just paste in the public app embed code.
- Trend charts are working again for measures with solely negative values.
- You can now export an app as either a PDF or PNG file. Just look for the Download button in the app header or header bar.
- You can create a Count measure using a boolean column. That used to be False, but now it's True.
- Dynamic text that references selections in the filter slice is working.
- Four new font themes give you more options for setting the tone of your app.
- Four new color themes add both dark and light palettes.
- Selections made for one filter pill in the Filter slice now filter across all other filter pills, so you don't have to worry about the order of columns. Filtering performance has improved too.
- Did you know you can duplicate an app? The Duplicate App button is now at the top of the editing panel to make that more findable.
- Higher numbers are often better (π), but not always (β³οΈ). A new advanced measure option lets you tell Juicebox when a lower measure value is better, so that the Leaderboard chart shows who's really on top.
Ok, y'all. This is a big one. Like, the biggest update we've ever done. In this release, we're finishing our journey to remove the editing tabs in the editing panel on the left of the workspace. Some really important things are moving around ("where's my data??" and "so... how do I share now?" might be questions you'll ask). So, take a moment to review the highlights:
- The Data Drawer replaces the Data tab
- We've moved the Data tab to a drawer at the bottom of the window so you can easily see your data while you work. This gives you a clearer view of all your data and lets you switch between them more easily.
- You can update your data using the easier-to-find Replace file button
- A nice bonus: Now you can Download data tables making collaborating with other Editors easier than ever
- The Sharing button replaces the Share tab
- We've moved the Sharing tab to a button in the upper right of the window that is always present, regardless of what you're doing in the editor. Now, you can quickly save and share your work with the click of a button.
- Leaderboard charts now have a bold new look. Really bold.
- Leaderboard, Trend, and Map charts now use colors that are based on the color theme.
- A newly designed Resource Center (in the bottom right of the window) and videos help you get the most out of Juicebox.
- Column and measure pills have a new, cleaner look and are easier to remove from charts.
- For apps with multiple data tables, a new chart configuration option lets you choose which data table to use in the chart.
- Add images to the background of your header and sections. Take your data story style to the next level by adding background images to headers and sections. You can add your own images or find images on Unsplash.
- Streamlined data prep. We've added lots of smarts to our data loading process so you can spend less time on data prep, more time telling your data story.
- New editing panel improvements help you get to the right place.
- Charts no longer allow configuration if data has not been loaded.
- Easier color makeovers. Quickly see how your app looks in a whole new wardrobe. Themed color palettes make it easy to change the look of your app in one click.
- Easier to use data. Now you can use all of your data columns as either dimensions or measures in charts. And you can decide how you want to calculate measures as you're adding charts to your story.
- A simpler way to create locations while making a map.
- Selections in table charts now filter properly (i.e., based on all columns, not just the first one).
- Improved performance for paginated charts.
- Deleting or duplicating apps, sections, and slices is easier with new and buttons.
- Broken ingredients are (mostly) a thing of the past.
- Improvements to data loading workflow.
- Templates added to the +Create New app workflow. We've incorporated templates of some of our best Juice-approved app designs into the workflow where you create a new app. These templates include full apps, and singular (but sweetly styled) charts that you can pick from. You can also add complete example apps to your workspace to use as inspiration and reference. Now, that data report idea you have can get the Juice-approved kick start you've been looking for.
- The map can display locations even if no measures have been selected.
- Option to skip app setup details. If you want to accept the defaults and open your new app quickly, you can select Skip Setup in the app creation wizard.
- Loading data from Excel files has been improved.
- Other reliability and operational improvements.
- Choosers have a new look. Chooser buttons are now sized based on their content and have a more eye-catching appearance.
- Support for private editing notes. Now you can leave notes in apps for yourself and other editors that won't be seen by your users.
- Public app links shared on Facebook and Slack look better.
- Dynamic text can now be copied using the slice "@" button and pasted into the text of a downstream slice.
- Added Excel files (.xls and .xlsx) to data upload options (for now this defaults to loading only the first Excel tab).
- Other improvements to the Design tab to make adding and configuring slices easier.
- More ways to style text. And now, with even more style! You can add numbered lists, bulleted lists, and block quotes. The text in your editor panel now looks more like it actually does in your app.
- Less ingredient clutter. A big, unorganized pile of ingredients makes it hard to cookβand hard to build your Juicebox app. The new tidy and separate columns for measures and dimensions mean there's less clutter with your ingredients. Bon appΓ©tit! π±
- Adding charts is quicker and easier.
- Improved trend legends.
- Backend synchronization has been improved.
- β¨New text editorβ¨ With our new text editor, you can add and style text, emojis π₯, and links with ease. Huzzah! (But if you still want to get down with Markdown, you can do that too.)
- Multi-line trend. Now you can show up to 5 measures in a single trend chart. Compare to a target or a moving average (or both!) and bring context and clarity to changes over time. And if you want dual vertical axes, you can do that too.
- Custom subdomains. Is your cute-and-fruity workspace subdomain a little too cute for your needs? Now you can customize your subdomain in the new Settings page. (Requires a Team plan subscription.)
- Team plan goodies. Sign up for the Team plan and get access to more users, bigger uploads, a custom subdomain, and more.
- Simplified sharing.
- The list of charts you can add to a slice was being cut off. That's fixed now.
- Even more improvements to data loading.
- Header styles. We've added three pre-formatted options for your app's header: small, medium, and large. Feeling bold? You can turn those off and do your own thing. Vive la diffΓ©rence!
- The Help menu now has links to Documentation, Help articles, and other resources.
- "Automagically" adding ingredients now adds a time ingredient for year columns.
- Improved data loading now catches even more issues (so you don't have to).
- Easy-to-add images. Juicebox's new image upload capability lets you easily add images to your Juicebox app -- no more cryptic code. And, you can make an even bigger splash with the Unsplash integration. Now, go image like a pro πΈ.
- Add a chart even if you don't have data. No data? No problem! Now when you click "Add a Chart" and select a chart type, you'll see an example of that chart in your app. Even if you don't yet have all the data that chart requires, it will still display and be interactive. So, now you can build your data story and then go find the data that tells your story. That's one more blocker to frictionless storytelling eliminated! π₯
- An improved Designer tab in the editing panel.
- Smarter data loading, particularly for European file formats.
- More performance and bug fixes.
- A redesigned Apps page. The apps page is that special place you keep all your creations. So we decided to give it some love and add features that itβs been deserving:
- Sort your apps β Sort the apps in your workspace based on date edited, date published, and (of course) alphabetically.
- Search your apps β Find that app you created by searching for text in the title and description.
- Know your apps β Finally, more information about app publish status is on the apps page.

- βοΈAdding ingredients "automagically" is easier and quicker
- β¨οΈ Improved keyboard navigation.
- More performance and bug fixes.
- Easier sign in. If you've ever created a workspace only to realize you don't quite remember how to get back to that space, you know how low that can make you feel. But, those day of scrounging around for the right URL are gone! Now, you can just point your browser to myjuicebox.io and sign in there -- you'll be ushered right to your space, just like the celeb you are. (Oh yeah, and if you have multiple workspaces, you'll be able to pick the one you want -- all from myjuicebox.io.)
- Sample data. We've brought some interesting sample data sets to Juicebox so you can start making presentations without hunting for a clean CSV.
- π Layout, formatting and tooltip improvements. Great data presentations are more than a pretty face, but prettier doesn't hurt.
- π+πThe trend chart now properly displays negative numbers.

- Better control of who can see what. Owners and Admins have a new People page to see who is using your apps. Friend your friends:smiling_face_with_3_hearts:; change user roles:fist:; control app access:closed_lock_with_key:; unfriend your enemies:unamused:.
- Even more chart layout improvements.
- Faster app and new workspace creation.
- Lots more performance and bug fixes.
- Sign up for a workspace. Now you (and all your friends) can create your own workspace. Why would you want your own workspace? Perhaps you want to do some data presentation work for that non-profit you're helping out with. Or maybe you have an idea for a data reporting side-gig. Whatever data-prez itch you have, now you can create a separate workspace to put it in. Juicebox all-the-things!
- Duplicate an app. If you want to create a new app that is similar to an existing app, you can duplicate it.

This will make them memorable and useful. And don't forget you can collapse and organize your sections to bring more clarity to your data story.
- Support for database connections - Do you want to add a data source from a Redshift or Snowflake database? That's now possible! To get started, send us a message by clicking the chat button below.
- Numerous slice layout improvements - Whether you are mixing text styles or combining slices in horizontal section layouts, everything looks:ok_hand:.

- Various performance and bug fixes. Much perform. Un-bugged.
- An improved trend chart π - We did a brain upgrade on the trend chart. The trend chart is now smarter about handling dates and times. You can easily roll up dates by month or year (see time ingredient improvement below), see which dates are missing data, and select ranges of dates to filter the story below. Hey, Trend Chart: it's time you were schooled π.
- Broken ingredients π£- Change is hard, we know that. When you replace a CSV on a data source, sometimes the new data has different names or different data types. This can break data ingredients. You'll see these broken ingredients highlighted (in a style we call "the blushing zebra") so you can fix them. Now change isn't so hard.
- Roll up time ingredients by month or year: You can easily roll up time ingredient dates by month or year by choosing a month or year format when defining the time ingredient. It's time to roll β°.
- New advanced ingredient functions: There are new options for advanced aggregations. You can calculate percentiles and ages. This improvement is in the top percentile.

- Automagically add your dataπ©- When you add a Data Source to an app, press the "Add Automagically" button to tell Juicebox which data columns you're most interested in.
- Story designer slice card improvements - Added emphasis to the "Save" button, added nice hovering touches, and cleaned some dusty corners.
- No more "null island" β οΈπ - The map chart no longer displays Place dimension values where the latitude or longitude are missing (null) or are exactly 0,0 (the location of what we affectionately call null island in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. We're guessing that's not the location you really wanted π).
- Table slice column headers now resize - The table chart no longer cuts off multi-line column headers. Instead, the column header will resize to fit. Nobody likes being squeezed into something that's too small.
