2026 June - UX roundup

Hi community! :confetti_ball: This month we’ve been tidying up details across the product — fixes and improvements that make everyday interactions feel a little smoother and more consistent.

Reporting

  • HEX color input now visible in Chart Color Palette editor: Previously the HEX field was hidden. Now you can edit colors directly from the table.

  • Sticky panel for long color palette lists: The color table — including colors, HEX codes, and labels — is now always visible as you scroll through long palette lists.

  • Chart data panel no longer covers the chart: When you expand the Chart Data panel, the chart now always stays visible.

  • Color palette popover width fixed: The popover now matches its trigger width properly.

  • [Coming soon] Search for color palettes: A search bar is coming to the Chart Color panel so you can find palettes quickly by name.

  • New shortcut: open dashboard in Development from Reporting: You can now right-click a dashboard in the navigation tree to jump straight to its Development view — no need to open it in Reporting first.

  • [Coming soon] Refresh button for color palette: A sync button will let you pull in the latest palette changes without refreshing the whole page.

  • [Coming soon] Better visibility for cancel button when using cross-filter: The cancel button currently looks disabled and has very low contrast on dark backgrounds. We’re improving contrast so it’s clearly visible and actionable.

  • [Coming soon] Data Schedules modal flickering fix: The config modal will no longer flicker while a schedule is running.

Development

  • Distinct icon for Code Search: Code Search now has a dedicated file-search icon, making it easier to tell apart from Project Explorer search.
  • Looker Migration Assistant copy & layout fixes: Corrected copy and layout issues in the Looker migration flow and project settings.
  • Copy button in Metric definitions: A dedicated copy button is now available for faster copying of metric logic.

Integration

  • Redesigned “Connected to Slack” success page: Cleaner, more polished integration experience after connecting Slack.

General UX & UI enhancements

  • Active state for dashboard menu buttons: Buttons in the dashboard menu now show a proper active/selected state.
  • Smaller spinner in dataset file view: Reduced spinner size in the Models panel for a cleaner look.
  • Updated SVG icons with new names: Icon assets refreshed and renamed for consistency.
  • [Coming soon] Consistent toast/alert placement: Notifications will now always appear at the top center for a consistent experience.
  • [Coming soon] Billing usage table fix: Resolving a broken layout in the usage details table.

That’s a wrap for this cycle. Thanks for the feedback — it keeps the polish coming. See you in the next roundup! :rocket:
