Explore is getting a glow-up ✨

As part of the Holistics Glow-up initiative, we are beginning a major revamp of the Explore interface to be cleaner and easier to use. Our goal is to make data exploration not just powerful, but cleaner and more intuitive.

This is just the first step, but we wanted to share what’s landing now.

:star: What’s changed

:one: We added checkboxes to the field list. Sounds small, but it helps. You can actually see which fields are active at a glance now. And if you want to remove a field? Just uncheck it.

:two: If you missed it—we recently shipped simplified field descriptions. When you hover over a field, the popover will focus on the business-friendly information instead of technical details. You can always expand to see the technical details when needed.

:three: Coming soon We’re updating the settings panel to match our new design language. Better spacing, cleaner typography, improved contrast — the same stuff we’ve been rolling out across Holistics.

:rocket: This is just the beginning

This update is leading to a much bigger change. We are currently finalizing a brand new Explore Layout

Here’s a sneak peek of where we’re headed:

We’ll share more when it’s ready. If there’s a specific friction point in Explore that’s been frustrating you, reply and let us know. We’re listening.

Quick update on the Explore glow-up - Phase 2 is now live!

We’ve refreshed the visualization settings panel with improved spacing, typography, and better contrast. It’s the same panel you use to configure your charts, but now it’s easier to scan and visually consistent with the rest of the Holistics UI refresh we rolled out last December.

What changed:

  • Cleaner visual hierarchy in the settings panel
  • Improved spacing and typography for easier scanning
  • Better contrast for readability
  • Styling now aligned with the broader Holistics design standards

Soon, you can expect a whole new layout with a redesigned chart picker and collapsible configuration panel.

Let us know what you think!
