# Upcoming: Dashboard 4.0 with As-code and more

🎉 Great news!

Dashboard 4.0 with As-code is finally in development. Here is what it currently looks like:

## Introducing Dashboard 4.0 with As-code ready

To give analysts full control over the content and design of dashboards, we are bringing new updates that transform your dashboard experience:

- **Canvas layout** creates endless possibilites for customization:
  - Able to modify dashboard layout and background
  - Able to embed filters inside dashboards and put visualizations on top of each other
  - Able to adjust/control the dashboard size, scaling, and ensure size/aspect ratio when exporting.

- **Separating Edit and View mode** so you don’t need to worry whether unpublished changes can affect the dashboard viewers
- **Software engineering best practices** let you define a dashboard either using As-code syntax or Visual Editor and the ability to do version control _(Coming soon)_

With Dashboard as-code, we’re _ **bringing software engineering best practices to the dashboard level** _.

## Release Plan

This is just the beginning, but we’re eager to invite you along our development journey. Here’s a glimpse into our planned roadmap for Dashboard 4.0:

- **Phase 1:** Dashboard 4.0 - As-code ready with full dashboard 3.0 functionalities
- **Phase 2:** Dashboard 4.0 - Version Control with Git; Development Mode
- **Phase 3:** New layouts, components, and more

Dashboard 4.0 with As-code is in active development and will be released to our beta users in a couple of months.
