Building a dashboard should feel quick. We refreshed the dashboard editor so you spend less time looking for tools and more time building.

**What’s new**

- **Cleaner floating toolbar.** One consistent icon style, plus labels under each icon in the horizontal toolbar, so you can tell what each button does at a glance. Filter, period comparison, and date drill now live under one “Filter & controls” button.
- **Keyboard shortcuts for adding blocks.** Hover any button to see its shortcut, or just press the key:
  - `V` visualization
  - `T` text
  - `F` filter, `P` period comparison, `D` date drill
  - `A` AI block
  - `L` block library (the search box is ready, so start typing right away)

- **Smoother zoom.** Mouse-wheel zoom is faster and smoother. The canvas now leaves room below your dashboard, so the toolbar doesn’t cover your content. Scrolling inside a modal also no longer zooms the canvas behind it.

**Coming next**

- The toolbar gets out of your way while you drag blocks near it.
- Canvas settings move next to the zoom controls.
- A cleaner dashboard header and tabs.
