New Features

Data Sources: Connect to virtually any data source—remote databases, data warehouses, object storage, APIs, and even local files—using an intuitive, chat-based workflow. Credentials are stored and transmitted securely. Prepare, clean, join, and transform data that powers your apps.

PDF Report Generation: Generate and export PDF reports directly from Studio projects. This tool allows for the export of project data and visualizations into a professional document format with customizable page layouts and content options.

Live Support Integration: A new live support option is available via the global navigation menu.

Project Navigation: Project pages have been reorganized with a new tabbed interface. Users can navigate between Data, Explore, and App views using the top navigation bar, providing a cleaner workspace and a more intuitive organizational structure.

Draft Project Persistence: Partially created projects are now saved and visible within the project list. Users can select these drafts to resume the setup process, which will redirect them to the data chat for completion.

Improvements

Validation Performance: The initial project validation process has been significantly optimized. Processing times for the first validation have been reduced from a previous range of 15-25 seconds to less than 1 second.

Cross-Platform Deployment: Compatibility between different operating systems has been improved to ensure that Plotly Studio applications generated on Windows environments deploy correctly to Plotly Cloud.

More Reliable Project Previews: Backend improvements have simplified how the application manages project previews, resulting in a more reliable experience.
