Changelog

Slack Agent

Anyone in your Slack workspace can now send a direct message to the Cube app and get AI-powered answers from the Analytics Chat agent — without leaving Slack. The agent responds in a Slack thread, and follow-up questions in the same thread keep the conversation contextual.

Cube matches Slack users by email address, so no additional account setup is required for your team.

To get started, a workspace admin connects Slack from Settings → Integrations → Slack and selects a deployment and agent to power responses. Learn more.

Other improvements and fixes:

• You can now attach files (not only images) to chat
• Relative time filters are now supported on Dashboards
• Workbook Version History now shows the current draft
• Dashboard builder supports undo / redo via hotkeys
• Workspace now supports bulk actions
• Dashboard filters can now be disabled on the published dashboard
• Result table can optionally be colored with alternating rows
• You can now duplicate a Workbook from the Workspace
• You can copy tabs from one Workbook to another via copy to clipboard

Filters Update

The filtering experience across Explore, Workbooks, and Dashboards has been updated. The point-and-click flow is faster in Explore and Workbooks, and you can now change filter operators in a single click.

Filters now support complex logical groups (OR and AND). You can create and edit these groups directly in the UI. All filters are rendered to Semantic SQL, so they work seamlessly with AI agents — both humans and agents see the same source of truth.

Dashboard filters have also been updated with the ability to change filter operators directly on Dashboards.

New Documentation Website

The documentation website has been updated with improved structure, search, readability, and mobile support. It also includes an AI-powered chat — ask the assistant your documentation questions directly from the docs.

Other improvements and fixes:

• You can now copy Explore and Workbook tabs to the clipboard and paste them into a different workbook
• You can now search folders and explorations in the Workspace
• Added sorting to the Workspace
• MCP responses now include raw data
• Added Claude Sonnet 4.6 support for BYOM
• You can now create filtered measures directly from the pivot UI
• Chats automatically restart after a browser network disconnect

Workbooks Versions

With workbook versions, users can roll back changes to their workbooks and restore the state of the workbook as it was published at a given point. That is useful if you accidentally made changes to the published dashboard and you need to roll back to the published state.

Queue Chat Messages

With this feature, users can send multiple messages to chat that will be queued together and sent automatically, one after the other. Users can also remove them and edit the content while the message is in the queue. That helps to provide more context and more tasks to AI, and let it run faster for a longer period of time.

Other improvements and fixes:

• SCIM operations now appear in Audit log
• Improvements to AI dashboard generation
• Improved Data Model IDE frontend performance
• AI agent now reads context from all descriptions and meta.ai_context field. Learn more
• Updated UI for improved readability
• Added user deactivation feature — you can now deactivate users instead of deleting them
• You can download data as CSV directly from dashboard widgets now
• Context window usage is now visible in the chat interface next to the send button

Calculated Fields

Calculated fields let you define query-level calculations — such as custom measures or dimensions — directly from the Explore and Workbook interfaces. Under the hood, they are compiled into Semantic SQL and executed on the backend, so they work seamlessly with the rest of your data model.

This release introduces common measure calculations (e.g., difference, percentage of total) and quick aggregates for dimensions. Filtered measures and additional calculation types are coming in future releases.

AI agents can create calculated fields as well, enabling end-to-end analytics workflows powered by natural language.

Other improvements and fixes:

• Fixed charts creation by OpenAI models
• Data labels enhancements and pie chart support
• Improved UI to manage KPI blocks layout
• Fixes to Excel and Google Sheets integrations

Data Masking

Data masking is now integrated with access policies and supports both static and dynamic masking. With data masking, you can return masked values for restricted members instead of denying access entirely. Users who don't have full access to a member will see a transformed value (e.g., ***, -1, NULL) rather than receiving an error.

To use data masking, define a mask parameter on dimensions or measures, and add member_masking to your access policy alongside member_level. Members in member_level get real values; members not in member_level but in member_masking get masked values; members in neither are denied.

Data masking is available in Cube Core starting from v1.6.23.

Image Attachments in Chat

You can now attach images to your chats in data model, workbooks, dashboards, and analytics chat. Show the AI a chart and ask it to create a similar one, or share an ERD diagram and ask it to turn it into a Cube data model.

Other improvements and fixes:

• Semantic modeling agent can now read query history to debug failed queries
• Power BI integration can now automatically authorize users present in Cube and use their defined user attributes and groups in data access policies
• Updated pagination across multiple pages
• Minor UI updates to improve consistency and readability

Saved Explorations

You can now save explorations and return to them later. Saved explorations appear in the Workspace alongside workbooks and dashboards, and can be organized into folders.

Saved explorations are integrated with the Google Sheets and Excel add-ons. Save an exploration in Cube and apply it directly from the add-on, or create one in the add-on and update it from your Workspace.

Other improvements and fixes:

• Folder-inherited permissions are now displayed in the share dialog
• Google Sheets and Excel add-on UIs updated to match the Explore experience
• Added support for GPT 5.3 and GPT 5.4
• Introduced Auto option for LLM selection in agent settings
• Added option to trim trailing zeros in number formatting

Notifications

You can now send email or Slack notifications with a screenshot of a dashboard after each scheduled refresh. This is useful for distributing regular updates to stakeholders without requiring them to log in.

Notifications are configured as part of a scheduled refresh. When creating or editing a schedule, click Add notification to expand the notification configuration. Choose between email and Slack delivery channels, and attach a dashboard screenshot as PNG or PDF.

Email notifications are sent to selected workspace users with a link to the dashboard and the attached screenshot. Slack notifications post a message with the screenshot to a selected channel — just connect your Slack workspace via a one-time OAuth flow to get started.

Notifications are available on Premium and Enterprise plans.

Personal Core Data API Token

Cube users can now generate a personal token to authenticate SQL API connections directly from external tools like BI dashboards, notebooks, and SQL clients. The token carries the user's identity, so all groups, user attributes, and data access policies are automatically applied to every query.

Navigate to Preferences → Personal Core Data API Token and click Generate Token.

Other improvements and fixes:

• Workbooks page has been renamed to "Workspace" and now displays reports created in Google Sheets and Excel add-ons
• Reference lines support in charts builder
• Various fixes to charts and visualizations
• Improvements to workbook filters

Viewer Role

A new Viewer role is now available for users who need quick access to data without the complexity of data exploration or workbook creation. Viewers can browse dashboards, use Analytics Chat, and query Cube semantic models from external tools like Tableau and Power BI.

This role is ideal for business stakeholders who want to consume analytics without managing data models or building reports.

The Viewer role is available on the Premium plan.

Other improvements and fixes:

• Share content (workbooks, dashboards) with groups, not just individual users
• Improvements to data labels and dual axis charts
• SCIM now supports user attributes sync
• Certified queries can now be edited
• Chat history is now persistent
• Various fixes to Google Spreadsheets and Excel add-ons

SCIM, or System for Cross-domain Identity Management, allows for the automation of user provisioning in your Cube account.

With SCIM enabled, user accounts can be automatically created, updated, and suspended based on your IDP settings—eliminating the need for manual account management in Cube.

Custom user attributes can be synced from your identity provider to Cube, allowing you to fully centralize your user management.

This integration helps ensure that your team's access stays in sync with your organization's directory.

Other improvements and fixes:

• The AI agent is now available in the data source connection step and can help you connect to data sources.
• Clearer error messages for data model misconfigurations.
• Added a configuration option to set the timeout for agent queries to semantic models.

Create Custom Charts with AI

You can now build fully custom visualizations using HTML, CSS, and Markdown directly within Cube. Custom (HTML) Charts use the Handlebars template language to dynamically pass data values into your charts, making it easy to create data-driven custom visuals that go beyond standard chart types.

The AI agent can generate custom charts on your behalf — describe what you need in Analytics Chat, Explore, or Workbooks, and get a fully functional visualization without writing code manually.

Other improvements and fixes:

• Updated the layout of admin pages
• Fixed formatting issues in Excel and Google Spreadsheets plugins
• AI now creates proper KPI charts
• Added support for Anthropic as a BYOM provider
• Added Opus 4.6 support
• BYOM model settings can now be edited
• Deployments list is now available in the admin panel
