We're pleased to announce our 2nd-generation Monte Carlo collector is now live for beta customers! Monte Carlo is a Data Observability Platform that lets users know about data problems (like broken pipelines), so they can proactively resolve issues. 

The Monte Carlo collector harvests both Incidents and Monitors, which inform users about the issue, when it happened, and where it happened.

For example, users can view relevant information about Incidents and Monitors, like Status, Count, the Date Created, as well as Owner and Severity. You can also open the specific Incident in Monte Carlo directly from the data.world platform. 

You can read more about the newest Monte Carlo collector in our documentation. 

Existing customers, please reach out to your data.world representative to learn more about becoming a beta user.

Quick update! The browse card - a configurable, quick navigation card that directs end-users to a curated starting point - was such a hit with our private instance Enterprise customers that we've extended it so you can configure one for each of your Organization profile pages. Woohoo!

Read our Implementation Guide to get started.

We have some awesome news! Our member access summary page is now live!

The member access summary makes it much easier for members to understand the various levels of access they have in an organization. As we work to make our access levels more flexible and granular, this page also gives our org admins the ability to quickly audit the level of access their members have and take action.

The latest change in a series of updates to access control now provides a more intuitive default experience for the All members group when building a new Organization. The default experience now restricts users from viewing catalog resources or datasets and projects - allowing only view access of datasets or projects shared with the organization or set as Discoverable. This change allows admins to set more granular access through user groups with different tiers of access, leaving the default All members group as the most restricted.

To give members more access, admin users can change the access configuration for the All members group or add members to groups with more access. 

You can read more about our "out-of-the-box" user groups on the Docs Portal.

With our latest release, users are now able to bookmark even more things. Just click on the bookmark icon from search results on the Resources tab or directly on the detail page to create bookmarks for your metadata resources, insights, collections, datasets, projects and more.

As you click on the bookmark you'll see how many other people have bookmarked the page. Find the full list of your bookmarks on your bookmark page and your latest additions on your personal Action Center home page.

Visit our Docs Portal for more details about bookmarks.

We're excited to announce that we've released a significant new feature to give organizations more flexibility in managing members and permissions through User Groups.

With groups, you can:

• Create new custom groups to independently manage people, data, and metadata on the platform much more easily.
• Grant groups access to organization-owned datasets and projects.
• Manage different levels of access to all metadata catalog resources via groups.
• Have different access levels for people responsible for catalog configuration and for catalog curation.

This feature has changed how new users are added to organizations on the platform. This short video highlights the changes. 

We are excited to announce upcoming improvements to our help docs portal, including streamlining and consolidating our product documentation, cleaning up deprecated articles and links, and improving the navigation and search experience!

With the site improvements, some of your bookmarks or saved links may no longer work. We have diligently mapped deprecated URLs to the new pags to keep the impact on our users as low as possible. 

If you encounter a link that no longer works, the easiest way to find what you need is to go to the docs portal landing page and search for the information. Please contact support with any questions of issues.

data.world's updated navigation—featuring the Discover button—is now available for all users!

The Discover experience transforms the empty search page into an actionable entry point for all of your resources—whether organization-owned or in the open community.

Learn more about the updated navigation in the preview announcement or read the updated documentation.

We now support the ability to edit collection metadata through the data.world app. If you have the required permissions within your organization, you should now see an edit button on the collection pages.

This functionality is only around editing, with support for suggestions coming soon.

For our enterprise customers, we made a small but significant change to the related resources table. 

The table now returns up to 100 items per page, and is scrollable to enable users to quickly browse the resources. Pagination is supported up to 10 pages, for a max of 1000 resources. The filter box will remain present if there are more than 10 items.

For resources with more than 1000 related items, we recommend taking advantage of the filter to help narrow down the result set.
