We're excited to announce our September product updates designed to transform your data governance and management experience. These new features provide a preview of the upcoming major changes to the user experience of data.world as well as provide an enhanced view license usage.

🔥 Coming Soon!

New Marketplace & Navigation Experience (Public Preview)

Finding and sharing the right data and data products is about to get a lot easier with our redesigned navigation experience and new Marketplace portal. This intuitive interface helps your organization:

• Navigate with clarity across our core and new Marketplace product offerings (Catalog, Marketplace, Glossary, Workbench), enabling faster onboarding and clearer understanding of available resources
• Build and organize data products with streamlined workflows for creating, managing, and publishing data products and domains
• Expand data accessibility to business users who can now easily discover high-value data products and request access with ease.

The new layout is currently available in Public Preview. Soon users will see an announcement about the upcoming opt-out preview, scheduled for early October. The new navigation experience is scheduled to become the standard experience on the platform in late October.  We encourage you to opt in, explore the experience, and share your feedback as we continue to refine this feature. Learn more about our new Marketplace experience as well as our new navigation and layout preview. 

💫 What’s Improved?

Enhanced Users Dashboard for Optimized License Management

Following our April transition to measuring license consumption based on Activated Users (those who have logged in at least once) we've now launched a more comprehensive Users dashboard that provides:

• Detailed license usage reporting that breaks down users by license type (Full users, Read-only users, etc.)
• User-level visibility to identify exactly who your active users are
• Flexible filtering options to exclude specific roles (like administrators) from your reports

This enhancement is particularly valuable as it shows how we've aligned license costs with actual usage, ensuring you only pay for users who are actively engaging with the platform. Learn more about the enhanced Users dashboard here.

We're committed to continuously improving your data governance experience. Stay tuned for more updates in the coming months, and please share your feedback on these new features.

Stay tuned for more exciting updates in the months ahead!
