🔥 Produce Updates - July 24, 2025

▪New report canvas sizes
Two new preset canvas size options are available, letting you control the width and height of your report on the screen. The new options are size A4, available in portrait or landscape orientations.

▪New alt text field for images

You can now add alt text to report images to make them accessible to screen readers. See the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) guidelines on alt text for more information about writing alt text.

▪Looker connector enhancements

Additional calculated field functions are now available in Preview.

▪Performance improvement for BigQuery data sources

Report viewers may notice improved performance when the report uses a BigQuery data source.
The BigQuery connector supports short query optimized mode. In this mode, when BigQuery determines it can finish a query quickly, BigQuery prioritizes returning immediate results instead of creating a BigQuery job.

▪Highlight charts by filter

The Applied Filters panel now lets you click on a filter to highlight all charts that the filter applies to.

▪Add descriptions to reports

You can now add text descriptions to a report. The report search now matches the report title as well as the description.
