:star: Notable features:

  • A new Create button in the main navigation panel lets users create dashboards, boards, LookML models, and database connections. To view the button, users must have permissions to create dashboards, models, or connections.
  • A new Explore from Here icon, which lets dashboard viewers explore a tile’s data in one click, now appears on dashboard tiles.
  • Looker now supports Databricks Unity Catalog. When you create a Databricks connection in Looker, you can define the Databricks catalog in which Looker will run queries.
  • A new Labs feature, Delegate Schedule Management, introduces the manage_schedules permission. This permission lets users reassign and delete schedules on the Schedules page for the models that they can access.
