Metabase 59.1

What’s in the release? | 59.1

Upgrading | 59.1

Metabase Open Source | 59.1

Metabase Enterprise | 59.1

New features | 59.1

Data Studio

Data Studio provides tools to shape and track your data so everyone can trust the numbers.

  • Create an easy-to-understand semantic layer to match how people think about your business.
  • Speed up queries by transforming tables to anticipate usage patterns.
  • View dependency graphs to identify and fix problems before they impact reports.

What’s in Data Studio:

  • Library*. A curated space for your organization’s most trusted analytics content—tables, metrics, and SQL snippets that your data team recommends.
  • Data structure. Add table metadata to make tables easier to work with.
  • Glossary. Define terms relevant to your business, both for people and agents trying to understand your data.
  • Dependency graph*. A visual map of how your content connects, so you can understand the impact of changes before you make them.
  • Dependency diagnostics*. See which items have broken dependencies, or that aren’t used.
  • Transforms. Wrangle your data in Metabase, write the query results back to your database, and reuse them in Metabase as sources for new queries.

Data studio comes with new permissions*, git sync*, and an option to add a separate connection* for write operations.

* Available on Pro and Enterprise plans.

Visualizations

  • Box and whisker visualization (#10783).
    • Our second-most requested viz type is here!
    • To build a box plot, build a query with a numeric column and one or two grouping dimensions, then select “Box plot” in visualization settings.
  • Conditional colors for the “Big number” visualization type.
    • You can choose to display the number a certain color based on condition, for example green for <10, red for >10.

AI

  • Single-shot text-to-SQL generation for Metabase Open Source
    • AI for everyone! Open source self-hosted users can now BYO Anthropic key to generate SQL code.
    • Go to the Admin Settings > AI to enable, and then try it in SQL editor with Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+I.
  • Agent API (Pro/Enterprise)
    • Programmatic API for LLM agents and external tools to query Metabase’s semantic layer (tables, metrics, segments, measures). Includes streaming response support and authenticated endpoints.
  • Configure embedded and internal Metabot separately.

Embedded analytics updates | 59.1

Modular embedding

  • Content translations in modular embedding and the SDK (#63395) (Pro/Enterprise).

    • Translate chart titles, column names, and even data itself. Upload a dictionary and pass a locale parameter to your embed.
    • Previously only available for static/guest embedding. Now in v59expanded to authenticated modular embeds.

  • Alerts in modular embedding (Pro/Enterprise).

    • Both StaticQuestion and InteractiveQuestion components in modular embedding now have the option to enable email alerts.
    • Reminder: dashboards subscriptions were already added to modular embedding in v58.

  • SQL editor component in modular embedding #67295 (Pro/Enterprise)

    • You can now embed the SQL editor by using the interactive question component with question-id = new-native.
    • Keep in mind that there’s a lot of nuance to how Metabase permissions work with SQL! Make sure to thoroughly review docs for your permission setup if you’re planning to enable SQL editor for your embedding users.

  • Auto-refresh support for modular embedding(#68195) (Pro/Enterprise).

  • handleLink function for modular embedding (Pro/Enterprise).

    • Customize what happens when links are clicked in your embedded components
    • Previously only available in the React SDK (since v57). Now available in any modular embedding setup.

  • Support saving and editing questions created with Metabot in modular embedding (#66073)

    • Previously, embedded Metabot could create a question/chart, but users did not have the option to save it
    • In v59, you can pass a parameter to control whether you want to enable saving questions generated by Metabot.

  • Guest embedding can now be used when database routing is enabled. Metabase will use the primary database.

    • Guest embedding doesn’t have a logged-in Metabase user, so there’s no way to actually “route” the queries. This update just ensures that the guest embedding functionality is not blocked when DB routing is enabled. All queries from guest embeds will be routed through the primary database.

Tenants

Tenant (Pro/Enterprise only) were released in v58. They simplify content and permission management in multi-tenant Metabases. In v59, we released a couple of improvements:

  • Create tenant attributes with JWT.

    • Pass @tenant.attribute in your JWT to create a tenant attribute. Tenant attributes can be used to configure data permissions.
    • In v58, you could only create tenant attributes through the Metabase UI. In v59, the setup can be automated via JWT.

  • Configure access to tenant collections

    • In v58, only admins had access to tenant collections. In v59, you can grant access to tenant collections to other groups of internal users
