Customize your color schemes
Create custom color palettes and apply color to data elements in specific ways. See Working With Color.
Move filter panels in projects

Data wrangling — update data sources after upload
Make updates to existing data sources including editing columns, and creating new ones for use in projects. See Modifying Uploaded Data Sources.
Share reports with others on a read-only basis
Give people limited access to your reports. Let them view and interact with visualizations without worrying about compromising the data. See Investigating Data Using Interactions.
New ways to present data visualizations
The following visualizations were added:
Donut charts – Similar to pie charts
Tile views – Performance tiles present a distilled analysis of data
Text boxes – Annotate your data with text
