New

With today's launch of Equals 24, we've started rolling out a new and improved querying experience. The changes address extensive customer feedback and are a big milestone in our continued effort to make querying your data faster and more fluid.

Starting this week, workspaces will be migrated in phases. When the new query experience is available for your workspace, a modal will appear in the Equals app. For a complete summary of everything new and improved, see our help docs.

For now, here's a quick recap of what's new in Equals 24 from Bobby:

New

Inspired by customer feedback, we've introduced two new chart styles:

  1. Modern
    Fresh and fun, with rounded edges, smoothed lines, lighter labels, and vibrant colors

  2. Professional
    Classic and authoritative, with straight edges, heavier labels, and traditional colors

New color palettes can be applied to charts based on the selected style:

  • Bright or Cool (Modern)

  • Business or Basic (Professional)

  • Purple or Stone for a monochromatic look (both styles)

As always, you'll still be able to customize the color of individual series and create your own custom color palettes for reuse across your workspace.

For a complete summary of what's new and improved with charts, see this help doc.
