You can now show Tableau views on screens with the Tableau Views app, a Premium app on Core and Enterprise plans, and connect Google accounts from Settings > Connections for Sheets, Docs, Slides, Drive, and Calendar events.

Show Tableau views on screens

You can now connect Tableau Cloud or Tableau Server (2023.3 or later) from Settings > Connections, then add the Tableau Views app to show a view on screens. Tableau Views is a Premium app on Core and Enterprise plans.

• Open Settings and select Connections.
• Find the Tableau app row and click Add, then connect Tableau Cloud or Tableau Server (2023.3 or later). Use this row, not Tableau dashboards, which is the older Dashboards integration.
• Add the Tableau Views app to a playlist or a Studio design and choose the view to show on screens.

Manage Google accounts from Connections

You can now connect Google accounts from Settings > Connections, and one account covers Sheets, Docs, Slides, Drive, and Calendar events. Anyone on the team can add a connection, and each person manages their own. An account stays private until the person who connected it shares it, so teammates can use a shared account without signing in to Google themselves.

• Open Settings and select Connections.
• Find Google, click Add, then click Sign in with Google.
• On an account you connected, you can click Share with team, Stop sharing, Reconnect, or Disconnect. Only the person who connected an account can share it.
• On a team-owned account, anyone can click Reconnect, and only an admin can click Disconnect.
• If you disconnect an account, Google apps using it stop on screens. If you stop sharing one, your teammates' apps using it stop. Either way, those apps need to be saved again. An account that stops working shows a Connection failed badge.

Preview a design in the Studio

You can now preview a design from the Studio editor while you work on it, including changes you haven't saved. The preview frame matches your design's aspect ratio and scales to fit, so square, portrait, widescreen, and custom designs play without white bars inside the frame.

• Open a design in the Studio and click Preview in the editor header, next to Save. You don't need to save first.
• The preview plays your slides in order, with animations, video, and audio. It has no orientation toggle because the frame follows your design's shape. Playlist preview keeps its own orientation toggle.
• Press Escape or click Close to return to the editor. Your work stays in the editor.

For more on designing in the Studio, see the Design Studio Overview.

See live dashboard run progress

When Fugo captures a dashboard in its cloud, it now shows each stage as it happens: Signing in, Loading the dashboard, and Taking the screenshot. If a stage fails, you can see which one, and when Fugo is retrying it.

• Open a dashboard and click Edit. While a run is in progress, the stage list and a progress bar appear as an overlay on the dashboard preview in the settings window, not in the settings form.
• On the Dashboards page, each card shows a single line for the current stage, a progress bar, and an Updating… badge. If the run fails, the card shows Failed at: and the stage name.
• If a stage fails, the preview shows an error overlay with a hint for the problem, such as missing credentials or a sign-in issue, and buttons to fix it. The stage list stays frozen at the failed stage.
• The Pause duration (seconds) setting has been removed from the Display section of dashboard settings.

Create a layout from Ask Fugo

Ask Fugo now includes a Create layout action, so you can start a new layout without going to the Layouts page first.

• Open Ask Fugo from the top of the sidebar, or press Ctrl K (⌘K on a Mac), then find Create layout under Quick Actions.
• Click it to start the same layout creation flow as the Layouts page.

For more on layouts, see the Layouts Overview.

Publish to a layout's zones before screens use it

You can now publish playlists to a layout's zones before any screen uses that layout, so the zone content is ready before you assign the layout to screens.

• Open a layout and click Publish to zones in its details panel. The Publish content to your zones dialog also opens after you save a new layout, even if no screen uses it yet.
• Pick a playlist for each zone. The playlist is added to the zone; it does not replace playlists already there.
• You need permission to edit and publish playlists to use this.

For more on layouts, see the Layouts Overview.

Password-protect virtual screen viewing links

You can once again add a password to a virtual screen viewing link, so people need the password to open it.

• Open a virtual screen, then on the Basic tab find Password protection.
• Click Set password and enter a password of at least 4 characters. Click Remove password to turn it off.
• The setting itself notes that a password keeps casual viewers out but isn't secure, so don't reuse a password you use anywhere else.

For more on virtual screens, see How To Create & Share a Virtual Screen With Fugo.

Use list views on playlists and triggers

The Playlists and Triggers pages now both have a list view, with multi-select, so you can sort and act on several items at once.

• On Playlists, switch to List view. The Grid view is still available. Bulk actions are Delete, Duplicate, Publish, and Unpublish.
• On Triggers, switch to List View. You can choose which columns to show. The bulk action in List View is Delete only.
• Select several items with the row checkboxes, then use a bulk action. Destructive actions ask you to confirm.

For more on playlists, see the Playlists Overview. For more on triggers, see the Triggers Overview.

Save or Save & run in dashboard settings

Dashboard settings now have separate Reset, Save, and Save & run actions, so you can save your changes without starting a run, or save and run in one step.

• Open Dashboards, open a dashboard, and click Edit.
• Save saves your changes and closes the settings. Save & run saves, starts a run, and keeps the settings open. On an on-prem dashboard, Save & run just saves.

Other improvements

• The main sidebar keeps core features visible on shorter screens.
• The Planner now opens in Timeline view by default.
• The Learn the basics checklist has been removed from the home page.

Fixes

• Google pickers in app settings open again when your browser blocks third-party cookies. You'll still see Google's own Allow cookies prompt.
• Playlist cards now show one item with a count of the rest, instead of items side by side.
• The Configure app cog is back on the toolbar for any app in a Studio carousel.
• An unpinned sidebar no longer flickers open and closed while the account menu is open.
• Screenshot thumbnails stop checking for updates when they're turned off or no longer on the page.
