👋👋 Hello NocoDB community, Hello! 👋👋

We're super excited to bring to you our latest release packed with features you've been eagerly waiting for. Here's what's new and what's fresh.

🥬 What's new .. What's fresh ?

🌟 Group By in Grid View

We're unveiling solution for the most requested feature in our github open issues today.

🔀 Dynamic Grouping : Group your data seamlessly based on any table field, from project stages to client names and product categories.

🌀 Multi level Nesting: Dive deeper with multi-level grouping for intricate data hierarchies.

🔎 Optimized Viewing: Amplify your grouped views with intuitive filter and sort options.

✨ Seamless Collaboration: Share your grouped views with teammates for streamlined collaboration. Align your projects, meet deadlines, and achieve milestones together, all under one organized roof.

👊 : API Goodness : And ofcourse, all this group by goodness is available as APIs too. They were in fact available from our day one of our launch!

🔗🔗 Introducing "Links" relational column

Moving forward, we're transitioning from "LinkToAnotherRecord" to a more efficient feature named "Links". Here's what you need to know:

🔄 Functionality : Like before, "Links" will be utilized to establish relationships such as "has many" and "many to many".

📊 Automatic Rollups : One significant advantage is the default rollup creation. This means users will instantly see the count of child rows tied to a particular row, making data visualization much simpler.

🚫 Addressing Limitations : "LinkToAnotherRecord" had a clear drawback. It could only display a limited number of rows within a cell. It performed adequately for counts below 5, but anything more rendered it cumbersome and ineffective for users.

💾 High Volume Adaptability : Considering NocoDB users handle millions of rows, the transition to "Links" aims to make the user experience smoother and the UI cleaner.

🎨 Unified Layout for all DBs

• Unified Database Layout: All your databases, will now appear in a single, clean, and minimalistic layout. Our goal? To ensure you have a seamless experience with less clicking and smoother navigation when jumping between databases - we do understand you have 10s to 100 of databases in your team and we wanted to make this seamless for you.

📊 A New Details Tab for Table

• A single place for all your table's details: Dive deep into your data details with ease. Whether you're looking for Tables Relational diagram, APIs, or Webhooks, find everything under a single table. This consolidated view will make table management a breeze. More goodies along the way - see the coming soon ;)

📘 New Docs

At NocoDB, we're always looking to enhance your experience. That's why we've shifted our docs to Docusaurus 🐲 from Nuxt/content! Docusaurus is renowned in the dev community, supports multiple versions 🔄, and offers multilingual content too 🌍. Plus, its eye-catching themes make navigation a delight 🌟.

👀 Coming Soon : A Sneak preview 👀

Ever felt bogged down by columns within tables that stretch out endlessly, making every edit of a new column feel like a crawl? We've been listening, and we've got the solution.

🔥 New Field Manager: Dive into a whole new realm where hundreds of fields won't slow you down. No more one-by-one edits. No more endless horizontal scrolling. Just seamless columns/field management at your fingertips.

👁️ Exclusive Sneak Peek Ahead!: We can hardly contain our excitement!
