You can now share authorship on notebooks, to share credit with the people involved in every aspect of its creation. This was the [first feature request](https://github.com/observablehq/feedback/issues/1) ever logged in our feedback repo, and we’re excited to bring it to you now! You can choose the order in which the authors appear, and give each an optional description of their role. On team notebooks, you can also remove all authors so that the notebook lists no individual information. You can list anybody as an author, even if they’re not on your team or don’t have permission to edit the document. Currently, authors appear only on the notebook page itself; soon, we will start to show them around other parts of the site, like profiles and search. About half of the substantial notebooks our team makes are written by more than one person. Many of the most magical experiences on Observable come from pairing with someone with a different perspective. We’re excited that the names at the top can now reflect that. To edit authors, go to *Settings → Set authors* in the notebook menu. Learn more about [**Authors**](https://observablehq.com/@observablehq/introducing-authors). We would love to hear your [feedback](https://github.com/observablehq/feedback). 💬 ${await FileAttachment("multiple-authors@1.png").image({width: 640})}30:T4cb,--- October 20th, 2021 ### New reusable, configurable D3 charts
[D3 Charts](/collection/@d3/charts) help you get started quickly with D3. To use these charts, import or copy-paste the chart function into your code, then pass the chart function your data and any options. To get started, browse the [D3 Charts collection](/collection/@d3/charts). These charts are free and open source.

To learn more, check out [the announcement](/@d3/charts?collection=@d3/charts). This work is a new initiative to try to make the D3 examples—and D3 itself—easier to learn and use. So far we’ve ported about forty examples to this new approach; we’ll port the remaining examples (and make new ones!) in the coming months. We’d love your feedback and questions, either as a comment on the notebook or [in the forum](https://talk.observablehq.com/t/d3-charts/5724). Thanks! 🙏 31:T580,October 18, 2021 ### Learn more about Observable
Today, Observable released our new [product page](https://observablehq.com/product) to share more about our customers and community, and how they are leveraging Observable to build the best data experiences on the web. **Observable’s mission is to help everyone make sense of the world with data.** Observable is the **collaborative data canvas**, built for and powered by community. We’re building a place where people can work together to explore, analyze, and communicate with data. Uncover new insights, answer more questions, and make better decisions - right in the browser. Start by forking a project from teammates or from the largest community of visualization experts and data practitioners (scientists, analysts, developers). Bring your data in from spreadsheets or database connectors. Use components or write custom code with any JavaScript library. Observable lets you work with your data however you want. _**Thank you for being part of the Observable community.**_

Learn more about Observable and what's possible.

32:T44d,--- September 30, 2021 ### Introducing Cloud files
Observable is expanding the ways in which you can access your data from different platforms, with *Cloud Files*. Cloud files make it possible for your notebook to have a live reference to a file stored in a public (or private) cloud provider, so you can access your data directly and conveniently to start your data insights journey. This is an addition to existing ways for data access on the platform including [File Attachments](https://observablehq.com/@observablehq/file-attachments), [Database Connectors](https://observablehq.com/@observablehq/databases), as well as notebook [Secrets](https://observablehq.com/@observablehq/secrets) for securely accessing data via private APIs. Currently, Cloud files from *Microsoft Office 365* and *Microsoft OneDrive* are supported. Support for more cloud providers will be added soon. Learn more about [**Cloud files**](https://observablehq.com/@observablehq/cloud-files). We would love to hear your [feedback](https://github.com/observablehq/feedback). 💬
33:T428,minimap = md ` --- September 1, 2021 ### Minimap now on Observable Next
We’ve added an *improved* Minimap in Observable Next. The Observable Minimap functionality shows how every notebook cell connects to other cells in that notebook, *mapping* out the cell dependencies within a given notebook. It is a visual representation of dataflow within Observable notebooks. Learn more about visual dataflow [here](https://observablehq.com/@observablehq/introducing-visual-dataflow). Click on the icon to try out the new minimap yourself!

***Note:*** *To opt-in to Observable Next, [enable experimental features](./working-with-observable-collaboration-release).*

`34:T417,compare = md ` --- August 13, 2021 ### Comparing, Merging, and making Suggestions in Next
We're excited to launch the existing *Compare, Suggest, and Merge* in Observable Next. Observable has supported comparing differences between notebooks, [making suggestions to another notebook](https://observablehq.com/@observablehq/suggestions-and-comments?collection=@observablehq/editing-publishing-collaborating), and [merging changes from one notebook to another](https://observablehq.com/@observablehq/fork-share-merge?collection=@observablehq/editing-publishing-collaborating). These features are an important part of collaborating on the Observable platform. Comparing, merging, and suggesting work the same as they do in the current *(classic)* version of the platform, but have a shiny new look to it.

***Note:*** *To opt-in to Observable Next, [enable experimental features](./working-with-observable-collaboration-release).*

`35:T705,datapane = md ` --- August 11, 2021 ### Data Pane
We've expanded the _File Attachments Pane_ in Observable notebooks to include all data sources available to you within the notebook, including databases! You can now quickly see which of your resources are currently in use, and add new data sources in the same place. Just click the ${svg``} icon to try out the new _**Data Pane**_ yourself!

***Note:*** *The **Data Pane** is currently available in Observable Next (the latest version of the Observable platform). To opt-in to Observable Next, [enable experimental features](./working-with-observable-collaboration-release).*

`36:T50c,md ` --- August 3, 2021 ### Spellcheck content in your notebook
You can now *spellcheck* your Observable notebooks, so you don't have those pesky spelling mistakes. When writing Markdown, open the cell for editing and see misspelled words. Right click to find spelling correction options. Observable spellchecking uses your browser's built-in spellchecker feature. Language and other controls may be found in the browser's settings. Spellchecking is on by default for Markdown cells, but can be disabled from the Observable [user settings page](https://observablehq.com/settings).

***Note:*** *The **spellchecker** is currently available in Observable Next (the latest version of the Observable platform). To opt-in to Observable Next, [enable experimental features](./working-with-observable-collaboration-release).*

`37:T651,newmodal = md ` --- July 22, 2021 ### *New* modal to create notebooks from Templates
It’s now easy to use any [Observable Template](https://observablehq.com/templates) as a starting point for you new notebook. Just click on the ${svg``} icon and select the template you want to start with. You can still start with a blank notebook if you want to, but Observable Templates get you to a shareable, publishable notebook faster than ever before.

New notebook modal can easily get you started with a Template.

**Note:** The *New* modal is currently available in Observable Next (the latest version of the Observable platform). To opt-in to Observable Next, [enable experimental features](./working-with-observable-collaboration-release).

`38:T4a0,md ` --- July 19, 2021 ### Code Snippets in the notebook
We have added *code snippets* to Observable notebooks, so users can insert skeleton code for common tasks as they create, build and modify their notebooks. Code snippets are available via the new ${svg``} **Snippets** side pane, and through the *improved autocomplete menu* that opens below a cell once a user starts typing.

**Note**: The Code Snippets pane and improved autocomplete menu are currently available in Observable Next (the latest version of the Observable platform). To opt-in to Observable Next, [enable experimental features](./working-with-observable-collaboration-release).

`39:T654,md` --- May 13, 2021 ### JavaScript, Markdown, HTML, and TeX Cell Modes. OH MY!
We're excited to announce __Cell Modes!__ ✍️ You can choose the mode you want to edit - Javascript, Markdown, HTML and TeX. We want to make it as easy as possible for you to write different types of content, not just code. 💞 Better syntax highlighting. No more fussy escaping. It's not just Javascript! When you create a new cell, you'll notice that a menu appears on the right of the editor. You can select the **cell mode** when editing a new cell.

You can select JavaScript, Markdown, HTML, or TeX as the cell mode.

Once you've selected a mode, you can start typing! As you saw above, when editing a cell in Markdown mode, you can simply write plain Markdown and get the output that you want. No more managing the opening and closing backticks of the Markdown tagged template literal, no more need to escape backticks! See the latest [**Cell Modes** document](./cell-modes) for more details.

**Note:** Cell Modes is currently part of Observable Collaboration. To opt-in, [enable experimental features](./working-with-observable-collaboration-release). We can't wait to hear your feedback. 💬

`3a:T453,May11bettersearch = md ` --- May 11, 2021 ### Search just got a bit better
We've added Search 🔎 to _Observable Collaboration_ with some improvements. You can now choose to search Observable or just your notebooks. The search dialog pops up with a list of your recently edited notebooks to help you quickly switch between notebooks you’re working on. You can find more flexible and fun ways to search using these [tips](https://observablehq.com/@observablehq/searching-on-observable).

**Note:** Observable Collaboration is currently experimental. To opt-in, [enable experimental features](./working-with-observable-collaboration-release). We’d love your feedback.

\nYou can now *find* and *replace* the contents of notebook cells from an *all-new side pane*. \n\nFind and replace works similarly to find/replace functionality in other code editors. When you enter a search term in the find/replace side pane, you will see a list of all matching results. From there, you can replace each result with new text. In addition, you can specify whether you want searches to be case-sensitive or not, to only look for whole words, or to search using regular expressions. When replacing results found with regular expressions, you can even use regular expression capture groups in your replace term.\n\nLearn more about [**Find and replace**](https://observablehq.com/@observablehq/find-and-replace).

\nObservable now supports a new cell type: *SQL cells*. This is in addition to JavaScript, Markdown, and other existing cell types. \n\nWith SQL cells, you can connect to a database, write a SQL query directly in the cell, and easily explore the results of that query in the cell's built-in (read-only) table. You can also name SQL cells, and reference their output in other cells in the notebook, for example, to build Plot charts. \n\nLearn more about [**SQL cells**](https://observablehq.com/@observablehq/sql-cells).

\nNaming JavaScript cells has always been a key part of Observable's reactivity, and now we've extended that functionality to cover all cell types. So you can *add cell names to cells of any mode*, including SQL, Markdown, HTML, and TeX! Not only does this make referencing all cells in your notebooks possible, but it also makes linking to them easier.\n\nTry it out in the cell toolbar and [let us know what you think](https://github.com/observablehq/feedback)!\n\n

\nWe've enhanced Observable's user interface with *cell selection*, a new way to navigate your notebook cells, and perform bulk actions on them, such as rearranging multiple cells at once, copy/pasting them, deleting them, and so on. \n\nYou can select one (or multiple) cells using [keyboard shortcuts](https://observablehq.com/@observablehq/keyboard-shortcuts) or using the mouse (command-click, then select multiple cells using check boxes next to each cell). You can also select cells by clicking the \n${svg``} \nicon from the cell toolbar. \n\nLearn more about [cell selection](https://observablehq.com/@observablehq/keyboard-shortcuts#selectingCells) and [let us know what you think](https://github.com/observablehq/feedback)!\n","pinned":false,"hidden":false,"mode":"md","author":"$undefined","summary":"$undefined","output":"","database":"$undefined"},{"id":872,"value":"---\nNovember 12, 2021\n \n### Support for Google Sheets in Cloud Files\n
\nObservable now supports *Google Drive* as part of its *Cloud Files* interface, which provides a *live reference* to files stored in Google Drive. \n\nThis means you can now easily bring data from Google Sheets (or any other data files in your Google Drive) directly into the Observable canvas to begin exploring, analyzing and visualizing it, without the need for tedious downloading and uploading of files from your Google drive, or stale data that happens as a result of that.\n\nLearn more about [**Cloud files**](https://observablehq.com/@observablehq/cloud-files).

\nWe've made significant changes to the cell toolbar to enhance the creating and editing experiences in Observable. \n\nThe cell toolbar is now fixed to the bottom of the browser window and appears whenever a cell is in focus. The buttons that control cell behavior and operations have been consolidated into this bottom toolbar. \n\nIn addition, we've added *new buttons* in this toolbar so users can easily duplicate cells, and move cells up and down the canvas. \n\n
