We are beginning to roll out dashboards and controls to Observable Canvas users.

• Use the “Control” button on the bottom toolbar to add an input control to your canvas, such as a slider, date range, or toggle.

  • Controls can be referenced by name in SQL nodes. When you interact with a control, your query (and anything downstream) will update.

  • You can configure the available options for each control.

  • Controls types include date, date range, numeric range, radio group, select, slider, text, and toggle.

• Use the “Dashboard” button on the bottom toolbar to add a dashboard builder to your canvas.

  • You can name your dashboard and add nodes and controls to it.

  • You can view your dashboard at its own dedicated page in a mobile-friendly responsive grid layout.

  • Nodes and controls retain their same dataflow from the canvas, so you can interact with your dashboard through controls and chart brushes.
