New navigation and Designer experience
Matillion is rolling out a new navigation and Designer user experience, designed to make navigation more intuitive, streamline the pipeline creation workflow, and significantly improve performance across the Data Productivity Cloud.
These improvements are part of Matillion's ongoing effort to improve user experience, enhance productivity, and support modern data teams with tools that are both powerful and intuitive.
Global navigation: Faster access, consistent control
The new persistent left navigation provides consistent access to key areas of the platform from anywhere within the application. This update simplifies movement between different areas and reduces context switching.
Key navigation enhancements:
- Persistent access to:
- Pipeline Runs
- Lineage
- Agent configuration
- Instances
- Custom connectors
- Data Loader
- Help & Support
- User and account settings always visible
- Unified structure in all areas of the platform
This redesign enables you to move more efficiently through the platform and find the information and features you need without disruption.
Designer: Clean, fast, flexible pipeline creation
Designer has been re-engineered for performance and usability. Load times have been significantly reduced, and the visual layout has been streamlined to maximize canvas space.
Key Designer experience enhancements:
- Faster navigation and reduced latency across the interface
- Expanded, uncluttered canvas to focus on pipeline design
- Floating Files and Schemas panel for workspace flexibility:
- Can be docked or float anywhere on the canvas
- Fully resizable
- Remembers user positioning across sessions
- Optional quick access to:
- Variables
- Copilot
- Files and schemas
This new layout helps you to maintain momentum when building pipelines, and spend less time adjusting view settings or toggling panels.
User interface: Optimized usability, refined visual layout
The user interface has been refined to give you more control and visibility into your data workflows. Adding the new floating panel and removing redundant UI elements has freed up screen real estate and reduced visual noise.
Key UI and usability enhancements:
- Improved Sample data view with expanded tables
- Reduced interface clutter
- Smarter prioritization of on-screen components
