The following tables summarize the preview features that are currently available.

Item Description
Feature AppSheet apps for desktop users (Preview)

The new desktop design, currently in preview, is optimized for desktop browsers, presenting a more complete view of information with a consistent organization and structure. The new desktop design lets users navigate their apps more easily and access information in context, and provides an efficient way to edit existing records without losing context. The legacy desktop design, enabled by default, provides an experience similar to the mobile and tablet device.

Rollout changes

Item Description
Enhancement The URL hash in Desktop mode has been updated to represent the state of currently visible views in a new condensed format that supports preserving inline view state through shared links or page refresh (for example, sorting a table view within a dashboard by a particular column). Note that existing deep links and bookmarks of both mobile and prior desktop format will continue to work, but the URL bar will begin to reflect the new format. This enhancement is being rolled out gradually.

New: Deployed to 25% of users.
Previous: Deployed to 10% of users.

Bug Fixes an issue where app creators with only partial access to the app's sources would not be able to see any sources.

New: Deployed to all users.
Previous: Deployed to 100% of free users and 50% of paid users.

Bug For desktop UI, more aspects of inline views will be persisted after expanding them.

With this change, user modifications to an inline view (such as a dashboard entry or a table in a detail view) will be kept upon expanding the view on the desktop, as they would be on mobile.

For example, if a user toggles the column sort order of a table in a dashboard view and then expands that entry, the table rows will now stay in the same order. This also applies in the opposite direction: if the user makes further changes to the expanded table then collapses the view, those changes will still be seen upon returning to the dashboard view.

New: Deployed to all users.
Preview: Deployed to 100% of free users and 75% of premium users.

Rollbacks

These issues that were previously released have been rolled back. The team is working on longer-term fixes for these issues.

Item Description
Reverted change to multi-level drilldowns on desktop UI (preview) in May 2, 2024 release

Description: Multi-level drilldowns now support more flexible filtering options. Users may now select 'All' at any level of a multi-level drilldown to go to the next level without filtering the results by a grouping at the current level.

We heard from a number of users that this change was confusing, so for now we are taking it back to the drawing board. We hope to provide the functionality it allowed in a more understandable interface sometime in the future.

Rollout changes

Item Description
Enhancement Changes to format rule icons:
  • Icon rules that don't specify a highlight color will again inherit highlight color from other active rules (consistent with mobile behavior).
  • When a Ref column references a row whose Label column includes formatting, the Ref values will now include the Label's formatting when displayed in dropdown inputs (consistent with how they are displayed in other places).

New: Deployed to 100% of free users and 25% of paid users.
Previous: Deployed to 100% of free users and 10% of paid users.

Bug For desktop UI (preview), fixed a bug where Ref drop-down values could appear blank if the referenced row has no Label. It now shows the Ref's own value (referenced row key value) as currently happens in other places.

New: Deployed to 100% of free users and 10% of paid users.
Previous: Deployed to 100% of free users.

Bug Fixed a bug that could cause columns using a list validation expression to be unexpectedly cleared when the existing value is invalid and a column dependency changed. This behavior of automatically clearing invalid values was meant to apply to "dependent drop-downs" where the valid options of a drop-down are influenced by the value of a previous column. It was being incorrectly applied too broadly, including cases where some other expression on the drop-down column (not the validation expression) is influenced by the changed column. It will now only be applied when the validation expression depends on the changed column.

New: Deployed to all users.
Previous: Deployed to 100% of free users and 75% of paid users.

Bug Fixes an issue where app creators with only partial access to the app's sources would not be able to see any sources.

New: Deployed to 100% of free users and 50% of paid users.

Enhancement

AppSheet organizations are available to all eligible customers, including organization-level policies and support for non-Google authenticated users. See the Community announcement.

What's changing?

For customers that already have an AppSheet organization today, you may see a new domain-based team with users from your domains that authenticate to AppSheet using a non-Google identity provider. Please keep in mind that if you have multiple secondary domains, you may see more than one additional team.

For new and existing customers with AppSheet Organizations, any user from your verified primary or secondary domains that does not authenticate through Google will be shown in your domain-based teams alongside any group-based teams that have been created.

These users will be subject to the same policies and team settings that apply to your users that authenticate through Google.

Bug Fixed a bug that could cause columns using a list validation expression to be unexpectedly cleared when the existing value is invalid and a column dependency changed. This behavior of automatically clearing invalid values was meant to apply to "dependent dropdowns" where the valid options of a dropdown are influenced by the value of a previous column. It was being incorrectly applied too broadly, including cases where some other expression on the dropdown column (not the validation expression) is influenced by the changed column. It will now only be applied when the validation expression depends on the changed column.
