Freeze columns π
If you've worked with a dataset that has 20+ columns, you know the horizontal scroll nightmare.
Now you can pin any column to the left so it stays visible while you scroll. right-click a column header, hit "Freeze column," done. Setting saves per dataset, so it's there next time you open it.
NEW: Sharepoint Excel Connection
Atlas can now connect to Excel and CSV files stored in OneDrive and SharePoint via Microsoft Graph. An in-app file picker lets you browse your drives, preview the data, detect geometry, and configure smart-sync merge settings. Files sync on schedule just like any other connection.

New workflow node in Atlas: Reverse Geocode π
Point it at a column of coordinates β it returns a readable address for every row.
Useful when you have:
β GPS tracks from field devices
β Form submissions with lat/long coordinates
β Imported datasets with coordinates but no address column
Add it to any workflow, connect it to your coordinates column, and get readable location names without leaving Atlas
Progress indicator β
A new popup element lets you display phase or status information directly on feature popups. Choose between two visual styles β badges or progress phases β to show where a feature stands in a workflow.
Navi now has access to US Census data β¨
Ask questions like "What's the median household income within 5 miles of this site?" or "Show me population density by county in Texas" β and get answers instantly.
This is what AI-powered GIS should look like: ask a question about a place, get the answer. The data is just there.
Filtering substations with AI β‘
With just one prompt, Navi β the AI agent for spatial data β filters all substations on the map. Just type what you need, and it shows up.
