2026.08.0
Release date: August 5, 2026
This release is about the layer underneath your dashboards. SharePoint reaches general availability with full lineage, ownership, and sprawl monitoring; BI360 gains a Data tab that shows where your data actually comes from, how reliably it refreshes, and who is creating it; and the Datalogz MCP server enters preview, opening your governance metadata to AI agents.
This release helps your teams to:
Govern SharePoint content in production the same way they govern BI, with lineage, ownership, and sprawl monitoring included
See their data sources, refresh reliability, and content creators in one place in BI360
Query their analytics estate from an AI agent through the MCP server, now in preview
What's New
SharePoint: now generally available
SharePoint moves out of early access and into general availability. Content is inventoried, monitored, traced, and clickable, on the same footing as your BI connectors.
Clickable source URLs on every inventory asset tab, so you can jump from an asset to the live document
Lineage on the asset side panel, with parentage shown as "Belongs to" so you can see where a document sits in its site and library structure
Sprawl monitors for ownerless content and for stale or empty content, with a dedicated SharePoint tab in the Monitor Catalog
Full library crawling: every document library on a site is now crawled, not just the default "Documents" library
Result: SharePoint sprawl gets the same ownership and staleness treatment as the rest of your estate, across all of your content, not a fraction of it.
MCP server: now in preview
The Datalogz MCP server is available in preview, letting AI agents and assistants query your governance metadata directly.
Ask about inventory, ownership, lineage, usage, and alerts in natural language from any MCP-compatible client
Queries run against generated dbt models, so answers stay consistent with what you see in the product
Result: Your governance data becomes something your team's AI tooling can reason over, not just something they read in a dashboard.
Bring your own Tableau Connected App
Tableau authentication now supports a user-supplied, pre-created Connected App alongside the existing setup flow.
Provide your own Connected App credentials during connector setup
Useful where security policy requires the app to be created and reviewed inside your own tenant
Result: Tableau connects on your organization's terms, without a policy exception.
Enhancements
Clearer alerts
Alert stat cards now respect the filters applied to the table beneath them, so the numbers match what you are looking at
Alert scoping is unified across View by Alerts and View by Assets and the same filters produce the same population in both views
Long-refresh monitors only flag a duration when the refresh is still scheduled, removing noise from retired content
Customer-facing monitor descriptions have been cleaned up for clarity
Platform Stability & Performance
Inventory Summary refreshes no longer deadlock. Large environments that previously saw 10+ hour refreshes now complete normally
MCP now queries through generated dbt models rather than hand-written SQL, making its results consistent with the rest of the platform and simpler to extend
Bug Fixes
Spotfire: asset views now return one row per GUID, unbreaking the inventory grid
Spotfire: source lineage is captured, and all owners are retained rather than only the first
Qlik: the Team and Inventory Summary tab is hidden for Qlik teams, fixing an empty-users redirect
SAML SSO: sign-in now succeeds with identity providers that send empty attributes
Sign-in: plus-addressed email addresses are accepted
Similarity: credential refresh works again after a regression introduced in a prior hotfix
