2024-04-11

Temporarily disabling of updating Atlas indices

Browser Data Upload Improvements, access to points, new URLs

  • Browser Data Upload: Columns are now editable, patched several case bugs involving duplicate names, etc.
  • It's now easier to isolate a single point on the map--just click and you'll get immediate access to the most important information about your point, with the full information available on the left. There's also a handy way to add it to the current selection--watch here for more operations on individual items in your dataset!
  • Atlas uses slugs instead of UUIDs even for maps--the default place to view your dataset map is now at https://atlas.nomic.ai/my_org/my_project/map. If you've built multiple maps, they're still accessed by UUID: but most users share just the most recent map they have, and this makes it easier to understand your links and work with them from the python client.
