New BigQuery UI, Simo Ahava collaboration, engaged session definition, public weather & GA data
Hi there,
Hope you're well.
Did you already enjoy the new BigQuery user interface?
Some of the best features:
- work simultaneously in multiple tabs
- improved auto complete function
- command palette (hit F1 to see!)
I guess I'll be spending my lockdown nights uploading new UI screenshots for GA4BigQuery...
