April 26 Release (v49)
We're excited to bring Wave Browser Extension v49, one of our biggest updates yet! This release brings a powerful set of enhancements designed to make your grid experience faster, smarter, and more personalized than ever before.
Whether you're a standard user looking for more control over how you view and update your data, or a Designer and Admin looking for more flexibility in how you configure and manage grids, v49 has something meaningful for everyone.
Read on to explore everything that's new. 🎉
Version 49 also includes updates from v49.1.
IMPORTANT
If your Wave application is running version 49 or earlier, you must upgrade to Wave Browser Extension v49.1 or later. Otherwise, users may experience login issues when connecting to Salesforce. Example of the login error:
If the browser extension is not updated, users may see an authentication error similar to:
error=invalid_request&error_description=missing required code challenge
This error occurs because earlier versions of the Wave Browser Extension do not support the latest Salesforce authentication requirements.
Release Highlights 🎉
This update introduces the most impactful improvements in this release, designed to enhance how you work and get more value from the product.
Filter Collections - Save & Manage Your Filters
Managing multiple filter configurations is now easier with Filter Collections. Filter Collections let you save, rename, duplicate and switch between different filter configurations right within the grid. Create up to unlimited collections per grid, duplicate them, rename them, and switch between them in seconds.
Autosave keeps everything up to date in the background. And for grids with existing filters, they'll carry forward automatically as the "Default" collection.
This feature was first introduced in Wave Embedded v21. For full documentation, see Filter Collections →
Custom Grid Creation
Designers can now empower standard users to manage and share personalized grid views directly from a Global Grid (Main copy) without requiring designer intervention.
Standard users can create their own working copy from the globally shared grid, allowing them to tailor the grid to their needs while preserving the original configuration. These personal copies are saved in the user’s Grid Selection Dropdown and can be customized independently.
What's available in Wave Extension:
Each user can create up to 10 Custom Grids per Global Grid
Custom Grids are displayed under their parent Global Grid in the Grid Picker with quick actions for Share, Rename, Duplicate, and Delete
Users with sharing permission can share Custom Grids with other users directly
In Wave Extension, Custom Grid is configured at the global level and accessed under Manage Access.
This feature was first introduced in Wave Embedded v20. For full details including sharing rules and cascade deletion, see Custom Grid →
Color Palette for Greater Visual Control
The color palette has been expanded to a full spectrum across Wave Extension, giving users far more freedom to visually organize and highlight their data.
The expanded palette is now available across Column Group, Rules, and Color Bar.
This feature was first introduced in Wave Embedded v21. For full information, see Color Palette →
Grid Controls — Import, Export & Toolbar Visibility
You can now control whether users can import or export data directly from Grid Controls. Both are enabled by default, but unchecking them removes the buttons from the grid entirely, keeping the interface clean and focused.
Two new checkboxes also let you hide the Filters and Rules buttons from the runtime toolbar, ideal for grids where everything is pre-configured and you want users focused on the data rather than the settings.
This feature was first introduced in Wave Embedded v20. For full documentation, see Grid Controls →
Row-Level Selection for Mass Modifier
Users can now select one or more rows directly using the row number to apply Mass Modifier updates across all applicable editable fields in a single action — no need to manually select individual columns or adjust the grid layout.
This feature was first introduced in Wave Embedded. For more info, see Mass Modifier →
Flexible Footer Totals Configuration
A new Aggregation Footer checkbox in Field Configuration lets Admins and Designers control, column by column, whether a numeric field displays its aggregated value in the grid footer. In Wave Extension, this is configured exclusively through Field Configuration.
This feature was first introduced in Wave Embedded v21. For more info, see Aggregation Footer →
Extended Improvements from Wave Embedded v20 and v21 🎉
In addition to the new enhancements introduced in Wave Browser Extension v49, several key enhancements from Wave Embedded v20 and v21 has been extended to ensure a consistent and seamless experience across both platforms.
Wave Embedded v21 Enhancements
Wave Embedded v20 Enhancements

Wave Browser Extension v49.1 - Hotfix
This hotfix release focuses on authentication security improvements after Salesforce Summer'26 release and matrix configuration reliability.
What's Improved
PKCE Authentication Flow Replaced the Web Server Flow with the PKCE ("Pixy") flow for login, access token, and refresh token handling. Client Secret dependency has been fully removed, resulting in a more secure and streamlined authentication experience.
Matrix Wizard Save for Telescope Timeline Configurations Fixed an issue where saving changes in the Matrix wizard did not work for older matrices configured with a Telescope Timeline. Admin users can now successfully save updates to telescope timeline configurations without errors.
Thank you for your continued feedback. This hotfix delivers a more secure authentication flow and improved matrix configuration reliability in Wave Extension.
