# April 26 Release (v21) Wave Embedded v21 is here, and it is all about working smarter, not harder. This release delivers powerful enhancements and squashes bugs, all driven by one goal: making your everyday experience faster, smoother, and more intuitive. Whether you are updating records in bulk, publishing grids, filtering data, or simply navigating your workspace, v21 makes every interaction feel more natural. Read on to see everything that is new. *Version 21 also includes updates from v21.1, v21.2 and v21.3.* *** ## New Enhancements ✨ ### Enhanced Filter Collection & Limit [Filter Collections](/valorx-wave/wave-data-management/managing-grid-data/filter.md#filter-collection) now support richer admin controls and smarter runtime switching behavior, giving administrators fine-grained control over how filters are presented to end users. **Switch Filter Collection Button logic**: * Appears when Allow editing is **checked** AND **more than one Filter Collection exists**. * Primary action opens/applies filters; secondary dropdown lists available Filter Collections. * In read-only mode a switch icon/dropdown replaces the split button when multiple collections exist.

Switch Filter Collection button logic

**Switch Filter Collection details**: * Selecting a collection **applies filters instantly** and refreshes the grid — no Save/Apply required. * A **search bar appears** in the collection picker only when **more than 5 collections** are available. * Tooltips ("Switch Filter Collection") appear on the caret in split-button mode, or on the switch icon in read-only mode.
**Limit:** * A new limit of 20 Filter Collections per grid has been introduced, encouraging well-organized filter management and keeping the picker performant and easy to navigate. ### Color Palette for Greater Visual Control We have expanded the color palette to a full spectrum, giving you far more freedom to visually organize and highlight your data, inspired by the rich color experience of Excel. **The expanded palette is now available across:** * [Column Group](/valorx-wave/wave-data-management/managing-grid-data/column-group.md)

### Smarter, More Powerful Lookup Experience We have upgraded the [Lookup](/valorx-wave/wave-data-management/data-control-and-customization.md#lookup) dialog with three meaningful improvements that reduce clicks, improve search accuracy, and remember your preferences across sessions. **What is new:** * **Expand by Default & Session Persistence**\ Set your preferred lookup view once either **expanded or compact**, and it stays that way. Your selection is remembered per lookup object across all grids, so there’s no need to adjust it every time. * **Cross-column search** - search across all displayed columns at once. Looking for a product? Type part of the product code or the product name and the lookup finds it either way.

Powerful Lookup

Together, these improvements make the lookup experience feel less like a search task and more like a seamless part of your workflow. ### Row-Level Selection for Mass Modifier Users can now select one or more rows to apply [Mass Modifier](/valorx-wave/wave-data-management/managing-grid-data/mass-modifier.md) updates, removing the need to manually select individual columns or adjust the grid layout. **How it works** * Select rows using the row number * Open [Mass Modifier](/valorx-wave/wave-data-management/managing-grid-data/mass-modifier.md) to apply updates across the selected rows * Changes are applied to applicable editable fields in a single action This is a major time-saver for teams who regularly update large datasets or work with grids that have many non-adjacent fields.
### Flexible Footer Totals Configuration A new [**Aggregation Footer**](/valorx-wave/wave-data-management/data-insights-and-summary.md#footer-row) checkbox in [Field Configuration](/valorx-wave/wave-experience/create-a-new-grid/grid-wizard-in-salesforce.md#field-configuration) lets Admins and Designers decide, column by column, whether a numeric field should display its aggregated value in the grid footer. It is a simple change that makes grids much cleaner and more focused. **What you need to know:** * Works for number, currency, and numeric formula * Checked by default for all new grids, so nothing changes unless you want it * Check it on to show the column sum in the footer, or off to hide it * The new checkbox sits between Hidden and Read Only in the [Field Configuration](/valorx-wave/wave-experience/create-a-new-grid/grid-wizard-in-salesforce.md#field-configuration) * Users can still change the aggregation type such as sum or average at runtime with no admin step needed.

Aggregation Footer

Backward compatibility is fully maintained. All grids created before this release will have the Total toggle enabled automatically, so your existing layouts remain unchanged. ### Streamlined Grid & Matrix Publishing Experience We have redesigned the [publishing experience](https://docs.valorx.com/valorx-wave/release-notes/wave-embedded/pages/fm4j3cA2o5DevaNZvP0i#id-5.-publish-instruction) with a cleaner overlay, smarter status indicators, and built-in step-by-step instructions so you always know exactly where your grid is published and how to publish it. Key changes in this release: * **New status badge** - a clear Published or Not Published badge now appears in the grid info bar, so you can see publish status at a glance without digging into settings. * **Publish Instructions tab** - a brand-new tab inside the publish overlay walks you through how to embed your grid on an App Page, Record Page, or Home Page in Salesforce. * **Smarter overlay behavior** - for published grids, clicking Publish opens on the Locations tab. For unpublished grids, clicking Ready to Publish takes you straight to Instructions. One icon, always the right starting point. * **Cleaner UI** - the Description column has been removed from Published Locations, reducing clutter and keeping the focus on what matters. * **Matrix support** - the same publishing experience applies to Matrix with all labels correctly adapted.

Publish Location

The dashboard publish experience has also been updated to match the Surf the Wave implementation, bringing consistency across your entire publishing workflow. ### Picklist Selection with Built-in Search We have added a search bar to picklist dropdowns across Wave Embedded, so you can type to filter and find the value you need instantly. No more scrolling through endless lists to find a single option. Search is now available in these dropdowns: * [**Mass Modifier**](/valorx-wave/wave-data-management/managing-grid-data/mass-modifier.md) — Value and date literal dropdowns (Filters) * [**Filter**](/valorx-wave/wave-data-management/managing-grid-data/filter.md) **conditions** and **date literal dropdowns** * **Header filters** — Condition and date literal dropdown * [**Column Grouping**](/valorx-wave/wave-data-management/managing-grid-data/column-group.md) — Group By dropdown * **New Grid creation** — Salesforce view selector * **Grid runtime** — Picklist field selection when editing records * **Settings** — Feedback topic dropdown * **Dynamic Measures** and **Data Config (Matrix)**

Picklist with Built-in Search

This change makes Wave Embedded feel much more responsive, especially for teams working with large Salesforce orgs and long picklist value lists. *** ## Bug Fixes :bug: We’ve resolved multiple issues to improve stability, permissions handling, and overall grid and matrix performance. * **X-Axis Date Header Overflow in Matrix**\ Fixed an issue where matrix X-axis dates extended beyond the record end date.
