What's New page

Important  This feature is available only in the latest UI.

As an administrator, you can stay up to date with what is new in Collibra. The What's New page provides a curated, narrative-driven overview of some major updates and their benefits directly within the user interface. It ensures that you remain informed about new capabilities as soon as they are released, so you don't need to leave Collibra Platform or look for information elsewhere. The page also includes links to supporting resources for more guidance.

Currently, the What's New page is visible only to users with the System administration global permission.

Key benefits

  • Integrated experience: Curated list of updates are shown directly within the Collibra user interface, so you don't need to search other resources.
  • Narrative-driven updates: Updates are presented as narratives that highlight the practical benefit of the changes.
  • Gateway to deeper learning: Each update includes links to supporting resources, such as Collibra documentation, Collibra University courses, and Collibra Community discussions, to deepen your learning.
  • Flexible navigation: Filters on the page help you find specific content types or unread announcements.
  • Long-term visibility: Updates remain available for about 6–9 months, even after an upgrade, giving you enough time to read them.

What's New versus Release Notes

While release notes provide a comprehensive list of every new feature, enhancement, and fixed issue, the What's New page highlights some of the most impactful updates. It focuses on how key updates work together to improve your workflows, and provides specific resources to adopt them quickly.
