Predict dynamic table refresh behavior with EXPLAIN CHANGES (General availability)
You can now use EXPLAIN CHANGES to predict a dynamic table's refresh behavior before it happens, either for a manual refresh or as part of a DDL change, without applying the change.
Horizon Catalog Explorer UI (Preview)
With this release, the Horizon Catalog Explorer is the default experience for browsing Snowflake objects in Snowsight, replacing Database Explorer. The Horizon Catalog Explorer provides consistent navigation and object detail pages while preserving the tabs and actions that you already use.
Embedding Streamlit in Snowflake apps in external pages (General availability)
Embedding Streamlit in Snowflake apps in external pages is now generally available. You can render a container-runtime app inside a page you host, such as a customer portal or an internal dashboard, using a single tag.
Elastic Channels for Snowpipe Streaming (General availability)
Elastic Channels for Snowpipe Streaming are now generally available. Elastic Channels provide one implicit, server-scaled ingestion path per pipe, so concurrent producers can stream directly to Snowflake tables and supported Snowflake-managed Iceberg tables without managing channel names, lifecycle, ordering, or offset tokens.
Webhook-triggered deployments for Databricks Apps will soon be generally available
Starting in October 2026, webhook-triggered deployments for Databricks Apps will be generally available. Automatically deploy your app when changes are pushed to a connected GitHub or Azure DevOps repository, so your deployed app stays in sync with your repository without manual redeployment. See Deploy a Databricks app .
Sharing foreign Delta tables with OpenSharing is now generally available
Sharing and reading foreign Delta tables with OpenSharing is now generally available. Providers can share Delta-format tables federated from OneLake, a Hive metastore, or AWS Glue, without copying data into Databricks. See Add foreign Delta tables to a share .
