What's new: RBAC behavior changes with Grafana 13
Grafana 13 tightens RBAC enforcement for custom roles, Terraform-managed roles, and role provisioning. Most users aren’t affected. If you maintain custom RBAC roles, especially roles with data source permissions scoped to specific UIDs, or roles using legacy annotation scopes, review your role definitions now to prevent errors.

When something spikes, you get the connected trace, log, or error to find out why

Series visibility through time series legends
When a time series panel renders a long list of series, finding the ones you care about often means editing the query or scanning a crowded legend. The new Series visibility filter in the time series visualization lets you narrow visible series interactively, by name, by label, or both, without touching the underlying query.

The table visualization’s nested rows feature has gotten some significant upgrades: a redesigned editor for the Group to nested tables transformation and the ability to apply field overrides to fields inside nested sub-tables.
Time series to table transformation is now generally available
The Time series to table transformation is now generally available. Convert time series query results into table rows containing a trend field, then display them as sparklines with the sparkline cell type, useful for building compact at-a-glance overviews across many series. This transformation has been available and enabled by default since Grafana 10.2.
