We've resolved an issue in the deployment process that caused some operations to experience poor performance.

Power Your Documentation With AI

We’re excited to launch our Intelligent Documentation Assistant – a smarter, faster way to document your data workflows.

Maintaining clear and consistent documentation across pipelines is always a challenge. Coalesce makes it effortless by automatically generating natural language descriptions from your lineage and transformation metadata to create:

Node & Column Descriptions: Auto-generated, easy-to-understand explanations of column transformations, logic, and business context — no more manual notes or guesswork.
AI-Generated Git Commit Messages: Helpful, context-aware commit messages to keep your Git history clean, descriptive, and useful.

Benefits

How It Helps:

• Reduce Documentation Overhead: Free up time for development while Coalesce handles the docs.

• Maintain Consistency: Ensure standardized documentation across all data projects, teams, and environments.

• Improve Stakeholder Clarity: Make it easier for business users and analysts to understand transformation logic.

• Accelerate Onboarding: Help new team members ramp up faster with auto-generated, clean documentation.

How to Opt-In

AI Features not enabled by default in Coalesce. Organization admins can opt-in to the AI Documentation Assistant by going to Org Settings > Preferences and toggling AI Features.

Node and Column Test Failures

These features are currently in Private Preview. Please reach out to your Coalesce account manager to sign up.

We’ve introduced a new feature that lets you know when a Node or Column Test has failed during a refresh.

On the Deploy page, statuses are now color coded for easy review.

• Green - It was successful with no errors.

• Yellow - The Refresh was successful, but had Column or Node test failures.

• Red - The Deploy or Refresh failed.

Take a look at Troubleshooting Deploys and Refreshes.

Updates

• You can now use OAuth to run concurrent jobs using the Snowflake Tasks API.

• You can now type to search within all dropdown filter menus on the Deploy page, making it faster and easier to find the option you’re looking for.

Bug Fixes

• Previously credential errors and mismatches would return a 500 for the`startRun` endpoint.`startRun` now returns either a400 or 401.

• We fixed an issue where an invalid project ID would make the application unresponsive.

• [Object Object] no longer appears in the hash column.

Version 7.16.1

• Column Lineage now renders correctly.

• Fixed an issue where createdAt and updatedAt fields in and older version of packages caused deployment failures.

• Fixed issue where changes made to Nodes would not appear in Deploy and Refresh operations.

Deprecated node metadata changes were completed with the release of 7.15.

• March 3, 2025 - Deprecated Node Metadata Changes

• Minor internal bugfix to support user onboarding.

In our ongoing efforts to enhance performance and maintainability, we're removing some legacy metadata fields that are no longer needed.

This process is happening in two stages:

• Release 7.14 - Already completed ✅

• Release 7.15 - Coming soonCompleted on March 18, 2025 ✅.

What this means for you:

• No workflows will be disrupted.

• No data will be affected.

When doing a commit, you might see changes for Nodes that you haven’t modified. This is expected when deprecated metadata is removed. You will need to:

1. Making a commit with the changes.

2. Continue on with your workflow.

Example of a commit with metadata changes

Deprecated Properties Removed:

Deprecated fields in 7.15 will affect all Source Node Types regardless of age or activity status. These fields may still appear in our API, but are no longer used in the Node metadata.

• dataset

• table

• metadata.join

• metadata.sourceMapping - already absent from most sources

See our previous changelog post about the changes in 7.14.

AI-Generated Documentation: Automatic Descriptions for Nodes, Columns, and Git Commit Messages

These features are currently in Private Preview. Please reach out to your Coalesce account manager to sign up.

Coalesce is introducing AI-generated descriptions for Node, Columns, and Git Commit messages.

By analyzing your data pipelines lineage and transformation metadata, it creates natural language descriptions. AI-generated descriptions streamlines documentation by creating clear explanations of data transformations and Git commits. Now you can focus on development while making sure your data pipelines are well documented.

Organization admins can opt-in by going to Organization Settings > Preferences and toggling AI Features.

Updates

• Run results, Column Headers now support numeric names, ensuring your data displays accurately.

• We've temporarily rolled back Workspace Onboarding based on valuable customer feedback. This change was made to ensure the best customer experience possible. We're working on improvements to deliver a refined version in the future. Sign up for our changelog email to keep to date.

Bug Fixes

• We fixed an issue where, when switching tabs in multi-source Nodes the incorrect join string was saved.
