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

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.

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.
Setting up Workspaces in Coalesce just got easier. Our new Workspace onboarding guides you through the processes step-by-step reducing configuration time. Workspace onboarding makes it easier to set up version control, authentication, and Storage Locations/Mappings. This means less setup time and more focus on building pipelines.
Updates
Our Hash editor automatically displays all columns with proper scrolling functionality.
Problem Scanner can detect and alert on duplicate Node names and Storage Mappings, making it easier to find potential problems.
We've made several improvements to enhance platform speed and reliability. These changes are part of our ongoing commitment to deliver the best possible experience for our users.
Bug Fixes
Source filters now correctly populates and displays all available results.
Fixed an issue where, “A write batch can no longer be used after commit() has been called.”, was returning when trying to checkout branches.
Node column details in the lower-left corner now consistently display when clicking Nodes.
Node Editor scrolls correctly when the “Node not enabled for deploy” banner is displayed.
You can now add a "Re-Sync Columns" button to custom Nodes. This feature allows users to sync columns that are not part of a source Node. Learn more in Custom Node Types.
We’ve released Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) on our platform, a powerful security feature designed to protect your accounts from unauthorized access. MFA adds an extra layer of security by requiring users to verify their identity through an authentication app. Learn how to enable MFA.
Performance Improvements
Performance improvement for Plan file generation during Deploys which has shown improvements of up to 5X or more.
Bug Fixes
Fixed an issue which caused unsupported data type changes to fail on first deployment, but succeed on subsequent deployments.
Fixed a bug which caused concurrent users causing the join text box to overwrite itself.
Improved performance of copy objects tool when copying objects between Workspaces.
Fixed a bug related to copying items from the Column Grid.
We’ve released our built in Scheduler. This enhancement introduces in-app scheduling capabilities for Coalesce jobs, eliminating the requirement for external scheduling tools for basic job orchestration.
We're excited to announce the release of Role-Based Access Control (RBAC). With RBAC, you can assign roles to users based on their responsibilities, ensuring they only have access to the data they need. This minimizes the risk of unauthorized access, streamlining user permissions while enhancing overall security.
