# Product Updates - April 14, 2025

## **Overview of Changes**

|  | **Notes** |
| --- | --- |
| Factory BUILD | **New Features & Improvements** - **Restrict Pausing/Resuming of Shared Deployed Pipelines** - Production-shared pipelines can no longer be paused from non-production workspaces, preventing users from accidentally pausing them and negatively impacting production - **Remove Shared Pipeline Reference** - Users can now remove the reference to a shared deployed pipeline, offering more control and flexibility to edit pipelines in development workspaces. - **Archived Workspaces Optimization** - Archived workspaces are now split into a separate API call, improving the load time of active workspaces in the Workspace Manager. - **Reduce Operator Removed from UI** - The Reduce operator has been removed from the Operator Library UI because it does not perform well in Multiplayer environments. - This is the first step toward its eventual deprecation. - Existing pipelines using Reduce will continue to function, and users can still manually define it in JSON mode. **Bug Fixes** - **Improved Pipeline Garbage Collection** - Added retry logic and a scheduled cleanup job to ensure orphaned pipelines are properly removed when no longer referenced by a workspace. - **RTF Display Name** - Improved error message for cases where the Runtime Field display name is left empty. - **Manage Extensions UI** - Fixed misalignment issues with breadcrumbs on the Manage Extensions page. - **Preview Actions Fixes** - Resolved issues with the “Download with Filters” and “Open in New Tab” buttons in the Preview interface. |
| Factory ANALYZE | **Bug Fixes** - Resolved recently introduced issue where the Data Visualization application was returning data for Calendar Day time ranges instead of Production Day. |
| Factory APP BUILDER | **App Builder – Initial Release** - We’re excited to announce the launch of **Factory App Builder**, a powerful new tool within the Sight Machine platform that empowers teams to build custom data science and machine learning applications—without leaving their data foundation. It is now available on a trial basis. **New Features & Improvements** **Use Cases** - **Intuitive Application Creation Experience** Easily create data apps with drag-and-drop components and logical flows. - **Pre-Built Templates** Jumpstart development with reusable components like charts, filters, and tables. - **Integrated Data Access** Seamlessly tap into your existing Sight Machine data without manual connections. - **Dynamic Previews & Live Mode** Preview your app instantly and toggle between development and live environments. - Exploratory data analysis dashboards - Machine learning model visualizations - Custom quality and performance tracking tools - Domain-specific decision-support apps |
