# Platform Release 266 - November 2023

Release 266 brings multi-series box plots to Analytics and many UI updates that improve navigation and accessibility.

Let us know your thoughts and questions in the [Tulip Community](https://community.tulip.co/t/release-266-discussion-thread-november-2023/9840)!

## Multi-Series Box Plots with the Universal Template

Using the Universal Template in Analytics, users can visualize data as a box plot, which is useful for understanding the distribution of your data and any outliers. You can now also display multiple series as box plots in one chart to compare the two data sets in one view.

## Update to Automations Beta

In Automations, users will notice that "Is Blank" and "Is Not Blank" conditions have been removed as options for static value inputs to prevent publishing issues.

## UI Improvements

**Search Bar Location** On the Tables, Stations, and Vision Camera Configurations pages, users will notice the search bar has been moved to the left, below the page header, to be consistent with the rest of the platform. Vision Camera Configurations can also now be sorted by name.

*After* ![screely-1700065567895.png](https://cdn.document360.io/7c6ff534-cad3-4fc8-9583-912c4016362f/Images/Documentation/screely-1700065567895.png)

**Tool Tip Read-out** When using keyboard navigation in Tulip, if Mac Voice Over is enabled, Tool Tips can now be converted to audio.

**Locked Machine Type** Users are no longer able to change machine types for an existing machine. This will prevent unintended machine type changes that will require a user to remap the machine attributes.

## Bug Fix Highlights

Release 266 contains multiple bug fixes that we want to highlight because they were reported by users:

- Fixed an issue causing Machine State Analyses to display incorrectly in SingleNumber Charts
- Fixed an issue preventing upload of .nc files
- Fixed an issue causing the input of "%" to a connector function to throw an error
- Fixed an issue causing apps to slow or freeze in the Player
- Fixed an issue that required the search bar in player app selection to be manually cleared with the X inside of the search bar
- References to the user table can now be preserved when exporting applications that only reference users in trigger conditions
