# Release Notes - July 2025
Staying safe out there in the monsoon? Whether you're cozied up with a warm drink or dodging puddles, we’ve got updates to brighten your experience on Hivel.
***
### 💡 A more intuitive way to see your metrics
We’ve given Dashboards a fresh boost - with more ways to group, view, and understand your data.
**📊 Grouping Made Simpler**
* **Release Cycles**: Group data by release cycles that *started* within your selected date range.
* **None**: View data without any time grouping - ideal for cross-period insights (Daily / Weekly / Monthly / Quarterly / Release Cycles).
**📈 Chart Options**
* Choose from **Bar**, **Line**, or **Area** charts to match your data storytelling style.
**🧩 Smarter Toggles for Deeper Control**
* **Teams Toggle**: Break down graphs by individual teams.
* **Aggregate Toggle**: View the big picture with combined team data.
These upgrades mean less digging and more clarity. [*Try it out!*](https://app.hivel.ai/overview/cycle-time)

### 🌐 Cascade Team Selection
You asked for more flexibility in team selections - we delivered!
**Cascade Toggle Behavior:**
* **ON (default)**: Select all sub-teams under a parent, and the parent gets auto-selected too.
* **OFF**: Only the teams you explicitly pick (parent or sub) are included.
This gives you tighter control over how your data is sliced and diced across team structures.

### 🛠️ A Fresh look for Integrations & Configurations
The Integrations and Configuration pages have been fully revamped.
You’ll find:
* All key settings and details in one place
* A cleaner experience for faster, smoother setups
This makes it easier to plug in and configure exactly how you need - no confusion, no fuss.
