(Note: You can have up to two segments in this visualization.)🔓 Access this feature in any event segmentation chart.⭐️ Availability: This update is available to all customers. Enjoy new Funnel UX updatesGood news! This month we added a slew of highly requested updates to our funnel charts. Previously, Amplitude only offered a funnel chart showing the percentage of converted users. With this latest update, we've added a toggle that can display either the raw counts or the percent of converted users in a conversion over time funnel chart. This update makes it easier to gain conclusions from raw counts of data.In addition, we now display the conversion rate percentage value right next to the raw number on bars. This makes the percentage conversion data easier to read in charts and dashboards without having to hover over the bars. 🔓 Access this feature in any Funnel chart.⭐️ Availability: This update is available to all customers.  New Session Replay releasesReconstruct digital experiences to see how your customers unlock value. Use Session Replay combined with best-in-class analytics to make better decisions that drive growth. Drill deeper into Session replays with event explorationWe're adding new improvements to Session Replay that make it easier to explore your events. These updates allow users to search for events in the session replay event stream and watch replays in the exact moment that the event takes place.Additionally, while watching a session replay, users may want to see the details and properties of the events that are firing. Previously, you’d have to go to the user timeline and find the event again, but now users can view it directly.🔓 Access this feature via individual session replays, where there is now a search box in the event stream and the ability to expand an event. Increased data retention for Session ReplaySession Replay now supports 6, 9 and 12-month retention. This is ideal for customers that need to adhere to specific data privacy requirements for their users.⭐️ Availability: Retention options are available to customers on our Growth and Enterprise plans. New Data releasesGet trusted data to power insight about your product. Amplitude helps you proactively manage and govern your data.Block events by property valueYou asked and we listened – block filters can now stop event ingestion based on event property values. This update offers more granular control to block events directly from the Amplitude UI. And while we already supported blocking entire events or events by IP or app version, users wanted more flexibility in blocking events based on the value(s) for multiple event properties. (For example, blocking all events with a particular "Source" and "Library" while continuing to ingest others.) This new update helps users address situations where they must quickly stop event ingestion, potentially due to incorrect or unneeded data. Learn more about blocking events by property value.🔓 Access this feature via Data -> Filters -> Block Filters -> Create Block Filter Enjoy new lookup properties capabilitiesAs of this month, lookup properties now allow customers to enrich their properties with additional properties and values, enabling new insights without any instrumentation changes. With this update, customers can now use an existing "product_id" property to add new properties for the product name, price, and other metadata. This can also be used to group property values together — for example, creating a new "region" property from a property containing a long list of individual store locations.Learn more about lookup tables.🔓 Access this feature via Data -> Properties -> Lookup⭐️ Availability: New SKUs: Growth and Enterprise customers; Legacy SKUs: Enterprise and Govern Add-On customers. Search catalog by keywordsThe Data integration catalog just got better!

Amplitude Experiment helps you test, analyze, and optimize your product experiences at scale.Cohort Support for Local evaluation enhancement is now generally availableWe have made huge improvements to cohort support for local evaluation. Prior to these updates, teams had some performance, reliability, and limited ways to leverage this powerful capability.Now, we offer this feature in more scenarios beyond evaluation proxy and with much higher performance. Since we now use pre-computed cohorts instead of relying on a single API and multiple caching layers, customers can get much higher performance and better reliability when using cohorts with local evaluation.   🔓 Access this feature via Experiment Local Evaluation.⭐️ Availability:  All Experiment customers Flag-level and Experiment-level Access Controls are now generally availableCustomers using Amplitude Experiment Enterprise now have much more control over every experiment and feature flag. Teams can now restrict edit access to specific users, ensuring the right team members have the appropriate access for their roles.  🔓 Access this feature via Experiment Menu > Manage Access.⭐️ Availability:  Experiment Enterprise customers  You’re all caught up!

No more design or implementation errors, just increased time to value for every team running experiments. Edit experiment Flag KeysIn the past, Experiment users were often blocked from starting new tests because they needed help from engineering teams to define the flag key. This obstacle further slowed down testing progress as the flag keys were not editable after they were created.Now, that all changes with our editable flag key! Users can now alter flag keys until they become an active flag or experiment. This provides new flexibility to start designing before engineering has to get involved. Note: any flag or experiment created before this update will not have editable keys.   You’re all caught up!

Default Event Tracking as part of our Browser SDK 2.0

Hi customers! Today we’re excited to announce our Browser SDK 2.0 update, which includes Default Event Tracking. What is Default Event Tracking (DET)? Default Event Tracking logs generic and common events when setting up applicable SDKs, accelerating your time to insights. We’ll be updating our Browser SDK to automatically instrument and track a predefined set of events.Here are the default events and event properties:  Page Viewed Page Domain Page Location Page Path Page Title Page URL Form Started Form ID Form Name Form Destination Form Submitted Form ID Form Name Form Destination File Downloaded File Extension File Name Link ID Link Text Link URL Start Session End SessionWhat does this mean for you? Default event tracking provides customers significant value since it removes some of the burden to instrument and define every event. But, default event tracking does apply to your event volume. For new customers, if you choose the Browser SDK, you’ll be instructed to download the new version with Default Event Tracking during onboarding. For existing customers, you’ll get notified to upgrade to the latest version of the SDK and need to manually turn Default Event Tracking off if you prefer to not track these events automatically.How can I turn off or block the events from Default Event Tracking? You can choose which DET events you want to turn off or on within the init code snippet. Please take a look at this doc for the snippet. You can also block or delete these events in our Data product. Deleted events will not show up in your analyses.Please look here in our Dev Docs for more details. Thank you!

A side-by-side view with controls on the left and chart on the right enables instantaneous feedback on how changes impact the chart, helping you better explore your data. New Responsive Layout means users can click and drag the controls wider to have more space, and at a certain point, the segment card “snaps” to the top of the controls in a format that is similar to our older layout. This gives the user more vertical real estate to build out many events+filters or lengthy segments. Improved drop-down experience removes the guesswork from chart creation by adding new descriptions, categories, and metadata to the drop-down selector. The new experience will be available to preview starting in April for the following charts: Event Segmentation Funnels Pathfinder Data Tables Retention User Composition Sessions Users with new side controls can access these features by opting into the early beta preview.

This assumes the treatment effect is the same for all individuals, which isn’t always true in practice.CUPED addresses this limitation by estimating the treatment effect separately for each individual and then aggregating the individual estimates to get an overall assessment of the treatment effect.Access this feature by toggling CUPED ‘On’ in the Statistical Settings section of the Analyze tab. Learn more about CUPED availability. Follow experimentation best practices with Data Quality ChecklistFeel more confident setting up and running your tests–especially as you scale. With our new Data Quality Checklist, Experiment runs a series of automated data quality checks to uncover potential issues that could skew your results.
