Enjoy new updates to Session Replay
Session Replay just keeps getting better! The latest updates help users set up and going faster with Session Replay.
- Updated SDK: The latest version of our SDK improves the consistency of synchronizing state between Browser SDK and the Session Replay plugin. This update also eliminates the need for Session Start/End events while using the Session Replay plugin, and offers a debug mode to help with debugging local development.
- Persisted filtering: In March we also introduced persisted filtering to the Session Replay search page. This update means all time ranges and other filters will now reflect in the URL, making it easy for users to share their filtered Session Replay searches with others. No more guesswork, just easy-to-use links with persisted filtering search parameters.
🔓Access this feature from the Session Replay search page or Session Replay Developer Docs
⭐️ Availability: This feature is available to all customers with access to Session Replay

New Data releases

Snowflake Change Data Capture
Snowflake users rejoice! We’ve excited to share with you a simple, reliable and cost-effective import strategy to sync Snowflake data into Amplitude. Change Data Capture is the new data warehouse import methodology that tracks exact changes made to tables within tables in the data warehouse. This will continue to ensure parity with your organization’s source of truth in the data warehouse. Learn how to import your data in Snowflake here.
🔓Access this feature when you set up Snowflake as a source in the Catalog.
Work faster with new and improved Property Dropdowns
This month, event and property dropdowns across Amplitude got a serious makeover and are now easier to use than ever before. UX Improvements include:
- Collapsible grouping: Properties are now grouped into collapsible sections, making them easier to browse. If you have several tests, look out for the section on experiment properties!
- Group type display: For users with multiple property types of the same name, Amplitude now displays the group type so each property type is distinguishable from the others.
- Improved search: Our search function now supports display and ingested names, making finding what you're looking for easier.
- One-click copy: You can copy selected property values with one click and paste them into another segment or filter, saving you time and clicks.
- Language updates: We've improved input and search for Chinese and Japanese characters.
⭐️ Availability: Users with typescript SDK 2.5.2 (or later) and default event tracking enabled
🔓 Access this feature wherever you can select Properties and Property Values in Amplitude.
Derived and Transformed Properties now supported within Computations, Recommendations, and Predictions
Previously when events were sent to Amplitude, the ingestion data could have three properties: user property, event property, and group property.
Now, Amplitude provides more ways to calculate additional properties after the ingestion. Specifically for user property and event property, users can now create derived properties and transformed properties.
All three features of CDP – including computations, predictions and recommendations – allow organizations to choose some user/event property to generate results, and use derived and transformed properties in their advanced personalization use cases.
⭐️ Availability: L2/Models/CDP Enterprise for Recommendations and Predictions, CDP Growth/Enterprise for Computations
(Note: Not available in EUDC.)
🔓Access this feature from the property menu, and then build a new Computation, Recommendation, or Prediction in the "Audience" area of Amplitude.
Find errors with Cohort sync visibility [Beta]
We are excited to announce some new tools to help customers investigate and diagnose cohort sync discrepancies in a self-serve manner. Amplitude now provides customers with:
- An upgraded cohort sync history page displaying skipped users
- The ability to inspect exported cohorts via CSV download export a CSV to down
- Proactive warnings for any changes to user identifier mapping that could affect existing cohort syncs
⭐️ Availability: This feature is available to any customers using cohort syncs.

Start using Cohorts with help from Amplitude
If you’ve struggled to get started with cohorts, this feature is for you. Within Amplitude, we’ve now added feature descriptions, call to actions, and embedded video demos so that you know exactly when and how to use cohorts within the platform.

Connect Wordpress to Amplitude with new Plugin [Beta]
Wordpress users, rejoice! The new Amplitude Wordpress plugin enables users to instantly instrument their site with an advanced version of Default Event Tracking (DET). Simply install our plugin, enter your account information, and select save. User interactions will be tracked within Amplitude for you to glean insights – no code required!
Learn more about using the beta version of the plugin here.
New Experiment releases
Drive faster action from crystal clear test results. Amplitude Experiment helps you test, analyze, and optimize your product experiences at scale.
Conduct Landing Page Analysis with Browser SDK Enhancements [Beta]
Move over, Google Analytics! Our latest Browser SDK feature enables landing page analysis for marketers and web analytics. More specifically, the ability to identify the first page view of a user session, and then use that to compare engagement and conversion rates with various landing pages.
⭐️ Availability: This feature is available via browser SDK 2.0
Include Individuals and Cohorts within Experimentation Groups
Ready to get even more granular with your testing? For users that are running an experiment using mutual exclusion or holdout groups, you now can easily include or exclude individuals or cohorts from those groups. Simply select the cohort or individual tab, and add the appropriate users or cohorts where you need them. This feature offers users more control and flexibility when testing, leading to even more powerful results and insights.
🔓Access this feature within Experiment Group settings
⭐️ Availability: This feature is available to Enterprise customers

Push flag configuration changes in real time with updated NodeJS SDK
Engineering teams listen up – you can now build kill switches in Amplitude! This powerful feature enables teams to push flag configuration changes as they happen rather than continuously polling for changes or waiting for up-to-date servers. This means you can instantly update your flag to stop or modify a flag or experiment.
Though this feature is only available for our NodeJS SDK today, we will be making this powerful capability available across all of our SDKs in the near future.
⭐️ Availability: This feature is available to all customers with the NodeJS SDK
🔓Access this feature by opting in to the 'streamUpdate' configuration
Choose granular time stamps in Experiment
Ready for maximum control over your timestamps? With our latest update, teams no longer have to worry about their analysis changing after a decision has been made. Lifecycle actions such as starting an experiment or making a decision will either default to the current timestamp or simply use the current timestamp behind the scenes.
These updates will show up across event segmentation, funnels, and experiment results charts.
🔓Enable and access this feature through the advanced settings dropdown in the calendar.
