2025 Week 11 | Sigma: Can you use a legend?

Introduction

Welcome to week 11! This week, Sigma’s hosting it’s Data Apps Conference which will feature a ton of valuable information coming straight from Sigma’s team and community experts. The conference is Thursday, March 13, 2025 9:30am PT / 12:30pm ET

Even on conference week, Sigma is still pushing out excellent new features. Our challenge this week focuses on the new Legend controls, which allow you to pop out your legends (hello Tableau) and edit colors across multiple visualizations from one place. I’m excited abot this one, so let’s get to it!
