Short form summary
Live Data Your published charts can now carry live Macrobond data. The publisher decides whether an asset opens with the latest data or with the figures as they stood at publication — and consumers can refresh to the latest at any time, with a "Data updated" timestamp showing exactly how current the numbers are.
Invite-based Account Creation Onboarding external readers just got far easier. Publishers and admins can invite external users straight into an asset or access list, and those invited readers set themselves up through a quick sign-up link — no need to pre-whitelist every individual.
Public Sharing Share Amplify content publicly, with clearer data-permission controls right where you publish — so the implications for any licensed series are clear at the point of publishing. Ideal for thought-leadership and marketing pieces, while your controlled distribution stays locked down. A feature flag keeps trial users inside the lines.
Interactivity: Time Series Variables More ways to make your charts interactive! Time Series variables (single-list variables) can now be exposed to consumers, letting them switch between options — Headline / Core / Core ex-shelter, say — right in the browser, on the same axes.
Improved Draft Refresh Charts in draft assets — and assets duplicated and opened as drafts — now refresh more reliably while you edit, so what's on screen reflects the latest source data. Handy when reworking last quarter's chartbook into this quarter's.
Point-in-Time Variables with "now" - Aware End Date Point-in-time variables can now take their end date from a value already in the document, so a chart's "as of" point stays aligned with the document it lives in — no manual adjustment needed.
Cleaner Single-Chart Slides When a slide holds just one chart, its framing now collapses to give the chart more room and cut the clutter. Multi-chart slides are unchanged.
Live Data in Published Assets — New!
Overview
Amplify assets can now carry live Macrobond data. When publishing, the producer decides how the data behaves for the consumer: the asset can open with the latest data, or it can open showing the figures as they stood at publication. In both cases the consumer sees a “Data updated” timestamp and can refresh to the latest figures at any time.
This gives producers control over the reading experience — anchoring a piece to the data behind its narrative where that matters, or leading with the most current figures where it doesn’t — while always giving the consumer a clear view of how current the data is and a one-click way to bring it fully up to date.
What This Enables
Publisher control over how data behaves. Producers decide at publishing whether an asset opens with the latest data or with the figures as published. The choice fits the piece: a point-in-time analysis can stay anchored to its original numbers, while an ongoing monitor can lead with current data.
A clear sense of recency for consumers. Every live-data asset shows a “Data updated” timestamp, so consumers always know how current the figures are — and can refresh to the latest data with a single click, without leaving the asset.
Less version chasing. Because the consumer can refresh in place, there’s no need to hunt for a newer version or wait for a re-issue to see where the data now stands.
Example
A strategist publishes a chart pack titled “Eurozone Macro Monitor” with charts covering inflation, unemployment, PMIs, and bond yields. For a piece tied to a specific moment — say, a reaction to the latest ECB decision — they can publish it to open with the figures as they stood that day, with readers still able to refresh to see how things have moved since. For an ongoing monitor, they can publish it to open with the latest data each time. In both cases a “Data updated” timestamp tells the reader exactly how current the figures are.
Getting Started
The data behaviour is chosen at publishing, alongside the asset’s other settings. Consumers need do nothing to benefit — the “Data updated” timestamp and refresh control appear automatically, and the viewing experience is the same whichever option the producer selects.
Invite-Based Amplify Account Creation — New!
Overview
Bringing external readers into Amplify used to require pre-creating an account for each consumer through Support. With this release, producers and administrators can invite external users into an asset or access list directly — and those users complete account creation themselves through a streamlined sign-up flow.
What This Enables
Self-service onboarding for external readers. Producers can send a link, and the recipient becomes a fully provisioned Amplify consumer through a short sign-up flow.
Scalable distribution to client lists. A sell-side analyst can include an Amplify link in a client mailer and let interested invited readers register via the link, rather than pre-whitelisting every individual.
Example
A research team at a buy-side firm wants to share a quarterly outlook with twelve external advisors. The publisher sends invitations from the access list. Each advisor receives an email with a sign-up link, completes a short registration, and immediately sees the asset in their Amplify Home.
Getting Started
The invite flow is accessed from the asset publishing process itself. Existing producers and administrators retain the same controls they have today; the new flow sits alongside them.
Public Sharing with Data-Permission Controls
Amplify sharing has been extended to support genuine public distribution, with clearer data-permission controls surfaced in the publishing interface. Producers selecting a public permission level see explicit indication of what that means for the underlying data — particularly important where licensed data series are involved — so the decision is informed at the point of publishing.
This makes Amplify usable for thought-leadership and marketing content where the audience is open, while preserving the strict permissioning that protects controlled distribution.
A feature flag is also available to prevent trial users from making content public or distributing externally — supporting safer rollout and tighter commercial control during trials.
Interactivity: Time Series Variables
Interactivity in Amplify now extends to single-list variables aka “Time Series Variables” — extending the family of interactive controls introduced in earlier releases. Producers can expose a Time Series variable in a published chart and let consumers switch between the available options directly in the browser.
This unlocks a common publishing pattern that previously required a workaround: a chart where the consumer can switch between, for example, Headline / Core / Core ex-shelter on the same axes, without leaving the published asset.
Improved Refresh Behaviour in Draft Assets
Draft assets — and duplicated assets opened as drafts — now refresh chart data more reliably during editing. Producers iterating on a piece can trust that the version on screen reflects the latest source data, which is particularly useful when reworking last quarter’s chartbook into this quarter’s release through the duplicate-and-edit workflow.
Point-in-Time Variables with ”now” - Aware End Date
The point-in-time variable can now be configured to take its end date from ”now”, rather than a manually specified date. This makes time-aware behaviour easier to set up and means a chart’s “as of” point can stay aligned the latest date.
Cleaner Presentation for Single-Chart Slides
When an asset contains a slide with only a single chart, the framing has been collapsed to give the chart more room and remove unnecessary visual padding. The result is a cleaner, more focused presentation that better suits single-chart assets — without changing how multi-chart slides are presented.
