February 2026

Data Science Agent (Public Preview)

February 10, 2026

Agent Mode for Databricks Assistant is now in Public Preview in AWS GovCloud and AWS GovCloud DoD. In Agent Mode, the Assistant can orchestrate multi-step workflows from a single prompt.

The Data Science Agent is custom-built for data science workflows and can build an entire notebook for tasks like EDA, forecasting, and machine learning from scratch. Using your prompt, it can plan a solution, retrieve relevant assets, run code, use cell outputs to improve results, automatically fix errors, and more.

See Use the Data Science Agent.

Applying filters, masks, tags, and comments to pipeline-created datasets is now GA

February 5, 2026

Using CREATE, ALTER, or the Lakeflow UI to modify ETL and ingestion pipelines (Lakeflow Spark Declarative Pipelines and Lakeflow Connect) is now GA. You can modify pipelines to apply row filters, column masks, table and column tags, column comments, and (for materialized views only) table comments.

See ALTER STREAMING TABLE and ALTER MATERIALIZED VIEW. For general information about using ALTER with Lakeflow Spark Declarative Pipelines, see Use ALTER statements with pipeline datasets.

Default SQL warehouse settings (General Availability)

February 5, 2026

Default SQL warehouse settings are now generally available. Workspace administrators can set a default SQL warehouse that is automatically selected in SQL authoring surfaces, including the SQL editor, AI/BI dashboards, AI/BI Genie, Alerts, and Catalog Explorer. Individual users can also override the workspace default by setting their own user-level default warehouse. See Set a default SQL warehouse for the workspace and Set a user-level default warehouse.

Select tables and create pivot tables in Google Sheets

February 3, 2026

You can now directly select Databricks tables from the Catalog Explorer and import data as pivot tables in Google Sheets using the Databricks Connector. See Connect to Databricks from Google Sheets.

January 2026

Trigger on update for pipelines (GA)

January 30, 2026

TRIGGER ON UPDATE is now generally available. Use trigger on update in Databricks SQL when creating a pipeline schedule to refresh the pipeline when a source table changes.

See Trigger on update for more information.

View and restore your recent workspace tab sessions

Databricks One is generally available

January 22, 2026

Databricks One is now generally available in AWS GovCloud and AWS GovCloud DoD. Databricks One is a simplified user interface designed for business users, providing a single, intuitive entry point to interact with data and AI in Databricks without requiring technical knowledge of compute resources, queries, models, or notebooks. Using Databricks One, business users can view and interact with dashboards, ask data questions in natural language using Genie, and use custom-built Databricks Apps that combine analytics, AI, and workflows. See What is Databricks One?.

You can now use custom base environments for Python, Python Wheels, and notebook tasks in serverless jobs

January 20, 2026

Serverless jobs now support custom base environments defined with YAML files for Python, Python wheel, and notebook tasks. For notebook tasks, you can either select a custom base environment in the job's environment configuration or use the notebook's own environment settings, which support both workspace environments and custom base environments.

For more information, see Manage serverless workspace base environments.

Budgets are now avaliable

January 20, 2026

Budgets enable you to monitor usage across your account. You can set up budgets to either track account-wide spending, or apply filters to track the spending of specific teams, projects, or workspaces. See Create and monitor budgets.
