What's New?
In March, we released new updates to improve your experience on data.census.gov. With this release, you will now see:
- Expanded functionality to restore the table back to the default view
- Performed technical updates to support future improvements to the single search
- Continued search engine optimization
- Fixes to 12 defects
The primary feature of the release is the Restore feature. When you click the Restore button at the top of the table, it will clear any custom filters you applied to the columns of the table and return to the original view.
Behind-the-scenes technical updates will support future improvements to the single search. Specifically, this work is designed to support future enhancements to your experience when the search text includes ambiguous terms that could have multiple meanings.
