Welcome to Grafana 13.1!
This release helps you build dashboards with less setup, connect more of your data securely, and get answers across your whole stack without leaving Grafana. Apply quick filters and grouping without configuring template variables, scope variables to the rows and tabs where they belong, and copy panel styling in a couple of clicks. Git Sync matures with verified commits, dashboard import, and root-level sync, bringing auditable GitOps to teams that require signed commits and branch protection. And Grafana Assistant now queries Snowflake, Jira, Dynatrace, and five more sources directly, so you can ask questions across your databases and observability data in one place.
For even more detail about all the changes in this release, refer to the changelog. For the specific steps we recommend when you upgrade to v13.1, check out our Upgrade Guide.
