All release notes

• PERIOD data type (General availability)

CoCo automations in the CoCo CLI and CoCo in Snowsight are now available in public preview. Automations let you schedule recurring, unattended CoCo runs that execute in a Snowflake-managed sandbox. Each run creates a Cortex thread that you can inspect and continue in CoCo. Automations created from one surface can be monitored and managed from the other.

The Cortex Agent code execution tool is now in public preview. When you enable the tool on an agent, the agent can generate and run Python in a secure, isolated sandbox to process data, perform calculations, and produce visualizations. The sandbox includes the Python standard library along with preinstalled data-processing and plotting libraries such as numpy, pandas, scipy, pyarrow, matplotlib, and plotly. You can install additional PyPI packages through the Artifact Repository.

The following updates are now available in Snowflake Data Clean Rooms:

• External and Apache Iceberg™ tables in cross-region collaborations: Collaborators can now share data offerings that reference external or Iceberg tables with parties in the same region as the collaboration owner, even when the collaboration itself is leveraging Cross-Cloud Auto-Fulfillment. These offerings can't be shared with collaborators in other clouds or regions, because replication isn't supported for these object types in Data Clean Rooms.
• Preset tables in clean room templates (public preview): A template author can now preset a specific provider dataset in a template with a preset_tables block. The template logic can use this dataset and the analysis runner doesn't need to supply it at run time. Learn more.
• Legacy identity connectors removed from the web application: As part of the ongoing deprecation of the legacy Data Clean Rooms web application, the LiveRamp, Acxiom, Merkury, and PAIR third-party identity connectors have been removed. TransUnion remains available. Available identity connectors are listed in the connectors documentation.

With this release, data movement policies are now generally available for Enterprise Edition (or higher). Data movement policies are part of Snowflake's data exfiltration protection controls. These SQL-style conditional policies can help you limit, alert on, or block data movement operations based on specific movement types.

You can now use the Horizon Iceberg REST Catalog (IRC) API to access externally managed Apache Iceberg™ tables in a catalog-linked database from external engines such as Apache Spark™, Trino, DuckDB, or PyIceberg. This extends existing Horizon IRC support for Snowflake-managed Iceberg tables so you can use a single catalog endpoint for both Snowflake-managed and externally managed tables, with Snowflake RBAC enforced consistently.

Power BI ingestion for Semantic View Autopilot is now generally available. You can upload a .pbit or .pbix file to Semantic View Autopilot and have a semantic view created automatically from your existing data model, preserving the DAX measures, table relationships, and column descriptions you've already built in Power BI and making them available to Cortex Analyst.

...

User skills are now available in public preview in Snowflake CoWork. Business users can create reusable workflows conversationally, from the UI (+ menu > Skills > Create new), or by uploading a skill folder on Capabilities > Skills, then run them explicitly with / or from the Skills menus, or implicitly when a conversation matches the skill.

...

With this release, we are pleased to announce the general availability of feature policy rules. A feature policy can carry a YAML body that conditionally blocks object creation based on attributes of the request. For example, you can permit tables in general but block temporary tables, or permit tasks but block serverless (no-warehouse) tasks.

• Per-user quotas (General availability)
• Anomaly monitors for cost anomalies (Preview)

CoCo Desktop v1.21.0 adds enterprise device-management enforcement on macOS, more in-app file previews in agent mode, and fixes a sign-in loop that could open browser tabs indefinitely:

• Enterprise device-management enforcement (macOS): On managed macOS devices, CoCo Desktop enforces your organization's MDM policy at the app-version, connect, and inference gates, including the per-account allowed authentication methods. Unmanaged devices are unaffected.
• More file previews in agent mode: Preview .pdf, .csv, .pptx, .docx, .html, and .ipynb files directly in the app while working with the agent.
• Fixed: repeated SSO sign-in tabs: With external-browser or OAuth authorization-code sign-in, leaving CoCo Desktop open no longer opens browser sign-in tabs indefinitely.

The following Trust Center findings remediation capabilities are now generally available:

• One-click remediation: for supported CIS Benchmarks violation findings, the Trust Center generates the SQL statements that remediate the violation findings, shows you the plan, and runs it after you approve it. For more information, see using the trust center#label trust center remediate violations programmatically.
• Remediation with CoCo: CoCo explains a violation finding in the context of your account, recommends remediation steps, and can run them with your approval. For more information, see using the trust center#label trust center remediate with cortex code.

You can now use CREATE OR ALTER DYNAMIC ICEBERG TABLE to create a dynamic Apache Iceberg™ table if it doesn't exist or alter an existing one in place. The statement represents the complete target state: properties you don't specify reset to their default values, and the command doesn't trigger a refresh by itself.

The following updates are now available in Snowflake Data Clean Rooms:

• Improved error handling and validation for RUN: Error handling now covers a broader range of template run failure cases, surfacing clear, actionable error messages, along with faster pre-flight validation. These improvements apply to collaborations created after the June 18, 2026 release.
• Faster API performance: Improvements have been made to reduce latency for GET_STATUS, VIEW_REGISTERED_TEMPLATES, VIEW_REGISTRIES, and GET_CONFIGURATION.
• Fixed freeform SQL view resolution for data providers: Incorrectly formatted freeform SQL view names in the response of VIEW_DATA_OFFERINGS for the data provider have been corrected.

Providers can ship agent skills inside a Snowflake Native App and reference them from an app-created Cortex Agent by using a relative STAGE path (for example, /my_skill). The path resolves against the app's versioned (snapshot) stage, so providers don't need an absolute @database.schema.stage/... location that depends on the consumer's installed app name.

Snowflake Cortex AI_MULTI_EMBED is now generally available for semantic video search with support for large video files up to 6 GB using the TwelveLabs Marengo Embed 3.0 model, enabling organizations to index and search production-grade video content directly in Snowflake. This makes it easier to retrieve relevant scenes, quotes, actions, and brands from large video libraries using multimodal embeddings instead of relying only on filenames, tags, or manual review.

...

Snowflake can now connect directly to the Amazon S3 Tables Iceberg REST endpoint, so you don't need to create an AWS Glue integration. This capability is now generally available. You can use an Apache Iceberg™ REST catalog integration with Signature Version 4 (SigV4) authentication, then create a catalog-linked database to discover and query S3 Tables from Snowflake. You can also configure outbound private connectivity so Snowflake accesses the S3 Tables catalog and storage through private endpoints.

...

The following updates are now available in Snowflake Data Clean Rooms:

• Improved handling for cross-region replication delays: When a collaboration listing is still replicating to your region, REVIEW (for collaborators) and JOIN (for the owner) now return a clear CollaborationListingReplicationPending error and set your local collaboration status to REPLICATING. Call GET_STATUS to check whether replication has finished: it returns INVITED for collaborators and CREATED for the owner, after which you can retry REVIEW or JOIN. For details, see Cross-region replication delays.
• Teardown/Leave support for CREATING/INSTALLING collaborations: You can now tear down or leave collaborations that are in the CREATING or INSTALLING state.
• Improved handling for collaboration creation failures: Retry handling has been extended to avoid collaboration creation failures in case of listing metadata synchronization delays.

ADAPTIVE refresh mode for dynamic tables is now generally available.

CoCo Desktop v1.20.2 fixes a Windows update crash, adds one-click sharing of skills and plugins, and includes a Restart menu item:

• Fixed: crash on Windows after updating to v1.20.0: Windows users who updated from v1.17.0 or earlier to v1.20.0 could be left stuck. Stale modules are now cleaned up after an update and the updater no longer terminates itself mid-run, so affected Windows users can update normally.
• Share skills and plugins with a deep link: A coco:// deep link installs a skill or plugin straight from the Snowflake catalog in one click, always resolving to the latest certified version.
• Restart from the File menu: A proper Restart option, with a guard so it won't interrupt an in-progress update.
