## AddMaple V3

Welcome to AddMaple V3 — launched September 29, 2025. This release brings faster analysis, richer charts, deeper statistics, and a big change to how you manage your data: you can now fully control cleaning and preparation.

### Highlights
- **You control prep**: Combine/separate columns, group/ungroup, edit types and titles, tidy legends, and use Clean with AI.
- **New charts**: Box plots, mean dot plots, improved dot (bubble) charts with Fixed vs Auto scale, plus pie/donut/rose and geographic maps.
- **New stats**: Expanded engine with Chi‑Square, T‑Test, ANOVA, Kruskal‑Wallis, correlations, regression, significance shading, key drivers, and NPS.
- **Faster by default**: Instant summaries for big files, SAV/SPSS support, and responsive UI.
- **Dashboards & Insights**: Streamlined Story Dashboards, publish/share with password, explorable data, and better collection-to-dashboard flows.

## Data prep you control

You can now fix what used to be automatic-only. Prepare data precisely the way you need.

- **Manage Columns**: rename, change types, hide/unhide, review merges/groups: see [Manage columns](../preparation/manage-columns).
- **Combine columns**: merge single/multi-select exports back into one variable; confirm positive/negative values where needed: see [Combine columns](../preparation/combining-columns).
- **Separate columns**: undo automatic or manual combines when you want originals back: see [Combine columns](../preparation/combining-columns.md#separating-columns).
- **Group / Ungroup**: organize Likert/matrix questions as logical sets; edit group and item display names: see [Group columns](../preparation/group) and [Grouping from charts](../pivot-chart-and-table/grouping-columns).
- **Legend control**: rename, reorder, hide/show, merge categories, assign colors, toggle Ordered vs Independent: see [Legend](../legend/legend) and [Ordered vs Independent](../legend/ordered-vs-independent).
- **Clean with AI**: auto‑standardize labels, order scales, optionally merge near‑duplicates with guardrails: see [Clean with AI](../legend/clean-with-ai).
- **Custom bins**: fixed numeric/date ranges with live previews: see [Number binning](../preparation/number-binning) and [Date binning](../preparation/date-binning).
- **Weighting**: apply a weight column; charts, tables, and tests use weighted bases: see [Weighting](../preparation/weighting).

## Charts

- **Dot charts (bubble)** with scale control: choose **0–100** (fixed) or **Auto Scale**; ideal for percentage comparisons and grouped pivots: see [Dot charts](../charts/bubble-dot-plots).
- **Box plots & Mean dot plots** for numeric distributions and group comparisons: see [Box plots and mean dot plots](../charts/boxplots-mean-dot-plots).
- **Additional charts** for single‑column exploration: pie, donut, rose; automatic **geographic maps** when location data is detected: see [Additional charts](../charts/additional-charts).
- **Likert charts**: group related opinion scales, align on neutral or left, show numbers/average: see [Grouped Likert](../data-types/grouped-likert) and [Opinion scale columns](../data-types/likert-single).

## Statistics

V3 expands automatic testing and interpretability. You explore, we surface the math.

- **At a glance**: see the summary card on pivot views; click through to full details: see [Statistical calculations](/help/frequently-asked-questions/statisticalcalculations).
- **Tests (auto‑selected)**:
  - Categorical vs categorical: [Chi‑Square](../stats/chi-square)
  - Numeric vs 2 groups: [T‑Test](../stats/ttest)
  - Numeric vs 3+ groups: [ANOVA](../stats/anovatest) or [Kruskal‑Wallis](../stats/kruskal-wallis) when assumptions are weak
  - Numeric vs numeric: [Correlation (Pearson/Spearman)](../stats/correlation)
- **Significance shading** inside pivot tables: z‑score tiers, Holm adjustment, practical‑effect guards: see [Significance testing](../stats/significance-testing).
- **Related columns** view: scan strongest relationships; click to jump to a pivot: see [Related columns](../stats/related-columns).
- **Regression**: linear and logistic with visuals: see [Regression](../stats/regression).
- **Key drivers**: random‑forest importance to explain outcomes: see [Key driver analysis](../stats/key-driver-analysis).
- **NPS**: automatic detection and scoring for 0–10 scales: see [NPS](../stats/nps).

## Table and row views

- **Interactive tables**: add/remove columns, sort, filter by clicking values: see [Add/remove columns](../table/addremovetablecol), [Sort](../table/sorttable), [Filter from table](../table/addfiltertable).
- **Row‑by‑row**: read full responses with context; add filters from rows; quick navigation: see [Understand row view](../row-by-row/understandrow), [Add filter from row](../row-by-row/addfilterrow), [Navigate rows](../row-by-row/navigaterows).
- **Status line logic**: rows vs results, hiding vs filtering, weighted bases: see [Filtering vs hiding](../pivot-chart-and-table/filtering-vs-hiding).
