GTM Injector
Allow to inject a GTM container on pages matching a specific rule.
This feature should block any existing container and replace it with yours.
This might be useful when the GTM container isn't yet deployed but you want to develop and do tests, or for complex environments where you can't work with the already present container.
Da Vinci Tools To Be Acquired by Supermetrics!
When I thought about retiring Da Vinci Tools, I didn't suspect there would be such a great level of support.
After discussing with a couple of interested parties, I have come to an agreement with the great team at Supermetrics.
You probably know them as the provider of several connectivity tools and there's a great fit with Da Vinci Tools. So it will go on, all features will be free, they will continue to develop & support it and I will play an active advocacy role for Supermetrics.

Create Supermetrics GSheet from GA Report
Please upvote if you would like to be able to simply do Export to Supermetrics GSheet - essentially picking all the current configs of a GA report, create the proper Google Sheet tabs with the Supermetrics syntax.
This feature will show up under Export/Google Sheet Supermetrics in the next release.
Note this feature will eventually be available only to subscribers.

GA: API v4 Export
Currently, Da Vinci ads the possibility to create an API v3 call based on the currently selected report configuration. This should be updated to API v4 and further improved.
Exit from GTM preview from the same preview
Add a button in the GTM preview pane to leave preview, not just minimize it, so it's not necessary to login to GTM to leave preview
Done!
Google's way of exiting preview is either going back to the GTM Container and doing "Leave Preview Mode" or when using a shared preview link, reload that link and click on "Exit preview and debug mode" - both methods aren't very practical... so now you have a nice and handy "Exit Preview" button. It will simulate what the shared link method does and get you out of preview for the current container.
Ready for the next release!

Data Studio multi-page PDF print
Title says it all: it would be interesting to be able to easily do a PDF of all pages in a dashboard.
This is now supported directly by Google - see https://support.google.com/datastudio/answer/9125317
Heat map not working
When I click to turn on the heat map in GA tables, it briefly activates, but then the table sorting happens and the heat mapping goes away.
I wasn't able to reproduce the problem, but I have given the toggle icon a little more padding so it's easier to click on it. We'll see how it goes! This will be available in the next release, coming up shortly.
