Suggestion Make it possible to hide Cube's for different Roles. Add another column (green area) to control visibility for the Admin/Developer.

Add ability to multi-select columns in Block Format
Block formatting individual columns is a very time consuming job, and this would allow you to speed up the process a lot faster. You can currently multi select on the different rows, but it'd be very beneficial to CTRL+Left Click on the columns to format them together too. There are data views with over 100+ columns here…

Use of Rules in Layouts

Using the quick layout and having the rule set on the cube not only leads to not calclulated KPI´s but also…

We are currently migrating from Version 10 to 12.6 and found that the master layout is reset upon screen refresh in B12 - which was not happening in B10.
