Directus Labs & Spreadsheet Layout

Pedro: Those of you who are eagle eyed may have noticed a start to publish packages under the Directus Labs name. Directus Labs is our space to build experiments and gather feedback. Now not everything that's published by Directus Labs will be maintained the same way as the core project, but it does give us room to try out new things and respond to our users. In fact, last month's Directus AI announcement was a project launched inside of Directus Labs. So in case you missed it, Directus AI is a set of extensions that you can install from the marketplace and leverage best in class AI platforms directly within Directus.

So whether you're looking to rewrite text, generate images, run text analysis, or or moderation, these building blocks can be built into your workflows with Directus Automate. You can find out more about Directus AI by checking out our Directus TV series going through each of these extensions in more detail. And today, we're announcing a new Directus Labs project, which closes out one of our most requested features and one that I've been waiting for for a long time, a spreadsheet layout. So now you can edit items directly from within Directus Explore, either automatically saving after each edit or manually saving after you've made all the changes. This may sound small, but it's gonna be a huge change for teams that need to edit data often.

This isn't the only new extension we've published through Directsys Labs, but it's certainly one of the most impactful. We specifically want to shout out our community member, Florian, for working with us on this project. Directus Labs allows us to ship new integrations, interfaces, and automations really quickly and embrace Directus as a super extensible platform ready for your projects.
