What’s New & What It Means for You

We’re excited to announce the November 2025 release of Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows. This update brings enhancements across app settings, visualizations, dashboards, and connectors making your analytics smoother, more powerful and easier to maintain. Below is a breakdown of the key features, how your teams – analytics creators, business users, data integrators and administrators – can benefit, and some practical next-steps to get ready.

Key Highlights

1. Refreshed App Settings Design

The app-settings area has been refurbished with a more modern layout and tabbed navigation between categories of settings.

Why this matters:

• Saves time when configuring apps 
• Helps with onboarding and reducing configuration errors
  
  

2. Improvements to the Sheet Editing Experience

Several usability upgrades have landed in the sheet-edit experience:

• The source table viewer and filters now appear directly from the sheet edit view, so you can see data tables and fields in-context.
• Filters have been added to the properties panel, making building and applying filters to visualizations faster.
  
  Why this matters:
• Makes authoring apps more intuitive and reduces back-and-forth between data manager and sheet view
• Helps streamline development, speeding time to insight
  
  

3. New Straight Table — Now the Default

The new straight table object has graduated and is now included under the chart section as the default table visual. The older table object remains accessible in the asset panel for now and its eventual deprecation will be announced well in advance.

Why this matters:

• The new straight table has enhanced usability (such as improved selection, sorting, performance)
• Encourages migration to the newer, better-supported table, ahead of eventual deprecation
  
  

4. New Visual Enhancements & Chart Capabilities

Some powerful visual upgrades arrived in this release:

• Indent row setting in the new pivot table: For the new pivot table object, you can now choose “indent row dimensions” for a more compact view (ideal for text-heavy tables)
• Pivot table indicators: The new pivot table also supports icons and colors based on thresholds, enabling quick visual cues on measures.
• Shapes in bar and combo charts: Building on the success of shapes in line charts, you can now add shapes to bar and combo charts, enriching context and visual data literacy.
• Line chart shapes improved: For line charts, labels and symbols (size, color, placement) are now available in the shape options.
• Org chart now supports images & new styling: The org-chart object can now include an image via URL and enhanced styling settings making hierarchy charts look sharper.
• Map chart stability enhancements: Map charts now use a local webmap rather than one from Qlik’s servers resulting in faster load times and improved stability.
  
  Why this matters:
• These visual enhancements offer more expressive, compelling dashboards and reduce friction for authors
• Stability enhancements (e.g., for maps) reduce risk of user-experience issues in production
  
  

5. Removal of Deprecated Objects

With this release, we are updating our announcement from our Qlik Sense May 2025 release regarding the roadmap for removing deprecated visualization objects. The following deprecated charts are now scheduled to be removed from the Qlik Analytics distribution in May 2027.

• Bar & area
• Bullet chart (old one)
• Heatmap chart
• Button for navigation
• Share button
• Show/hide container
• Container (old one)

In Closing

The November 2025 release for Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows delivers meaningful improvements across usability, visualizations, and stability. Whether you're an analytics author, a business user, or an administrator/architect, there are advantages to be gained with this release.

As always, we recommend reviewing the full “What’s New” documentation and aligning your upgrade and adoption strategy accordingly.

Unfortunately upgrading from 2025 may to 2025 november caused the Qlik Sense hub and qmc to no longer be available. I've had to revert to a pre-upgrade snapshot.

Hello @dennemanr 

Please reach out to support so we can help you look into this together. Include any log files you can provide from the duration of the upgrade and post upgrade (when you saw the issue occur).

If you have a test environment that you can upgrade first to reproduce the behaviour, that would help with active troubleshooting! 

All the best,
Sonja

Regarding the New Straight Table: it seems there is no possibility to export the table including the formatting to Excel (and thus no total row and links in the export, no option to change the name of the exported file), or am I missing something? Therefore, I see mostly disadvantages in using the new table. I could also not measure any performance improvements.

We are experiencing an issue in Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows – November 2025 Patch 2 where loading an app triggers an external request to:
https://maps.qlikcloud.com/ravegeo/webmap5/maps?key=…

This request happens even when opening an empty app (for example, switching to the Data Load Editor before any sheets or objects are created).

Because our Qlik environment and clients  does not have Internet access, every attempt to connect to this URL results in an extended timeout. This significantly slows down the application opening experience and negatively impacts user productivity and satisfaction.

In contrast, in Qlik Sense May 2025 release, this external resource request does not occur, and opening apps in an offline environment does not suffer any delay.

There should be no attempt to call external map resources when there is no map object in the app, especially in environments without Internet connectivity.

Yep, same https://maps.qlikcloud.com/ravegeo/webmap5/maps?key=%E2%80%A6 issue here 😞

Qlik support confirm that this behavior has been logged internally and is being addressed under defect SUPPORT‑7288. The fix is planned for inclusion in Qlik Sense November 2025 Patch 3.
