# Rakenne 0.6.0 — Dashboard and XLSX Tools > 0.6.0 introduces a workspace Dashboard for monitoring projects and a new suite of XLSX tools for reading, transforming, and generating spreadsheet-based data sources. Author: map[name:Rakenne team] Published: 2026-03-09 URL: https://rakenne.app/learn/releases/rakenne-0-6-0/index.md We're pleased to announce **Rakenne 0.6.0**. This release adds two major capabilities: a **Dashboard** for monitoring your projects at a glance, and a new **XLSX tools** skill for working with spreadsheet-based data as a first-class input and output format. ## Dashboard The new Dashboard view gives you a single place to understand what's happening across your workspaces: - **Project overview** — See your active and recent projects with key metadata at a glance: tenant, template, last activity, and status. This makes it easier to jump back into ongoing work without hunting through lists or URLs. - **Session history** — Surface recent agent sessions and workflows, with quick links back into the workspace so you can resume elaborations where you left off. - **Skill usage visibility** — Understand which skills are being used across projects (e.g., contract templates, regulatory guides, spreadsheet tools) so you can spot adoption patterns and prioritize improvements. - **Health signals** — Highlight failed or stalled sessions, so you can quickly identify projects that may need attention from a human expert. The Dashboard is designed for **multi-tenant teams** who need to keep track of several parallel document workflows without losing context. ## XLSX tools Many real-world processes start or end in spreadsheets — risk registers, requirements matrices, financial models, checklists, and audit trails. The new **xlsx-tools** skill turns XLSX files into a first-class medium the agent can read, transform, and generate: - **Read workbook** — Load an `.xlsx` file, enumerate sheets, and expose rows and cells in a structured format. The agent can filter, sort, and summarize content without you having to pre-process the file. - **Map to variables** — Convert tabular data into the variable schema used by your skills. This is especially useful when your source of truth is a spreadsheet (e.g., ISO risk tables or SOC 2 control lists) but your workflows run on structured variables. - **Transform data** — Clean and reshape spreadsheet content: normalize identifiers, reformat dates and currencies, merge or split columns, and apply domain-specific rules defined by your skill. - **Generate workbook** — Produce new `.xlsx` files from structured variables, with multiple sheets, headers, formatting, and derived columns. This lets the agent export results in a format that downstream systems and stakeholders already understand. - **Validate structure** — Check that incoming spreadsheets match expected layouts: required sheets, column headers, and cell types. Validation errors are reported with precise locations so the agent can either fix the sheet or ask you for a corrected version. By treating spreadsheets as structured data instead of opaque attachments, the XLSX tools make it much easier to connect Rakenne to existing operational processes that live in Excel or Google Sheets. If you're also working with Word files, see the [**Working with DOCX tools**](/learn/tutorials/working-with-docx-tools/) tutorial to learn how to combine spreadsheet-driven variables with rich document generation. --- Thank you for using Rakenne. With the new Dashboard and XLSX tools, it's easier to keep track of your projects and to plug Rakenne into the spreadsheet-based workflows your organization already relies on. — The Rakenne team --- Back to [Releases](https://rakenne.app/learn/releases/index.md)
