## API tab with POST endpoint

In version 1.3, we are introducing a new API tab available in a new left menu bar on the editor page.

The API tab provides you with an HTTP endpoint that you can POST your payload and import into Hubql.

This is helpful for building webhooks and integrating with services that rely on HTTP requests.

Creating files in Hubql from webhook payloads enables you to share these with others to clarify integration requirements quickly internally or with external partners.

## Real-time position & live cursor

We are introducing real-time position and live cursor in the visualization.

Hubql's core value is to enable real-time collaboration and we are taking a step further with this feature.

You can now see the position of other users in the visualization to follow along when in meetings to discuss changes or specific models or fields together.

Besides the real-time position, we now update the node position in the visualization in real-time to keep everything in sync during collaboration.

## Export all

Our export feature allows you to export the entire visualization, not just the current viewport.

Exporting the whole visualization is useful when you want to share the whole model with others or use it in your documentation for a complete overview.

## UX Improvements & Fixes

The following UX improvements and fixes have been made in version 1.3:

- **Unlimited nested JSON levels** \
   We removed the limitation of 4 levels of nested JSON files. You can now have unlimited levels of nested JSON object children.

- **Drag & drop multiple files** \
   You can now drag and drop multiple files into the upload file tab when creating new files.

- **File name changes** \
   File names are now updated in real-time.
- **Save process** \
   We have fixed a few issues in the save process to make it more reliable and faster.

- **Save node position** \
   We improved the save node position process, and while it is now real-time, we also fixed the consistency of saving the positions.

## Next

In the next release, you can expect more integrations such as Supabase, Hasura, and more.

Furthermore, we will support unlimited nested children for XML files and more improvements to application performance.
