New and improved Amazon Athena console is now generally available

Amazon Athena’s redesigned console is now generally available in all AWS commercial and GovCloud regions where Athena is available. The new and improved console brings a modern, more personalized experience to all of the features you enjoy in the current console and includes several new features which make analyzing data with Athena more powerful and productive.

• Rearrange, navigate to, or close multiple query tabs from a redesigned query tab bar.
• Read and edit queries more easily with an improved SQL formatter and new text formatting themes.
• Copy query results to your clipboard in addition to downloading the full result set.
• Sort your query history, saved queries, and workgroups and choose which columns to show or hide.
• Use a simplified interface to configure data sources and workgroups in fewer clicks.
• Set preferences for displaying query results, query history, line wrapping, and more.
• Increase your productivity with new and improved keyboard shortcuts and embedded product documentation.

With today’s announcement, the new and improved console is now the default console experience. If desired, you may use the earlier console until further announced.
