|v1.3|<Check />|-|
|v1.2|<Check />|<Check />|
|v1.1|<Check />|<Check />|
|v1.0|<Check />|<Check />|

* In Saved Views, dataset analysis settings, including imported gene groups and their associated transcript icon shape and color changes, can now be saved.
* Point subsampling in Xenium Explorer was reduced for display in the [transcript](/support/software/xenium-explorer/tutorials/getting-started-with-xenium-explorer#transcript-display-options) layer, allowing a fuller view of transcripts when zoomed out.
* Improvements to layer interactions, including the ability to quickly toggle the Image, Cell, and Transcript layers on/off from the sidebar.
* Other bug fixes and improvements.
