What’s new in version 2.0.3?

                This is for use with Einstein Analytics dashboards - more specifically, on the JSON editor.
It enables a page action when editing JSON on an Einstein Analytics dashboard, and when activated, will show a menu of available steps to modify, which will bring up a code editor. It will only show custom SAQL queries and is ideal when modifying SAQL with bindings, since the standard editor won't allow direct editing.

Note: this is WIP, and feedback is always appreciated.
