Several Grafanistas talk about their remote work experience at Grafana Labs.

The new panel time settings drawer gives you greater control over time ranges and shifts at the panel level without editing the dashboard. The time comparison feature, in particular, was a request from the community, and allows you to easily perform time-based (for example, month-over-month) comparative analyses in a single view. This eliminates the need to duplicate panels or dashboards to perform trend tracking and performance benchmarking.

The revamped panel brings color highlighting, more flexible search, and an overall smoother experience to help you quickly find the “why” behind every log line. This is generally available in all editions of Grafana.
