Ever find yourself switching between tabs in GitLab just to keep track of what’s happening in your project? Maybe you’re checking on an issue, then jumping to a merge request, then over to an epic to see how everything connects. Before you know it, you’ve got a browser full of tabs and you’ve lost your train of thought.If that sounds familiar, you’re definitely not alone. So many teams waste time and energy flipping through various items in their project management software, just trying to get a handle on their work.That's why we created embedded views, powered by GitLab Query Language (GLQL). With embedded views, available in 18.3, you get live, relevant information right where you’re already working in GitLab. No more endless context switching. No more outdated reports. Just the info you need, right when you need it.Why embedded views matterEmbedded views are more than just a new feature, they're a fundamental shift in how teams understand and track their work within GitLab. With embedded views, teams can maintain context while accessing real-time information, creating shared understanding, and improving collaboration without ever leaving their current workflow. It’s about making work tracking feel natural and effortless, so you can focus on what matters.How it works: Real-time data right where you need it the mostEmbedded views let you insert live GLQL queries in Markdown code blocks throughout wiki pages, epics, issues, and merge requests. Here's what makes them so useful:Always up to dateGLQL queries are dynamic, pulling fresh data each time the page loads, so your embedded views always reflect the current state of your work, not the state when you embedded the view. When changes happen to issues, merge requests, or milestones, a page refresh will show those updates in your embedded view.Contextual awarenessUse functions like currentUser() and today() to make queries context-specific. Your embedded views automatically adapt to show relevant information for whoever is viewing them, creating personalized experiences without manual configuration.Powerful filteringFilter by fields like assignee, author, label, milestone, health status, creation date, and more. Use logical expressions to get exactly the data you want. We support more than 30 fields as of 18.3.Customizable displayYou can display your data as a table, a list, or a numbered list. Choose which fields to show, set a limit on the number of items, and specify the sort order to keep your view focused and actionable.AvailabilityYou can use embedded views in group and project wikis, epic and issue descriptions, merge requests, and comments. GLQL is available across all GitLab tiers: Free, Premium, and Ultimate, on GitLab.com, GitLab Self-Managed, and GitLab Dedicated. Certain functionality, such as displaying epics, status, custom fields, iterations, and weights, is available in the Premium and Ultimate tiers. Displaying health status is available only in Ultimate.See embedded views in actionThe syntax of an embedded view's source is a superset of YAML that consists of:The query parameter: Expressions joined together with a logical operator, such as and.Parameters related to the presentation layer, like display, limit, or fields, title, and description
