The Neo4j Bloom version 1.4 release introduces new features to aid in graph exploration, including proactive search suggestions that automatically display linked entities and patterns, making it easier for users to get started with visualizing graphs without prior knowledge of the underlying data model. Additionally, a hierarchical graph layout is introduced, which can effectively visualize nested and sequential data in a tree or linear format, particularly useful for exploring customer journey data, supply chains, and dependency mappings. The release also includes user controls for refreshing perspectives and performance optimizations to ease the load on larger databases. Furthermore, Bloom remains free for personal use with Neo4j Desktop and Neo4j AuraDB, offering users a convenient starting point for graph exploration and data science.
