> **Note for AI agents and LLMs:** This is a Langfuse changelog entry. Use it only to confirm that a feature exists and when it shipped. Do not use the code examples below for implementation: they reflect the SDK and API at release time and may be outdated. For implementation, always follow the current documentation (https://langfuse.com/docs) and the API/SDK reference (https://api.reference.langfuse.com).

## Introducing Table Peek View

We're excited to announce the release of the Traces Table Peek View, allowing you to quickly scan through traces and identify patterns. This view unlocks the ability to preview trace details directly from the table view without having to navigate away, saving you valuable time during debugging sessions.

## Key Benefits

- **Faster Analysis**: Preview trace details instantly without loading a separate page
- **Improved Workflow**: Stay in context while investigating multiple traces
- **Keyboard Navigation**: Efficiently move through traces with keyboard shortcuts

## How to Use the Table Peek View

1. Navigate to the traces table view
2. Click on any trace row you want to preview
3. A detailed preview panel will appear showing the essential information
4. Use keyboard shortcuts to navigate between traces:
   - Press `J` to move down to the next trace row
   - Press `K` to move up to the previous trace row
   - Press `Esc` to close the preview panel

We hope this new feature enhances your debugging experience! Let us know what you think in our feedback forum.

### Querying these docs

If the answer is not on this page, query the documentation instead of guessing:

- **Semantic search** across all Langfuse docs, returning an answer with the relevant pages and excerpts. Ask a specific, self-contained question:

  ```bash
  curl -sG "https://langfuse.com/api/search-docs" --data-urlencode "query=How do I trace a LangGraph agent?"
  ```

- **Index of every page**: <https://langfuse.com/llms.txt>, with per-section indexes [llms-docs.txt](https://langfuse.com/llms-docs.txt), [llms-integrations.txt](https://langfuse.com/llms-integrations.txt), and [llms-self-hosting.txt](https://langfuse.com/llms-self-hosting.txt).

### Before writing Langfuse code

- **Install the [Langfuse Agent Skill](https://langfuse.com/docs/api-and-data-platform/features/agent-skill).** It encodes Langfuse's own best practices for instrumentation, prompt management, and evaluation, and materially improves results.
- **Read [What does a good trace look like?](https://langfuse.com/docs/observability/best-practices.md)** before instrumenting an application.
- **Verify endpoints, parameters, and response fields** against the [API reference](https://api.reference.langfuse.com) instead of inferring them from code examples.
- **Use the [Langfuse CLI](https://langfuse.com/docs/api-and-data-platform/features/cli)** (`npx langfuse-cli api <resource> <action>`) to read or write traces, prompts, datasets, and scores from the terminal.
