+
+Your GitHub teams can be referenced in two ways:
+
+- `https://github.com/orgs/<org>/teams/<team name>`
+- `@<org>/<team name>`

+## Explore improvements
+
+This release adds a ton of enhancements to Explore. Both in terms of new general enhancements but also in
+new data source specific features.
+
+### Loki live streaming
+
+For log queries using the Loki data source you can now stream logs live directly to the Explore UI.
+
+### Loki context queries
+
+After finding a log line through the heavy use of query filters it can then be useful to
+see the log lines surrounding the line your searched for. The `show context` feature
+allows you to view lines before and after the line of interest.
+
+### Elasticsearch logs support
+
+This release adds support for searching & visualizing logs stored in Elasticsearch in the Explore mode. With a special
+simplified query interface specifically designed for logs search.
+
+{{< docs-imagebox img="/img/docs/v63/elasticsearch_explore_logs.png" max-width="600px" caption="New Time Picker" >}}
+
+Please read [Using Elasticsearch in Grafana](/features/datasources/elasticsearch/#querying-logs-beta) for more detailed information on how to get started and use it.
+
+### InfluxDB logs support
+
+This release adds support for searching & visualizing logs stored in InfluxDB in the Explore mode. With a special
+simplified query interface specifically designed for logs search.
+
+{{< docs-imagebox img="/img/docs/v63/influxdb_explore_logs.png" max-width="600px" caption="New Time Picker" >}}
+
+Please read [Using InfluxDB in Grafana](/features/datasources/influxdb/#querying-logs-beta) for more detailed information on how to get started and use it.
+
+## Data Links
+
+We have simplified the UI for defining panel drilldown links (and renamed them to Panel links). We have also added a
+new type of link named `Data link`. The reason to have two different types is to make it clear how they are used
+and what variables you can use in the link. Panel links are only shown in the top left corner of
+the panel and you cannot reference series name or any data field.
+
+While `Data links` are used by the actual visualization and can reference data fields.
+
+Example:
+```url
+http://my-grafana.com/d/bPCI6VSZz/other-dashboard?var-server=${__series_name}
+```
+
+You have access to these variables:
+
+Name | Description
+------------ | -------------
+*${__series_name}* | The name of the time series (or table)
+*${__value_time}* | The time of the point your clicking on (in millisecond epoch)
+*${__url_time_range}* | Interpolates as the full time range (i.e. from=21312323412&to=21312312312)
+*${__all_variables}* | Adds all current variables (and current values) to the url
+
+You can then click on point in the Graph.
+
+{{< docs-imagebox img="/img/docs/v63/graph_datalink.png" max-width="400px" caption="New Time Picker" >}}
+
+For now only the Graph panel supports `Data links` but we hope to add these to many visualizations.
+
+## New Time Picker
+
+The time picker has been re-designed and with a more basic design that makes accessing quick ranges more easy.
+
+{{< docs-imagebox img="/img/docs/v63/time_picker.png" max-width="400px" caption="New Time Picker" >}}
+
+## Graph Gradients
+
+Want more eye candy in your graphs? Then the fill gradient option might be for you! Works really well for
+graphs with only a single series.
+
+{{< docs-imagebox img="/img/docs/v63/graph_gradient_area.jpeg" max-width="800px" caption="Graph Gradient Area" >}}
+
+Looks really nice in light theme as well.

+
+## Grafana Enterprise
+
+Substantial refactoring and improvements to the external auth systems has gone in to this release making the  features
+listed below possible as well as laying a foundation for future enhancements.
+
+### LDAP Active Sync
+
+This is a new Enterprise feature that enables background syncing of user information, org role and teams memberships.
+This syncing is otherwise only done at login time. With this feature you can schedule how often this user synchronization should
+occur.
+
+For example, lets say a user is removed from an LDAP group. In previous versions of Grafana an admin would have to
+wait for the user to logout or the session to expire for the Grafana permissions to update, a process that can take days.
+
+With active sync the user would be automatically removed from the corresponding team in Grafana or even logged out and disabled if no longer
+belonging to an LDAP group that gives them access to Grafana.

+
+### SAML Authentication
+
+Built-in support for SAML is now available in Grafana Enterprise.
+
+### Team Sync for GitHub OAuth
+
+When setting up OAuth with GitHub it's now possible to sync GitHub teams with Teams in Grafana.
+
+[See docs]({{< relref "auth/github.md" >}})
+
+### Team Sync for Auth Proxy
+
+We've added support for enriching the Auth Proxy headers with Teams information, which makes it possible
+to use Team Sync with Auth Proxy.
+
+[See docs](/auth/auth-proxy/#auth-proxy-authentication)
