 # Graph Explorer Change Log
 
+## Release 3.0.0
+
+Graph Explorer 3.0 is here! This release brings one of the most requested
+features — the ability to visualize your graph database schema — along with a
+fresh navigation experience and a handful of quality-of-life improvements.
+
+If you're upgrading from a previous version, all your existing connections,
+preferences, and configuration data will carry over unchanged.
+
+### Schema Explorer
+
+You can now see the shape of your graph at a glance. The new Schema Explorer
+renders your vertex types, edge types, and their connections as an interactive
+schema graph. Drill into any type from the sidebar to see property details and
+data types. Edge connection discovery maps out how your types relate, giving you
+a bird's-eye view of your entire graph structure.
+
+The schema is built by sampling your graph data, so it reflects what Graph
+Explorer has seen so far and may not capture every type or property in your
+database.

+</div>
+
+### Redesigned Navigation
+
+Getting around Graph Explorer just got easier. The navigation bar has been
+rebuilt as a clean, static top bar for moving between the Graph Explorer, Data
+Explorer, and Schema Explorer. Sidebar tabs have been refreshed to match the new
+look.
+
+<div align="center">
+  <img width="540" src="images/graph-explorer.png" />
+</div>
+
+### Data Explorer Improvements
+
+The Data Explorer now includes a vertex type switcher for faster browsing across
+types and a new export button to download data as CSV or JSON (thanks @dwrth!).
+
+<div align="center">
+  <img width="540" src="images/data-explorer.png" />
+</div>
+
+### Other Improvements
+
+- Rewritten RDF prefix generation and replacement logic
+- Standardized terminology across Gremlin, openCypher, and SPARQL
+- Very large and very small numbers now display using scientific notation
+- Keyword search labels are clearer and more descriptive
