# Introducing the new Data Ingestion Experience

## Ingestion UI enhancements

- Added easier access to all supported ingestion formats.

- Added a shortcut for ingesting data streams from Confluent Cloud.
- Added the option to suggest new connectors through the UI.
- The new BigQuery connector is available in private beta.

## Other notable changes {% #notable-fixes-2023-01-31 %}

- Changes in the Data Source schema when previewing a newly created Data Source were being ignored under some circumstances. This shouldn’t happen again.
- Fixed a problem with [datasources_ops_log](/forward/monitoring/service-datasources) not being updated after re-pushing a Materialized View.
- Fixed an issue in the Auth tokens modal that prevented the Read / Write options to be correctly seen.
- Fixed a couple of bugs in the Data Flow view related to wrong rendering of Data Sources metadata.
- Fixed a bug that apparently allowed the creation of tokens with no scopes but raised a silent error.
- When using `tb fmt` to format your `.datasource` file, a bug removed the Data Source description. Now, the description is kept.
