Today, we consume information primarily through mobile devices. From the start, CartoDB has supported visualizations on-the-go. We believe that form and function make a good pair, which is why our maps are designed to live with the technology that supports their creators. Our conviction was a hard-won technical challenge.

CartoDB is more than just a useful tool for visualizing spreadsheets. When you use CartoDB you have the ability to tap into powerful data manipulation and GIS tools as well. To showcase these capabilities, we are creating a short series, Mapping the invisible. As the title may suggest, we’ll be exploring different datasets, doing analysis and visualizations to tell stories that are hidden in that data, so you can learn and get inspired to work with CartoDB.

Creating maps is quite addictive, so you may end up with tons of tables and visualizations in your account that are part of publications, and which you don’t wish to change.
Today we are launching a new way to prevent undesired changes to your published items. From now on, you will be able to lock your tables and visualizations which will make them disappear from the default view of your dashboards and CartoDB will warn you each time you want to edit them.
