+## News
+
+#### 2026-04-13
+
+We are excited to launch **two new features** in the Snakemake Workflow Catalog that make automatic display of workflow pages both easier and more visually appealing:
+
+1. The Catalog now supports automatic rendering of **Tube Maps** using [snakevision](https://github.com/OpenOmics/snakevision). Tube maps will automatically show up on your workflow page if the workflow has an executable test case in `.test` ([details](docs/about/adding_workflows)).
+
+```{image} _static/news_item1.png
+:alt: example tube map rendering
+:width: 90%
+:align: center
+:class: rounded-img
+```
+
+2. The Catalog will automatically render a **Workflow Parameter Table** if your workflow repo contains a `workflow/schemas/config.schema.y(a)ml` or `config/schemas/config.schema.y(a)ml` ([details](docs/about/adding_workflows)). No need to manually maintain a table of parameters on your workflow page anymore.
