[Read the docs.](https://docs.convex.dev/production/integrations/log-streams/#securing-webhook-log-streams) ## 👁️ Hide Columns in the Dashboard There is a new menu in the dashboard *Data* page to reorder and hide columns. This is useful for projects that have a table with a lot of columns. [Check it out in the dashboard.](http://dashboard.convex.dev/deployment/data) ## ✨ Convex ESLint plugin The Convex ESLint rules are now out of beta. They enforce best practices for writing Convex code. We recommend setting them up in your projects. [Check out the docs.](https://docs.convex.dev/eslint) ## 💎 Zod 4 Support in convex-helpers The [Zod helpers in convex-helpers](https://github.com/get-convex/convex-helpers/blob/main/packages/convex-helpers/README.md#zod-validation) now support Zod 4. Zod 4’s Codecs feature makes it easy to serialize/deserialize function arguments and return values, as well as database values.
