Latest (29 July 2026) update for StataNow

[Kristin MacDonald (StataCorp)]

A new update to StataNow 19 is now available (as of 29 July 2026). This update includes new features for DID with switching treatments, spatial error covariance structures for multilevel models, frames in the Data Editor, and more. You can read about all of the new features in our latest blog post.

The frames in Data Editor is such a great feature - really cool. But if I change the frame this frame is not automatically displayed in Data Editor. May it possible to add a feature like

cwf frame, browse

that would display the frame in the Data Editor. And this should not stop do-files.

[James Hassell (StataCorp)]

Marc Kaulisch you can do it with the existing frame-prefix syntax.

frame <framename> : browse

Use the frame prefix if you don't want to change the current working frame. And if you've already switched frames using cwf, then you don't need the frame prefix, simply use a separate browse command.

FWIW, in my workflow, when I do change frames, it is just as likely that I want the browser to continue to show the previous working frame. So having the ability to do it either as proposed in #2 or as demonstrated in #3 is, I think the best way to do things, not having the browser change the displayed frame by default.
