Google Search Console rolling out new date controls for performance reports

This includes a new hourly view of the data.

Google Search Console is rolling out a new date picker for the performance reports. This replaces the old performance report menu, where it showed a date selector, search type, and additional filters. Now it lets you quickly jump to 24-hour view, 7 days, 28 days, 3 months and more, plus the search type filter and additional filters.

This seems to be rolling out now, not everyone sees it yet.

What it looks like. Here is a screenshot I snapped of my corporate site:

This is what the old/current version looks like:

24-hour view. There is also this 24-hour view that shows you data by hour:

Gsc 24 Hour Picker

Why we care. This may give you additional insights into your data, especially the 24 hours view that shows you data by hour. Also, there was a weird date picker bug over the past few days, that may have been related to this rollout and hopefully will be resolved by this.

Update. This took a day longer to go live, but Google announced it the following day:
