Have a way to see information about an experiment (or many?) by hovering / clicking on them

Based on user feedback. If there are two many parameters, table becomes too long and it's hard to navigate it. It's a usual story for a repo like YOLO.

We need a way for users to be able to see a preview of an experiment, or some summary etc.

It reminds me the compare panel in Studio (table pivot), we can take that an idea (multiple experiments, pivot, highlight differences, etc), but we need a better UX for that + I think we can do better tooltips, etc.

As an idea for UX - can we use the preview panel in VS Code for this? (besides tooltips).

I think that some way of moving columns/groups of columns to the left of the table might be low-hanging fruit. I think we also need a way to make this quick pick more obvious/get people to use it:

We could expand on the "leaderboard" idea/usage from #4269 and show a condensed version of the table that can be sorted by not only columns but a formula. We would have to limit the number of columns that can be shown to < 20 or users would run into the same issue. The main difference would be that records would be shown outside of the usual commit/experiment hierarchy.

#1994 would also be a potential solution for this issue (or at least help with the problem).

• Followup if user was aware about DnD cc @shcheklein
• Check other trackers - how do they show / do they show this information?
