# Nextflow Summit 2024 Barcelona - MultiQC

> MultiQC: New features and flexible data parsing

This talk will introduce the latest features in MultiQC, designed to further streamline data reporting and visualisation in bioinformatics workflows. Alongside these updates, we’ll explore different approaches running for MultiQC: default CLI functionality, custom content files, writing custom plugins and using MultiQC as a library within Python scripts.

We'll show how to use this newly announced scripting ability to tweak how parsed data is processed: filtering results, adding additional columns to tables, and generating custom plots. These additions provide even greater flexibility in tailoring MultiQC to specific project needs.
