Changelog

Updates, changes, and improvements at Retool.

Tags

Resources now have additional permission levels. This make it easier to build apps with sensitive data in a secured way.

  • The Use permission grants users permission run queries on a given resource. This means administrators can now control access to sensitive resources without needing to control access to different apps.
  • For Retool organizations on the Enterprise plan, resource permissions can also be granted at the environment level.

  • Changes to the active and hover state appearance for buttons and inputs.
  • Removing borders on input attachments and buttons.
  • Fixing inconsistencies with component spacing, font weight, border radius, etc.
  • A new look for the Tab and Navigation components.

Any style overrides you've made will still be retained.

Custom URLs for web apps

You can create custom URLs for web apps to make them more discoverable and easier to share with end users. With a custom URL set, end users can access apps at {domain}/app/{custom-url} or {domain}/p/{custom-url} if it's a public app.

We're releasing a new wave of Retool platform capabilities to provide greater flexibility and governance over how you organize your teams, secure your data, delegate permissions, and more.

We're going even further on foundational platform features (SSO, RBAC, environments, Source Control, audit logs, and multiple hosting options), adding:

  • Spaces: Independent workspaces for teams to manage their own apps, permissions, resources, connections, and git repos—all while sharing core infrastructure with other teams.
  • Platform APIs Programmatically manage the Retool platform with robust API endpoints to manage workspaces, provision users, assign permissions, organize apps, and more.
  • Extended permissions: Grant data-level access permissions for resources in each environment, ensuring that applications built in Retool are secure by default
  • Orchestrated governance: Create automated workflows and alerts that trigger whenever users are created, sign up, request access, and more.
