Changelog

Updates, changes, and improvements at Retool.

Refer to the stable and edge release notes for detailed information about self-hosted releases.

Retool has released several improvements to the README experience for web apps:

  • The README is now located at the top of the Pages or Screens list for easy access.
  • Cloud instances can now use AI to generate a README automatically based on the components and logic of your app.

Previously, app READMEs were found by clicking the title of the app. If your app has an existing README, you can now find it in the Pages tab.

note

To enable Result (sync) for Agents in self-hosted Retool version 3.284.0 or 3.284.1, reach out to your account manager.

In version 3.284.2, Result (sync) for Agents is available by default, and admins can disable it in Settings > Beta by toggling the Agent blocks in workflows sync mode feature flag.

You can now see the output of an agent run with the Result (sync) return type when using the Invoke Agent block in workflows.

  • The Result (sync) type is the default setting. This returns the direct result of the agent's output.
  • The Run state (async) type returns the agentRunId, agentId, and status only. It does not include the output of the agent.

Cloud customers on all plans can now submit breakage reports from inside the product to report regressions, breakages, and potential incidents on the Retool platform.

The breakage form is available by clicking Report a breakage from the following locations:

  • The Apps and Resources landing pages, by clicking the chat button on the bottom right corner of the screen.
  • The App IDE, by clicking the Help button in the status bar.
  • The resource configuration pages, by clicking the Help button in the status bar.
  • The Query Library, by clicking the Help button in the status bar.

After you submit a breakage report, you will receive a confirmation email with a ticket number.

The Fullstory integration for session replay is now generally available.

When enabled, data about user interactions with apps are reported directly to Fullstory for you to review in detail. You can then analyze app analytics, evaluate impact, and review interactions with session replay. This integration is useful for monitoring user activity across different apps, and using advanced analytical tools like heatmaps and funnels to identify usage patterns, debug errors, and improve the overall user experience.

Enterprise customers can send page load and query traces to Datadog and Sentry using Retool's performance monitoring integration, now in public beta. Customers can respond proactively to regressions and troubleshoot more quickly by creating dashboards and alerts to monitor the performance of their apps and use the spans themselves to help pinpoint where to take action if their apps are degraded.

Team plan users can now create public links to share apps externally. Anyone with a public link can access the app, so this option should only be used for apps that don’t require authentication or contain sensitive data. Public links were previously limited to the Business and Enterprise plans.

note

If your instance is self-hosted, reach out to your account manager or the support team and request access to public links.

You can now use the Copy as Markdown button on most pages of the Retool documentation to copy the contents of the page to your clipboard in Markdown format. This feature is intended to give you easy access to a version of the content that you can paste into an LLM for more accurate answers to questions about Retool.
