Changelog

Updates, changes, and improvements at Retool.

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

You can now create a README from the workflow IDE to help clarify important information about your workflow for collaborators. For example, if a workflow requires certain permissions on a resource, or if it's only scheduled to run once a week.

This feature is available on Retool Cloud and will be available in subsequent releases of self-hosted Retool. Reach out to your account manager to enable README for workflows.

This feature is also available for workflows protected with Source Control. To create a README, click the title of the workflow and add content to the Editor README field. READMEs are visible from the Edit workflow details dialog box, in workflows JSON exports, and in a markdown file from source control.

If you self-host Retool and are using a stable release, reach out to your account manager to enable Google Slides.

Retool now supports an integration to Google Slides, which utilizes the Google Slides API and the Google Drive API. Use this integration to retrieve, create, and update documents for apps, workflows, and agents.

This integration can also indirectly interact with the Google Sheets API. Charts from Google Sheets can be embedded into Google Slides.

Retool now supports Azure OpenAI for use with Assist. Admins on the Enterprise plan can configure Assist to use Azure OpenAI as the single model provider for Assist-powered interactions.

To enable the use of Azure OpenAI as a single model provider, reach out to your account manager.

Retool designed Assist to use two AI providers by default: OpenAI and Anthropic. Using both providers enables Assist to optimize for speed and quality. However, some customers may need to consolidate AI services with a single provider. To accommodate these customers, Enterprise organizations can configure Assist to work with a single provider.

Retool no longer supports Claude Sonnet 3.5. Claude Sonnet 4.5 will be used instead.

Retool no longer supports GPT 3.5 Turbo. GPT-4o-mini will be used instead.

Retool now supports Amazon Bedrock for use with Assist. Admins on the Enterprise plan can configure Assist to use Amazon Bedrock as the single model provider for Assist-powered interactions.

To enable the use of Amazon Bedrock as a single model provider, reach out to your account manager.

Retool released some updates and improvements to the Assist experience:

  • You can now prompt Assist to write a README for your app. When you're editing an existing app, Assist can also use information from existing READMEs to learn about the app context and improve the quality of changes.
  • Assist automatically names apps. When you use Assist to create a new app from a blank canvas, Assist provides a descriptive name.

These changes are live on Retool Cloud. Refer to the edge release notes for information about what features are available to self-hosted organizations.
