Changelog

Updates, changes, and improvements at Retool.

Tags

This change is available on Retool Cloud, and Self-hosted Retool version 3.284.0 and later.

To enable Source Control for Agents in version 3.284.0 or 3.284.1, reach out to your account manager.

In version 3.284.2, Source Control for Agents is available by default, and admins can disable it in Settings > Beta by toggling the AI Agents Source Control feature flag.

You can protect an agent with Source Control from the dropdown next to the agent name, or from the dropdown on the All agents page.

Source Control for agents operates similarly to how it does for apps, but with some key differences.

  • Agents cannot be moved or renamed. Protected agents and the folders in which they're located cannot be renamed or moved. You must unprotect agents before making name or location changes. Protected agents must have a unique name.
  • Agent triggers cannot be protected. You can edit the trigger of a protected agent without creating a commit.
  • Evals and Datasets are incompatible. You cannot access evals and datasets from a protected agent.

Self-hosted Retool 3.284 is now available on the Stable release channel. Retool encourages prompt upgrades to each Stable version once it is released to ensure that your deployment stays secure and up-to-date.

This release is off-cycle, and it is intended to bring Assist to self-hosted organizations that prefer to use the Stable channel. The next Stable release will occur at the end of Q4 2025, and Stable releases will continue quarterly thereafter.

Retool supports each Stable release for six months. During this time, Retool will release patch updates that contain bug fixes or security updates. Patch updates do not contain functionality changes and can be applied more quickly than performing a full version upgrade.

After six months, a Stable release is considered deprecated. You can continue using a deprecated release but it will no longer receive updates. At this time, you should upgrade to the latest Stable release.

Retool provides versioned product documentation for supported Stable releases. When browsing Retool Docs, use the version dropdown menu in the navbar to switch to a relevant version.

Enterprise customers can now use Source Control to protect workflow triggers. This prevents changes to a workflow's triggers without review. When you protect a workflow for the first time, triggers are now automatically included.

To enable protected workflow triggers, navigate to Settings > Beta, and enable Allow users to edit triggers on branches.

For workflows that are already protected, you now have the option to protect triggers using a new PR.

Once protected, triggers are versioned and published alongside each release. Information about your triggers is stored in the triggers.yml file in your Source Control repository.

This change is currently rolling out on Retool Cloud and will be available in a subsequent edge release.

Tags

Users can now modify the order of pages in multipage apps. In the Pages tab in the left panel of the app IDE, users can sort pages relative to each other using drag-and-drop.

Changes to the page order are immediately reflected in the page menu (and in header and sidebar frames if present). The retoolContext.pages Javascript variable also provides the list of pages in order.

This change is currently live on cloud and will be available in an upcoming edge release.

Retool is excited to announce Assist, your AI-powered partner for app development. Prompt Assist with natural language directly from the app IDE to generate apps, make changes to existing apps, and ask questions about Retool.

Assist can:

  • Generate full-stack apps from a prompt using your live production data. Retool scaffolds apps based on your real databases and resources.
  • Respect all existing org policies by default—SSO, role-based access control, and data-level permissions. Apps remain secure and access-controlled without any manual configuration.
  • Edit components, queries, and styles of your existing apps.
  • Answer questions about an existing app, including about the purpose of the app and how it works. Assist can also answer questions about Retool in general.
  • Deploy AI-generated apps to production without leaving Retool. Hosting, versioning, and monitoring are built-in for cloud and self-hosted deployments.

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.
  • You 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.
