Changelog

Updates, changes, and improvements at Retool.

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

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.

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 no longer supports the Llama 4 Maverick or Llama 4 Scout AI models in Retool AI. The Kimi K2 Instruct model will be used instead.

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.

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.
