Changelog

Updates, changes, and improvements at Retool.

Retool recently made changes that make it easier to review changes in source control. Retool now separates system-generated updates related to version upgrades into their own migration commit, so your pull requests are cleaner and easier to understand.

This feature is generally available on Retool Cloud. It is available in private beta to Self-hosted Retool organizations on edge version 3.203.0-edge or later, and will be generally available in an upcoming stable release. Self-hosted Retool organizations can reach out to support to enable this feature.

What's new

Instead of bundling migration changes with user changes, they now appear in a dedicated commit.

No setup needed—this happens automatically when you make commits.

This migration commit is required to ensure compatibility with the latest Retool features. Please do not revert or modify it.

Retool now supports an integration to the Tavily Search API. Use this integration to perform either general or news-specific web searches. You can choose to provide your own Tavily API key if you do not want to be subject to Retool's rate limits (100 calls per 24 hours) on Tavily.

An improved version of the File Input component for Mobile is currently available on Retool Cloud and on Self-hosted Retool 3.168.0 or later.

This includes:

  • Multi-file support – Users can now upload multiple files at once instead of being limited to a single file.
  • Blob URL exposure – The component now exposes blob URLs to the value property in the component state.

Improvements to source control on Workflows are now generally available on Self-hosted Retool 3.200.0-edge and in the upcoming stable release. The following features are now supported for all users on Enterprise plans:

Retool made several improvements to the usage of Source Control with Retool Workflows. The following features are now supported on Enterprise plans:

  • Branched changes. You can now make changes to workflows using branches. Previously, all Source Control changes on workflows were branchless.
  • Multi-element branching. You can make edits to workflows on the same branch as edits to apps, modules, and Query Library queries.
  • Collaborative branches. Multiple users can commit changes and merge pull requests on collaborative branches.

This feature was previously released as generally available on Retool Cloud and as private beta for Self-hosted organizations.

Retool can record user behavior and interactions with apps using Fullstory. 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.
