Changelog

Updates, changes, and improvements at Retool.

Enable or disable WidgetGrid from the status bar.

Retool is currently working on a new layout architecture, WidgetGrid, that significantly improves the performance of the canvas. Placement and arrangement of components, such as dragging to reposition, is up to 50% more responsive.

WidgetGrid is currently rolling out to cloud-hosted organizations as an opt-in beta and will be available in the next Edge release of self-hosted Retool. You can enable WidgetGrid from the status bar when viewing or editing an app. You can disable WidgetGrid at any time and provide feedback about any issues you experienced.

Multiplayer provides real-time collaborative editing that allows users to see what each other is working on and reflect changes as soon as they're made. It's best suited for development teams who work on different areas of an app independently.

Multiplayer is available on Retool Cloud and as a private beta for self-hosted organizations.

We've released a new version of the Tags web component that includes many of the features available in other components. This includes:

  • Manual or mapped options for defining tags.
  • Greater customization options with per-tag settings for icon, color, and value.
  • Event handlers for click actions.

The previous version of Tags is still available as a deprecated component and any existing apps that use it will continue to do so. You must update any existing apps if you want to make use of the new version.

The new Tags component is available on Retool Cloud and the latest edge release of self-hosted Retool.
