The new Linting and Performance tools, available within Debug Tools in the App IDE, provide additional methods for debugging and optimizing apps.

Linting​

The option to password-protect public apps will no longer be available from February 18, 2024. To create a radically better experience in building authenticated Retool apps for external users, we’ve recently introduced Retool Portals, Retool Embed and Retool Forms.

Any existing public apps with password protection will remain protected. Should we decide to make any further changes to password protection, Retool will provide at least six months notice.

The new Button column type in the Table component is now available. When enabled, column values render as a button. This allows you to add buttons to trigger actions, queries, and open links using a button.

The Phone Number Input component for web apps is now available. It automatically formats phone numbers, includes a country selector with international dialing code, and can perform validation based on the selected country. The default country is derived from the user's IP address.

A new version of the Key Value component is available on Retool Cloud and self-hosted deployments running Retool 3.22 or later. It contains a number of improvements over the previous component:

• Automatically reflects changes whenever the data source changes.
• Added support for event handlers.
• Various styling improvements.

Retool organization users on the Business or Enterprise plan have the option to apply custom themes on a per-app basis. Previously, app themes were only available globally and required administrator access. App-level themes apply only to the current app. If your organization does not have access to org-level themes, you can still set a custom app theme.

We've also added some expanded typography settings. You can set custom typefaces and font sizes. Not all custom typefaces may work with the line heights used in Retool apps (generally 1em-1.5em).

You can now search for all code within a Retool app, from resource queries and component properties to preloaded JavaScript and CSS. Code search can instantly search for case or exact word matches, and supports regular expressions for fine-tuned searches.

A visually refreshed component library is currently available as an opt-in beta for cloud-hosted organizations. It contains minor style changes to many components, such as:

• An updated color palette.
• Changes to the active and hover state appearance for buttons and inputs.
• Removing borders on input attachments and buttons.
• Fixing inconsistencies with component spacing, font weight, border radius, etc.
• A new look for the Tab and Navigation components.

Any style overrides you've made will still be retained.

You can create custom URLs for web apps to make them more discoverable and easier to share with end users. With a custom URL set, end users can access apps at {domain}/app/{custom-url} or {domain}/p/{custom-url} if it's a public app.
