Retool now supports Amazon SNS. You can use the Amazon SNS integration in apps and workflows to publish messages to a topic. Once configured, you can subscribe to the topic using Amazon SQS, enabling you to use Retool's SQS integration to respond to events as they occur.

Retool now supports Amazon SQS. You can use the Amazon SQS integration in Retool Apps and Retool Workflows to send, receive, and delete messages from a queue. This integration enables you to respond to events as they occur, triggering changes and actions in your workflows or apps.

Retool now supports Apache Kafka. You can use the Kafka integration in apps and workflows to produce, consume, or commit messages to a topic. This integration enables you to respond to events as they occur, triggering changes and actions in your workflows or apps.

Multipage apps contain pages to combine functionality and use cases. Standard Retool apps operate as single-page applications where all code and components is continually evaluated. Multipage apps are also supported by Retool Mobile where each screen functions as a separate page.

With multipage apps, Retool only evaluates the code and components of the page currently in view. The benefits of multipage apps include:

• Greater performance of large and complex apps. Since Retool only evaluates code and components for the current page, multipage apps are 30-40% faster than a single-page app.
• Seamless navigation between pages. Retool loads the complete app state whenever a user navigates to a single-page app. With multipage apps, navigation between pages is seamless and more responsive.
• Improved app management. Multipage apps can replace multiple apps in your organization, such as a team's frequently used apps. This reduces the number of apps to maintain and allows for easier permission management.
• Reduced module dependency. Modules are commonly used to create shared navigation menus across multiple single-page apps. With multipage apps, you can eliminate the need for additional modules and the complexities with maintaining them.

Each multipage app uses global and page scopes to separate pages. Globally scoped code, and Header and Sidebar frames, are available for use across every page, while each page has its own page-scoped code and components.

You can request access to the multipage app beta and explore the docs to learn more.

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.

You can now connect your organizations to Sentry or Datadog for error monitoring. App errors will be reported with a callstack and descriptive tags when viewing and interacting with an app in preview or public (end-user) mode.

Subfolder organization of apps is now available as a public beta. You can create nested folders for more granular organization and permissions of Retool apps.

Organization admins can enable or disable subfolders in the Advanced settings section of the organization settings page.

Custom product pages allow organizations on the Business plan and above to replace Retool's login, reset password, signup, and invitation claims pages with custom Retool web apps.

This feature is currently an early access beta. Contact your account manager or reach out to request access.

Custom component libraries is the new approach to building custom React components for web apps. Previously, custom components were built directly within the App IDE. With custom component libraries, you can now build components locally in your development environment, then deploy to Retool. After deploying, you can drag and drop components into apps as you would any other component.

Custom components are contained within libraries, and each library has a unique name. Custom components deployed to Retool are automatically shown in the Component Library.

Custom Python libraries for Retool Workflows is now available as a public beta. You can add one of the built-in Python libraries or provide a custom list of libraries and versions.
