2026.11.02 Release release-2026-11-02

What’s New release-2026-11-02-what-is-new

  • Guided review of your migration plan: When planning finishes, the agent offers to Review scoping results. It first fixes clear issues itself, such as moving outliers, merging look-alike block variants, and correcting names, and tells you what it changed. It then walks you through the remaining decisions one at a time. Choose Autopilot at the start, or Finish for me on any step, to let it complete the review alone. Items it is still unsure about are left unchanged and flagged in its report. See Review the catalog.
  • Page limits for Auto mode migrations: Before you start an Auto mode migration, the page shows how many pages each migration can include for your account. If your account allows it, you can choose how many pages a full-site migration includes. See Auto mode limits.

Other Improvements release-2026-11-02-other-improvements

  • Chat, Home, and Settings now fit phone and tablet screens.
  • The chat input has been updated and keeps its existing features.
  • A Demo site button in the header now explains, before you start working, that work in the demo site isn’t saved. See Demo mode.
  • Planning progress now shows the current step.
  • Site discovery is more reliable.
  • Prompt hints no longer flag suggested prompts that you send unchanged or only extend. Rewording a suggestion triggers the usual checks.
  • Agent guidance uses plain language instead of internal migration terms.
  • Long task lists scroll within the chat, and you can expand or collapse the pending tasks.
  • Preview now uses the site configuration to find the correct code repository.
  • The agent recognizes requests to restore or preview a page in Experience Workspace (which replaces Document Authoring), and explains when writing to remote content is not allowed.
  • Conversations with many screenshots no longer fail. Older screenshots are shortened automatically.
  • Upload to AEM for AEM authoring projects fails less often.

2026.10.28 Release release-2026-10-28

What’s New release-2026-10-28-what-is-new

  • Plan your migration: Planning is available to all console users, with a new start screen, live discovery progress, and controls to stop and resume without starting over. See Site catalog.
  • Live page import status: Track each page’s import progress, open its preview from your migration plan, and generate code for only the blocks you select. See Bulk import.
  • Prompt hints and prompt recall: The console can suggest a clearer prompt before you send it, and you decide whether to use the hint. In an empty prompt input, use the up and down arrow keys to recall previous prompts. See Prompt input.

Other Improvements release-2026-10-28-other-improvements

  • Large projects stay responsive while you browse files, review changes, preview pages, and check sync status.
  • Page imports are more reliable and no longer save an access-error screen as the content of a page.
  • Sites that send large response headers now load in the preview.
  • Browser actions that stop responding now time out after ten minutes, so the agent can continue.
  • When you request support, you can include selected excerpts of the conversation.

2026.10.23 Release release-2026-10-23

What’s New release-2026-10-23-what-is-new

  • Improved site catalog: Cataloging breaks pages into the blocks that an author actually edits, groups pages with the same layout into one template, and checks the results after scoping. Block mapping uses visual analysis, which produces fewer variants, cleaner templates, and cleaner screenshots. Your manual splits and moves are kept when you run it again. See Site catalog.
  • Pull content from Experience Workspace: The Sync menu has a Pull section. Pull > Content downloads your pages from Experience Workspace (which replaces Document Authoring) over the workspace copies and keeps pages that exist only in the workspace. Pull > Code replaces the Pull button of the code view. See Sync menu.

Other Improvements release-2026-10-23-other-improvements

  • Pushing content shows a progress bar, and push and pull tell you when your Experience Workspace session has expired.
  • Local images in header and footer pages now upload to Experience Workspace correctly, and the upload tells you which images need fixing.
  • Uploads and Settings explain when your AEM environment is hibernated and link to the Developer Console.
  • Long tasks, such as generating code for many blocks, no longer fail to send, and very large workspaces no longer freeze.
  • When the agent uploads a page directly to Experience Workspace, the preview shows the same version.

2026.10.21 Release release-2026-10-21

What’s New release-2026-10-21-what-is-new

  • Support for the latest Edge Delivery Services content backend: You can upload, download, preview, and publish content on sites that use the latest content backend, and transfer Auto mode projects to them with Make it yours. See Make it yours.
  • Block confidence: The Blocks view of planning has a sortable Confidence column that shows which blocks need your review, and marks the blocks that you have confirmed. See Blocks table.

Other Improvements release-2026-10-21-other-improvements

  • Blocks with hundreds of instances open faster and load more instances as you scroll.
  • While the agent works, the chat shows an animated indicator with an elapsed time.
  • Work in progress resumes automatically after a service restart, and stopped tasks stay stopped.
  • Content edits stay in your workspace until you upload them or explicitly ask the agent to update Experience Workspace.
  • Saving agent permissions, site authentication, or credentials in Settings shows Applying… until the change takes effect. Signing out of GitHub fully revokes the agent’s access.

What’s New release-2026-10-16-what-is-new

  • Auto mode for sites that require sign-in: Auto mode can migrate sites that require sign-in, using a user name and password, a bearer token, or a custom header. The credentials are sent only to that site and are not stored. See Start with Auto mode.

Other Improvements release-2026-10-16-other-improvements
