Liz release note - October 2026

October 9, 2026

More from your DeepSource connection

Liz now brings in the findings from every DeepSource analysis run, along with code coverage, report trends and the analyzers available to your account. You can browse the findings on the Data page. The DeepSource connection card now shows whose token the connection uses and which DeepSource deployment it reaches.


October 8, 2026

Artifact links open the current version

Each artifact page now shows two links under the title. The Artifact link opens the current version of the artifact. The Link to this version opens the version you are reading, even after a later run replaces it. Links to artifacts that Liz shows in chat, search results and lists now use the Artifact link.


October 7, 2026

Slack replies addressed to a colleague

After someone mentions Liz in a Slack channel, Liz keeps reading that channel, for thirty minutes by default, and decides for each new message whether it is meant for Liz. Liz now stays quiet when a message is addressed to a colleague. This includes a reply that mentions a colleague in a thread where you are the only person who has written besides Liz. A direct message, or a message that mentions Liz, always gets an answer.

One-press approval in Ready for review

When your selection in Ready for review includes a change to a connected system, the Approve button now names what the selection will do, for example "update 1 Jira issue". One press sends the whole selection, and the separate "Approve and write" step is gone. This applies in the web app.


General improvements

• Liz now declines a request to rename a scorecard or report to a name that another one in your organization already has, and the conversation continues instead of failing
• Open review requests for conclusions that were replaced or removed now close on their own
• The Costs page now counts every web search Liz runs under Search, including searches made through the model provider that were not counted before, for organizations with cost visibility enabled
• Improved loading performance on the Claims list
• Liz now says a file exists only when it is the answer itself, which you can copy, or a saved artifact with a link


Security updates Routine security review and maintenance. No user action required.

Liz release note - September 2026

October 2, 2026

New Insights page

Insights is a new page that shows every report, scorecard and catalog in one grid. Each card carries a type label, and you can filter by type or switch to My insights. The page for changes waiting for your approval is now called Proposed actions.


September 30, 2026

Review everything waiting for you in one place

When Liz has several conclusions or changes waiting for your sign-off, they now appear together in one Ready for review block, in the web app and in Slack. You can approve or dismiss them all at once or pick out individual items. In the web app, approving or dismissing a conclusion, or dismissing a change, offers a five-second Undo. The page that lists proposed changes now lists waiting conclusions as well. When Liz proposes a plan with several changes, you can approve or dismiss each change on its own.

GitHub Copilot usage in Liz

Liz can now bring in your organization's GitHub Copilot usage and seat information. You can ask how Copilot is used across your teams and repositories. A GitHub organization owner first needs to grant the added permissions and turn on the Copilot metrics policy in GitHub. The GitHub connection card shows which permissions are already in place and which are still needed.


September 29, 2026

Data sources page

Connections and synced data now sit together on one page. Each connection has its own page with the provider's logo and a one-sentence status for each source it syncs. A note shows when the figures were last updated. The Jobs page shows what Liz is syncing now and what ran recently. It has moved to Settings and now has filters for connection, source and outcome.

Download artifacts

Each artifact page, where Liz keeps a saved conclusion, now has a Download menu beside Discuss. It offers a web page, a Markdown bundle, Print to PDF and Copy for the version you are reading.

Meeting transcripts as documents

You can now upload WebVTT transcript files as documents, or share them through Slack or Google Drive.


September 26, 2026

Playbooks are now Catalogs

The new name appears wherever playbooks appeared before. Links to playbooks open the matching catalog.

Standards for your scorecards, reports and catalogs

You can now ask Liz in chat to switch on rules that all your scorecards, reports and catalogs must follow, or to write your own. Each rule starts on audit, which records the result without changing the run. On warn, a run that misses a rule is marked degraded, with the rule named at the top. On deny, a run that cannot meet a rule reads Stopped before it started, with the reason. Each scorecard, report and catalog has a Standards section on its settings page that shows where it stands.


September 25, 2026

Salesforce records in Liz

Liz can now read the records of a connected Salesforce account, including accounts, contacts, opportunities, contracts, leads, campaigns, cases with their comments, tasks, events, notes and logged emails. You can ask Liz about them in chat, and search covers accounts, opportunities, leads, campaigns, cases and activities. A Liz administrator connects Salesforce after a Salesforce administrator creates a read-only integration user. The Salesforce connection card is compact, with one summary line and the full list of objects one click away.

Organize your sources into groups

You can ask Liz in chat to create groups, such as one per product, and to put your repositories, projects and channels into them. You can also ask Liz to move a repository to another group, to delete a group, and which records belong to each group.


General improvements

• A new browser tab now opens Liz in the organization you were last working in
• Each conclusion waiting for review now shows as a single card in a conversation
• The Google Drive connection card now shows the address to share your folders with
• Team members now see a plain message when a connection needs fixing
• Switch organization now shows each organization's full name


Security updates Strengthened the access checks on recently added features. No user action required.

Liz release note - September 2026

September 24, 2026

Rename and delete conversations

You can now rename or delete your conversations from the conversation list or from the conversation header. Anything a conversation produced stays in place after you delete it. If someone shares a conversation with you, you can give it your own name, or remove it from your list, without changing it for anyone else.

More of Liz inside Slack

When Liz suggests a conclusion in a Slack thread, a confirm or reject card appears in the thread, and your decision is recorded the same way it would be on the web. From a Slack channel, Liz can also run several analyses at once, check the status of your connected tools, and suggest setup steps.

Copy chat answers

Copying a chat answer now works the same way copying a report does. Charts paste as tables, each with a link back to the chart in Liz.

More DeepSource data in Liz

Liz now brings in more from your DeepSource connection: pull requests with their findings and how each finding was handled, dependency checks, and account-wide reports. Liz can also match these findings to the pull requests in your code host.


September 23, 2026

Redesigned scorecards and reports

Cards show each score with its trend, and an All / My switch lets you focus on your own. Each result page has a header that stays in view as you scroll, a picker for moving between recent runs, and one Download menu that holds every export option. Schedules now read in plain words and show their time zone. Pages adapt to phone screens.

New chat panel design

A new conversation opens with a greeting by your first name and the message box ready to type in. The Discuss button on a scorecard, report or playbook result now brings that exact result into the conversation.

Personalize your account

You can now choose Light, Dark or System appearance in your account settings. A new Profile section lets you update your name, job title and what you work on, all with one Save.


September 22, 2026

Liz reads more of what you share

Liz can now read text, Markdown and PDF files shared in Slack. It can also read the charts, diagrams and images inside word-processor documents and slide decks.

Change who can see a document after upload

Each document now shows who can see it, both in the document list and on the document's own page. You can change who can see it after uploading.


General improvements

• Fixed an issue where a proposed change could keep asking for a decision after one was made
• Liz can now read a finished scorecard or report in full when you ask about it in chat
• Saving a scorecard you built in chat now picks up work done anywhere in the conversation, not only in the latest message
• When a search filtered to one kind of record finds nothing, Liz now checks where matching records do exist before answering
• Liz checks requests to connected outside tools before sending them, and explains any problem
• Fixed an issue that stopped code investigations from running
• Azure DevOps repositories that are disabled or moved are now labeled and paused instead of failing
• Fixed an issue where syncing history from very large DeepSource accounts could stall
• The change summary on a proposed action now wraps long values instead of scrolling sideways
• Liz's documentation now has page navigation, an "on this page" outline, and previous and next links


Security updates Patched 5 issues in the controls that limit which data people and Liz can see. No user action required.

September 17, 2026

Download reports and scorecards

You can now download any report or scorecard result as a Markdown file, a web page, or a PDF, or copy it to your clipboard.

Retry a failed answer

If an answer in chat fails, you can now retry it right from the conversation. Liz resends the message you sent.

Resizable chat panel

You can now drag the edge of the chat panel to make it wider or narrower.


September 16, 2026

Easier-to-read charts

Charts in Liz now adjust to their data so labels stay readable: long names wrap, and crowded charts change layout instead of overlapping.

Numbers you can check

Key numbers in Liz's answers now show what they measure and what they are out of, right where they appear.


September 15, 2026

Rate Liz's answers

Every answer in chat now has a thumbs up and thumbs down, with an optional comment. This will help us incorporate your feedback directly into our product. 

Four-level scorecard bands

Scorecards now use four color bands, giving a finer read on where a score sits. You can set the band thresholds yourself. If you leave one unset, Liz works it out from the ones you did set.


September 12, 2026

ClickUp tasks and docs are searchable

ClickUp tasks and documents connected to Liz are now indexed for search. Liz can find and cite them in chat answers alongside your other connected sources.


General improvements

• Fixed an issue where a narrow column in a chat table could shrink to a single character
• "Discuss" now opens a new conversation instead of adding to the one already open
• Reports can now open with either a headline or a short caption
• Old links to the home page now go to Liz's front page instead of a "not found" page
• When Liz reads your source code and cannot verify any of its findings, it now reports the read as failed
• The company size field in your organization profile now counts all employees, not just engineers
• Asking Liz to run the same scorecard twice in one message now returns the first result instead of starting a second run
• ClickUp connections are no longer marked as having a bad sign-in when a single item cannot be opened
• Repositories hosted in Azure DevOps can now be selected when setting up a code-quality connection
• Repositories with spaces in their names now work when Liz reads code


Security updates Patched 1 issue in the controls that limit which data Liz can read during analysis. No user action required.

Liz release note - September 2026

September 11, 2026

Live progress while Liz works

Liz now tells you what it is doing the moment it starts each step, instead of after the whole answer finishes. Chat also survives a dropped connection, and a conversation waiting on a long-running step still accepts new messages.

ClickUp integrated

Connect a ClickUp workspace and Liz reads your tasks, comments, sprints, dependencies, task types, group assignees and how long work has sat in each status, along with ClickUp Docs as readable records.

Google Drive integrated

Share a Google Drive shared drive, or a folder from your own Drive, with Liz and its files become sources Liz can read and cite. Those files get the same understanding as a document you upload by hand.

Figures and diagrams read in more documents

Liz now reads the charts, diagrams and page layouts inside a document whatever route that document arrived by, not only files uploaded by hand. Answers that depend on what a figure shows are available across more of your material.

Slack attachments are searchable

Files shared in Slack are now recorded with the message that carried them, so Liz can name what a message included. A post whose content is entirely an attachment now appears in search instead of being invisible.

September 10, 2026

Runs report back into the conversation that started them

Start a scorecard, report or playbook run from chat and its result is announced back in that same conversation when it finishes. You no longer have to go looking for it.

Confirmation cards appear without a refresh

When Liz prepares a change for you to approve, the confirmation card now appears straight away, including when several changes are grouped into one decision. Previously some cards only appeared after reloading the page.

September 9, 2026

Build and pipeline history from GitHub Actions

Liz now reads GitHub Actions workflow runs and jobs, including the output of failed jobs, and connects each run to the commit and pull request it belongs to. Questions about build failures, repeat failures and pipeline health can now be answered for GitHub repositories.

Web search with cited evidence

Liz can search the web during a conversation and keep what it finds as stored evidence, so a conclusion can cite the page it came from and that citation still resolves later. Administrators choose and test the search source for their organization in settings, with a clear message shown when it is switched off.

Patent and public filing lookups

Liz can now look up patents, patent status and assignments, and public company filings, and record what it finds as cited evidence alongside web results. Useful for diligence questions that turn on what a company has filed publicly.

September 8, 2026

Direct links to any record

Typing or pasting the address of a scorecard, report or playbook now takes you straight to that record, and references to records in chat appear as their proper titles with working links. An address that matches nothing shows a clear not-found page instead of an error.

Data page shows how current its figures are

The Data page now states the age of what it is showing and no longer stacks repeated refreshes on top of each other, so it stays responsive while sync work is running.

September 5, 2026

Liz proposes what to sync when you connect a system

After you connect a system, Liz reads what is available and suggests which repositories, projects or channels to sync. One button opens the picker with those choices already staged, and nothing changes until you confirm there. Administrators can also switch off a specific kind of data for a single connection, and that choice holds for anything discovered later.

Connections recover on their own

A sync that outlives its credential now renews it and carries on instead of failing. A target that has genuinely gone away, moved or been refused is paused after repeated failures with the reason shown on the connection card, and a disconnected connection's work is held and resumes when you reconnect. New connections also register everything they can reach before pulling history, so answers start arriving sooner.

General improvements

• Connected outside systems now show when each of their tools was last used, so unused connections are easy to spot
• Records now show who created them, and each run shows who started it
• The Costs page now reports searches as their own line rather than folding them into other activity
• Invitation, password reset and email confirmation links now open in the right place in Liz
• The Scopes and visibility help page now explains what restricting a source does to Liz's answers, scorecards, reports and playbooks, and when each change takes effect
• Patent and public filing lookups now distinguish "no results" from "the request failed", so an empty answer is never mistaken for a working lookup


Security updates Patched 2 issues in the controls that keep each organization's data separated during automated analysis. Added sign-in alerting and a per-account record of every sign-in, covering password, two-step and invitation sign-ins. No user action required.

Liz release note - September 2026


September 3, 2026

Spend tracking and organization spending limits

Liz keeps a running record of what your organization spends, broken down so you can see where it goes. You can set a warning threshold and a hard limit: Liz tells you when spending approaches the warning point, and stops further spend once the hard limit is reached.

Approval requests in Slack no longer go missing

When Liz drafts a change to a connected system, it asks you to approve it first. If the approval card cannot be displayed in Slack, Liz now posts a plain notice that an approval is waiting, so nothing sits pending without you knowing.

August 28, 2026

A new version of Liz

Liz has a new interface. Your chat, your insights, your connected data sources and your organization's settings now sit together in one place, and a side chat-panel you can bring the agent everywhere in-app. 

Liz now works from a single connected record of your systems and keeps the context you have already given her, so answers build on what came before instead of starting from nothing in every conversation.

The new version is rolling out one organization at a time. While your organization is moving across, the previous version stays available, so nothing you rely on stops working during the change.

General improvements

• Records that Liz mentions now show their title rather than an identifier, both in chat and in Slack
• Fixed a reply in Slack that could stop part-way through and never deliver the finished answer
• Chat no longer shows duplicate messages after a background investigation finishes
• Fixed a queued-work list on the status view that briefly showed empty while work was being picked up

• When Liz works through a multi-step question, progress can now appear as a brief status line instead of the full reasoning stream, with full details available on request

August 5, 2026

Cleaner chat exports

Exported chat messages now contain only the substantive content of the conversation. Conversational framing such as word counts and formatting instructions is automatically removed from Markdown, PDF, and email exports, so documents are ready to share without manual editing.

August 3, 2026

Improved Slack, Teams, and MCP responses

Liz's Slack, Teams, and MCP bots now deliver only the final answer. Extra text that could occasionally appear alongside responses has been removed.

Teams channel permissions

The Teams bot now respects channel-level permissions configured by organization admins. Liz only responds in channels that have been explicitly enabled, matching the behavior already available for Slack.

August 1, 2026

Linear issues in search

Liz now includes Linear issues in search results alongside Jira tickets. Queries about Linear projects surface relevant issues directly in chat responses.

General improvements

• Fixed an issue where pressing Stop during a chat response could cause the message to appear twice
• Improved the layout of the document upload dialog
• Fixed an issue that could prevent Zoom meeting transcripts and summaries from processing
• Preset Insights can now be set to recalculate at a specific time of day
• Spend limits are now enforced on document and chat attachment uploads, and on the Slack, Teams, and MCP bot surfaces, closing gaps where these paths could bypass an account's spend cap

Liz release note - July 2026

July 31, 2026

Liz in Microsoft Teams

You can now work with Liz directly in Microsoft Teams, in the channels your organization chooses to enable. When a conversation starts from Teams, Liz carries the context with it — showing the channel it came from, a link back to the original thread, and the opening message.

Preset insight shortcuts in chat

You can now type /pi or /preset-insight directly in chat to pull up any preset insight without leaving your conversation.

General improvements

• Chat sessions now display a descriptive title immediately based on your opening message, with no visible delay
• The cost control dashboard now includes a group-by option for more flexible cost categorization
