Liz release note - May 2026

May 22, 2026

Native table rendering in Slack

Tables in Liz's Slack replies now display as clean, formatted table blocks instead of monospace code. Responses containing tables are split into readable segments, and tables exceeding Slack's size limits are automatically uploaded as a file so nothing is lost.

May 21, 2026

Liz now connects to Confluence. Admins can search and select which spaces Liz can access, with personal spaces excluded by default.

May 20, 2026

May 19, 2026

Context management from chat

Organization settings, product group configuration, and personal preferences can now be viewed and updated directly in chat. Owners can modify organization-level and product group context, while any user can update their own personal preferences, all without leaving the conversation.

A new step in the onboarding flow lets users select their role during setup. This enables more relevant defaults and a personalized starting experience from the first session.

May 18, 2026

• Improved chat scroll-to-bottom button visibility and color contrast for accessibility
• Simplified page navigation by removing accordion controls and flattening the tab structure
• Upload button added to the navigation bar for quicker access to document management
• Clearer error messages when document uploads fail, with structured summaries for multiple errors
• Failed document uploads now show a retry button so users can re-attempt without re-selecting files

• Fixed a display issue with upload summary alert messages
• Warning notification with retry option now appears when a chat message fails to send

Customizable email forwarding address

Your organization's email ingest address is now shorter and the handle portion is editable. Validation prevents conflicts if another organization has already claimed a handle.

Liz release note - March 2026

March 27

Azure DevOps support in Liz Chat

Liz now works with Azure DevOps repositories. Ask about commits, pull requests, and code the same way you already can with other connected repositories. Product groups display repositories from all connected providers, grouped by type.

March 26

Linear integration expansion

Executive insights and daily messages are now available for organizations using Linear — previously limited to those on Jira. Ticket quality scores can be filtered by cycle and project milestone, matching sprint-level filtering already available for Jira. Additional chat query capabilities for Linear close remaining feature gaps with the Jira experience.
