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.

Liz release note - September 2026

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

Liz release note - August 2026

General improvements

• Tables throughout Liz now appear with an updated, more consistent design
• 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


Security updates Enforced registered-user verification across all messaging bot surfaces, closing a gap that allowed unregistered users to receive responses. No user action required.

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

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

July 24, 2026

Direct Ticket Creation

When you give Liz an explicit instruction to create a single Jira ticket, it now does so immediately and reports the result. Previously, even clear create requests were routed through a draft-and-confirm step. The confirmation flow still applies when you ask Liz to draft or review a ticket first, or when the request involves multiple tickets, an ambiguous project, or insufficient detail to form a complete ticket.

July 20, 2026

Confluence Comments from Chat

Liz can now post comments on Confluence pages directly from the conversation, including replies with quoted context and @-mentions, with a confirmation step before publishing.

Document Type Classification

The upload dialog for business context documents now includes a Classification section. You can optionally assign one or more nodes to a document and then tag it with types, including custom types you enter yourself. Assigned types appear as labels in the documents table, so you can see at a glance how each document is categorized.

Full-File Analysis for Large Documents

Liz now processes the entire uploaded document rather than partial excerpts when answering quantitative questions about large files like CSVs.

General improvements

• Made data exploration — deeper analytical questions across your connected data, including aggregations, cross-referencing, and trend analysis — available to every organization rather than a subset of accounts.
• Added support for uploading HTML files as business context documents or chat attachments.
• Fixed an issue where Liz referenced file paths or claimed that output was saved or downloaded to a location outside the chat. Large results such as tables and data exports are delivered directly in the conversation.
• Fixed an issue where chat sessions occasionally appeared empty on the first visit to the homepage.
• Fixed an issue where resuming a previous conversation and sending a new message did not automatically scroll to the latest reply.
• Replaced the generic error shown when a Slack connection expires or is revoked with a specific prompt to reconnect Slack in Settings.
• Fixed the "Skip for now" option on the tool-connection step during onboarding, which previously left users stuck on the same step.
• Fixed chat file uploads failing when the filename contains special characters.
• Corrected the Spending Details description to accurately list "date" and "user" as the available filters, removing references to filter options that do not exist.
• Corrected the spending badge in the user menu to display usage against the lockdown cap instead of the lower warning cap.
• Clarified the action button on the spending lockdown banner, which now reads "Temporarily disable until next month" — the previous label implied the lockdown would be removed permanently.


Security updates Patched known vulnerabilities across container base images, backend runtime, and frontend dependencies, including a Node.js runtime update. All remediations were identified and prioritized through automated vulnerability scanning. No user action required.

July 16, 2026

Document classification and freshness tracking

Business Context Documents can now be organized with categories and document types, making it easier to find and manage uploaded materials. Each document also shows a freshness indicator so teams can quickly spot content that may need updating.

Large file analysis in chat

Liz can now reliably analyze large structured files — such as CSV exports and JSON datasets — attached directly in chat. Previously, very large files could cause processing interruptions; they are now handled smoothly.

July 15, 2026

A unified foundation for search

We've rebuilt how Liz searches across your connected sources — documents, Jira, GitHub, and Zoom transcripts now flow through a single, unified search layer. This foundational upgrade means faster, more consistent, and more relevant results as Liz finds and connects information across everything you've connected.

General improvements

• Improved breadcrumb navigation and page header consistency across Settings pages
• Confluence connections now automatically recover from certain configuration changes, reducing manual reconnection steps
