← Back to Changelog

New Features:

  • Request Documentation via PR Comments: @mention Promptless in a comment on any source PR to request documentation updates. Works on open, draft, merged, and closed PRs—useful when you want to document a PR that predates your trigger setup or provide specific instructions about what to document.
  • Starlight (Astro) Docs Platform Support: Promptless now supports Starlight, the Astro-based documentation framework, as a hosting provider option during onboarding. Starlight is automatically detected via astro.config.mjs, astro.config.ts, or astro.config.js files in your docs repository.
  • First-Approval GitHub PR Trigger Mode: Configure Promptless to trigger when a pull request receives its first approval instead of when it opens—useful for teams that want documentation suggestions only after code has been reviewed.
  • Process Recent Commits for GitHub Commit Triggers: When creating a project with a GitHub commit trigger, you can now enable “Process last 30 days of commits” to generate initial documentation suggestions from your commit history—useful for teams using commit triggers or repositories without PR workflows.
  • Multi-Org GitHub Connect: Connect multiple GitHub organizations to a single Promptless account. After linking your first org, a “Connect another GitHub Org” option appears in settings. Each org’s integration can be managed and disconnected independently. Repos from all connected orgs appear in project dropdowns, prefixed with the org name (e.g., acme/docs) for easy disambiguation.

Improvements:

  • GitHub Issue Trigger Feedback: When you tag @Promptless in a GitHub issue, you now see a 👀 reaction to acknowledge the request, a helpful comment if no pipelines match, and result comments posted directly to the issue.
  • Improved Comment Visibility in Suggestion Review: Comments are now easier to find and manage. Each file displays a “Show N Comment(s)” toggle to quickly reveal inline comments, and overall comments appear in a compact expandable row at the top of the Review tab.
  • Self-Serve Doc Collection Editing: Edit doc collection settings directly in the dashboard without contacting support. Click the edit button on any doc collection card to update the docs framework, config path, published URL, Vale config, and Doc Detective settings.
  • PR Replay Status on Project Cards: During project setup when you opt into replaying the last 30 days of PRs, the Projects page now shows replay progress directly on the project card.
  • GitHub Enterprise Source PR Comments: Promptless now posts source PR comments on GitHub Enterprise pull requests, linking documentation suggestions back to the original code PR that triggered them.
  • Faster Diff Rendering: Suggestion page diffs now load faster. Internal improvements batch multiple file fetches into a single request, reducing load times when viewing diffs with many changed files.
  • Faster Agent Knowledge Base: The Agent Knowledge Base tab in Settings now loads faster. Previously, opening the tab and viewing files required multiple repository clones—now file browsing and content loading use the GitHub API directly.
  • Notification Tips: Slack suggestion notifications and GitHub PR comments now include tips at the bottom—quick hints like “Sort by Shortest Review in the Dashboard to find quick wins” to help you discover Promptless features and workflows.
  • Assignee-Aware Weekly Digest: The weekly digest now highlights suggestions assigned to team members. Assigned suggestions appear first in the summary with assignee information displayed on each row, and a new “View assigned suggestions” button links directly to a filtered dashboard view—helping prevent assigned work from getting lost in the collection backlog.

Bug Fixes:

  • Citation Popup Rendering: Fixed citation popups incorrectly rendering file paths like __init__.py as bold text by treating double underscores as markdown syntax.
  • Screenshot Editor Crop UX: Fixed the screenshot editor not applying crops correctly—added Reset and Cancel controls.
  • Slack Diff Thread Failures: Fixed failures when posting diff threads to Slack channels—error messages now clearly indicate when Slack permissions are missing.
  • Source PR Comment Suppression: Fixed an issue where Promptless could still post comments on source code PRs even when organizations had configured the comment suppression option. The setting is now properly respected.
  • Slack Diff File Uploads After Merge: Fixed a race condition where diff file uploads in Slack notifications would silently fail when a docs PR branch was auto-deleted by GitHub after merge.
  • Screenshot Login with Environment Variables: Fixed screenshots failing to authenticate when using customer environment.
  • Doc Sync for Large PRs: Fixed doc sync silently syncing only partial files when PRs had more than 300 changed files—large PRs now sync correctly.
  • Stale Suggestion Cleanup: Fixed stale suggestion cleanup unexpectedly closing customer docs PRs—suggestions with open PRs are now preserved.
  • Archiving Soon Badge Accuracy: Fixed the “Archiving soon” badge and digest warnings using a hardcoded 30-day threshold instead of respecting per-org stale TTL settings—customers with custom TTLs now see accurate warnings.
  • Directory-Specific Trigger Filtering: Fixed GitHub PR and commit triggers dispatching for all files instead of respecting configured trigger directories—triggers now correctly filter based on which directories contain changed files.
  • Slack OAuth for Large Workspaces: Fixed Slack OAuth connections failing for large workspaces when channel listing exceeds the gateway timeout—installations are now saved immediately after OAuth exchange, so connection isn’t lost if channel fetching times out.
  • Onboarding PR Count Accuracy: Fixed the onboarding trial page showing a higher PR count than what would actually be replayed—draft PRs and closed-unmerged PRs are now correctly excluded from the displayed count.
  • Slack Integration Reconnection: Fixed an issue where Slack bot stopped responding to messages for some organizations after reconnecting their Slack integration—the reconnection process was inadvertently clearing connection data needed to route incoming events.
  • Large Suggestions with Many Commits: Fixed suggestions with more than 250 commits failing to load with 502 errors—diff rendering now works independently of commit history, so suggestion pages load correctly regardless of commit count.
  • Docs PR Draft Timing: Fixed docs PRs being marked ready for review too early when linked to multiple source PRs—docs PRs now stay in draft until all linked source PRs have merged.
  • Versioned Branch Diff Display: Fixed suggestion diffs in the dashboard and Slack notifications incorrectly comparing against the default branch instead of the configured target branch—suggestions targeting versioned branches now show correct diffs.
  • History Tab Sync Commits: Fixed automated base-sync merge commits appearing in the suggestion History tab as if they were normal Promptless edits—these operational commits are now hidden to reduce timeline noise.
  • Slack Publish Button Reliability: Fixed Slack notifications sometimes omitting the Publish button for publishable suggestions—the button now appears consistently when a suggestion can be published.
  • Documentation Prose Quality: Fixed documentation suggestions sometimes producing overly brief or choppy prose—Promptless now generates more natural, cohesive content that flows better as customer-facing documentation.

Deprecated:

  • XWiki Integration Removed: The XWiki integration has been discontinued. If you were using XWiki with Promptless, please contact help@gopromptless.ai to discuss alternative workflows.
