<Update label="June 20 - 29">
  ## Updates

  ### Leaked password protection is turned on for new Bolt databases

  The new **Prevent Leaked Passwords** setting lets Bolt check the passwords your site's users create against a list of passwords that have appeared in known data breaches. If a user's password matches, Bolt asks them to choose a different one. Blocking leaked passwords protects your site and its users by keeping bad actors out of accounts that don't belong to them.

  **Prevent Leaked Passwords** is turned on by default for new databases Bolt creates.

  <Note>
    If you have an existing Bolt database, we recommend you turn on **Prevent Leaked Passwords** in your database authentication settings.
  </Note>

  1. In your project, click the **database icon**.
  2. Click **Authentication**, then click the **Email** row.
  3. Turn on **Prevent Leaked Passwords**.

  Turning on password protection doesn't affect users who've already signed up on your site. Bolt checks passwords only when a user creates a new password or changes their existing one.

  Learn more about [leaked password protection](/cloud/database/authentication#leaked-password-protection).
</Update>

<Update label="May 23 - June 19">
  ## Updates

  ### Manage your database settings all in one place

  Your project's database settings now live in one place, accessible from the **database icon** at the top center of your project. Authentication, File Storage, Logs, Secrets, Server Functions, Tables, and User Management are all reachable from the Database Settings view. Database-related plan limits remain on the **Cloud** settings page, which appears under Account settings for individual accounts and under Team settings for Teams accounts.

  Learn more about [Bolt Database settings](/cloud/database) and [viewing your database limits](/cloud/database#view-bolt-database-limits).
</Update>

<Update label="May 16 - 22">
  ## New features

  ### Export Google Stitch designs directly to Bolt

  When your designs are ready in [Google Stitch](https://stitch.withgoogle.com), you can now export them straight to Bolt with a single click. Bolt opens with your page screenshots and HTML already attached and a prompt prepopulated, so you can go from design to a working app in one step.

  Learn more about [exporting your Stitch designs to Bolt](/integrations/google-stitch#export-your-designs-to-bolt).

  ### Restart your database

  If your project's database becomes unresponsive, times out, or has connection issues, you can now restart it from the database's Advanced settings to try to restore the connection.

  Learn more about [restarting your database](/cloud/database/advanced#restart-your-database).

  ## Updates

  ### Guided questions in Enhance prompt

  When you use **Enhance prompt** in the chatbox, Bolt now asks a few guided questions about what you're building before generating the enhanced prompt. Your answers give Bolt more context, leading to a stronger starting point for your project.

  Learn more about [enhancing your prompts](/best-practices/prompting-effectively#enhance-your-prompts).

  ### Open in StackBlitz on projects with updated code storage

  As we update how Bolt stores project code, the [**Open in StackBlitz** export option](/building/using-bolt/projects-files#open-a-project-in-stackblitz) is no longer available for new projects or existing projects that have moved to the new format. If you click **Export** and see **Open in StackBlitz** grayed out, your project is using the new format. You can still edit your code directly in Bolt using [Code View](/building/using-bolt/code-view).
</Update>

<Update label="May 2 - 15">
  ## Updates

  ### Choose a Bolt agent

  Bolt now offers two agents, Standard and Max, instead of individual model options. Each agent is suited to a different kind of work: Standard is balanced for everyday building, and Max provides deeper reasoning for complex tasks. Bolt handles model selection behind the scenes based on the agent you choose.

  As models evolve, keeping track of model names, versions, and how each one performs on different tasks adds complexity that doesn't need to fall on you. This change gives Bolt more flexibility to improve how agents perform as the technology behind them evolves. You choose the agent that matches your work, and Bolt takes care of the rest.

  To learn more, see [Choose an agent](/building/using-bolt/agents).
</Update>

<Update label="Apr 25 - May 1">
  ## New features

  ### Connect Bolt to a GitHub organization

  GitHub organization admins can now install the Bolt.new GitHub app at the organization level and choose which repositories Bolt users can access. Members of the organization can work with approved repositories in Bolt without connecting their own personal GitHub account, giving teams centralized control over permissions and access.

  Learn more about [setting up GitHub organization access](/integrations/github-org).
</Update>

<Update label="Apr 18 - 24">
  ## New features

  ### Real-time multiplayer collaboration

  Collaborators can now work in the same Bolt project at the same time. Users who have access can prompt and edit alongside you, and you'll see when others are typing. Every project has a single shared chat thread, and Bolt processes one prompt at a time to prevent conflicts. When a collaborator prompts in your project, Bolt uses tokens from their account rather than yours.

  Learn more about [collaborating in real time](/building/using-bolt/collaborate#work-together-in-real-time).

  ### Projects dashboard

  You can now see your projects and your team's projects in one view on the Projects dashboard. You can manage projects by starring, renaming, or transferring them without having to open them first. From the sidebar, you can filter to view only projects **Created by you**, **Starred**, **Recently viewed**, and **Shared with you**.

  Learn more about the [projects dashboard](/building/using-bolt/collaborate#use-the-projects-dashboard).

  ## Updates

  ### Role-based sharing and publishing

  You can now control access to your projects with three roles:

  * Viewer can view and duplicate the project.
  * Editor can prompt and edit the code.
  * Co-owner has full control, including managing access.

  You can invite teammates by email, pick from your team directory, or set a team-wide default role (Co-owner, Editor, Viewer, or No access) so new projects start with the right permissions.

  Publishing is now fully separate from project sharing. When you publish a project as a site, you can set the site visibility to Public (anyone on the web can view it) or Private (only people you invite or who match a trusted email domain, such as yourcompany.com, can view it). Only the project owner and co-owners can publish or change site visibility. Environment variables are never visible to viewers, so you can share projects without exposing secrets.

  Learn more about [sharing your project](/building/using-bolt/sharing) and [publishing your project as a live site](/cloud/hosting/publish).
</Update>

<Update label="Apr 11 - 17">
  ## New features

  ### Opus 4.7 is now available

  Opus 4.7 is the most capable model available in Bolt, with stronger reasoning across complex, long-running tasks. It builds more complete features with fewer gaps and errors, and handles large projects that require reasoning across many files and dependencies. Opus 4.7 uses more tokens per task than Sonnet 4.6, but the additional usage goes toward more complete code and deeper reasoning.

  Learn more about [Opus 4.7 and other available models](/building/using-bolt/agents#opus-4-7).

  ### Attach or detach a design system from an existing project

  You can now attach, detach, or switch the design system on an existing project from your project settings. Previously, you could only select a design system when starting a new project. Attaching a design system doesn't make immediate changes to your project code: you have to prompt Bolt to update the specific components you want to change.

  Learn more about [attaching or detaching a design system](/building/design-system/use-design-system#attach-or-detach-a-design-system-from-an-existing-project).

  ## Updates

  ### Teams admins can control published site visibility

  Teams admins can now select whether published sites are public or private across all team projects. Choose from **User specified**, **Private only**, or **Public only** in your team settings. When set to Private only or Public only, team members can't change the site visibility in the Publish menu.

  Learn more about [setting published site visibility](/settings/team-settings#set-published-site-visibility).

  ### Disconnect a project from GitHub

  You can now disconnect an individual Bolt project from its linked GitHub repository without removing your GitHub integration entirely. This gives you more flexibility to manage how your projects are connected to version control.

  Learn more about [disconnecting a project from GitHub](/integrations/git#disconnect-a-project-from-github).

  ### v1 Agent is no longer available for new projects

  As of April 13, 2026, you can no longer select v1 Agent (legacy) when starting a new project. Existing v1 projects continue to work until August 3, 2026, when they'll be automatically switched to Claude Agent.

  Learn how to [switch your v1 projects to Claude Agent](/building/switch-v1-projects).
</Update>

<Update label="Apr 4 - 10">
  ## Improvements

  ### Sonnet 4.6 is now the default model

  Sonnet 4.6 is now the default model in Bolt, offering the best balance of speed, cost, and reasoning depth for everyday building tasks. This change reflects the strong performance of Sonnet 4.6 across planning, coding, debugging, and iterative development.

  As part of this update, Sonnet 4.5 and Opus 4.5 are no longer available. You can continue to use Haiku 4.5 for quick edits and Opus 4.6 for the most complex reasoning tasks.

  Learn more about [available models](/building/using-bolt/agents#compare-models).

  ### Pick from layers when selecting UI elements

  The **Select** tool now includes a **Pick from layers** option. When turned on, you can choose from all the overlapping elements at a location — making it easier to target a card or section rather than the button or heading inside it.

  Learn more about [selecting a UI element](/building/using-bolt/interacting-ai#select-a-ui-element).

  ### Tag files and folders in your prompts

  You can now type `@` in the chatbox to mention a specific project file or folder in your prompt. Bolt shows a filterable list of matching resources as you type, so you can quickly reference exactly what you want the AI to focus on.

  Learn more about [tagging a project file or folder](/building/using-bolt/interacting-ai#tag-a-project-file-or-folder).
</Update>

<Update label="Mar 28 - Apr 3">
  ## New features

  ### Design systems in Bolt are now available

  Paid Teams can now upload their design system to Bolt and use it across projects. Bolt reads your documentation and component library sources to generate a browsable Storybook inside Bolt and uses it as a reference when building UIs. Uploaded design systems appear in the Design System selector on the Bolt homepage.

  All users can explore and build with pre-loaded design systems, including Porsche, Cloudscape, and others, directly from the homepage.

  To get started, see the [Introduction to design systems](/building/design-system/introduction).

  ## Updates

  ### v1 Agent retirement

  The v1 Agent (legacy) is being retired. Starting April 13, 2026, you won't be able to select it for new projects. After August 3, 2026, v1 projects and sites built from them will no longer be accessible. Switch your existing v1 projects to Claude Agent before that date.

  Learn how to [switch your v1 projects to Claude Agent](/building/switch-v1-projects).
</Update>

<Update label="Feb 21 - Mar 27">

  Learn more about [generating AI images](/building/using-bolt/interacting-ai#generate-ai-images-for-your-project).

  ### Connect an MCP server

  You can now connect MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers to Bolt. This lets you bring in real-world context directly from the external tools and data sources you use. For example, you could connect Notion to let Bolt read or edit your pages, Linear to pull in task context, or GitHub to work with issues and pull requests, all without switching between apps.

  Bolt includes built-in connectors for popular tools, and you can also add a custom connector using any compatible MCP server URL.

  To get started, click the **plus icon** in the chatbox, then click **Connectors** > **Manage connectors**.

  <Frame>

  </Frame>

  Teams can now create reusable templates from existing projects to standardize structure, configuration, and starter files across the organization. Launching a template generates a new project while leaving the original unchanged, helping teammates start faster with a consistent foundation. They are only available on Teams plans.

  Learn more about [Team templates](/account-and-subscription/teams/team-templates).

  ### Update your Netlify URL

  While you have been able to [update your bolt.host URL](/cloud/hosting/publish#change-your-bolt-host-url) for some time, you can now also update your Netlify URL after publishing. This makes it easier to refine your public address, align with naming changes, or correct mistakes without redeploying a new site.

  Learn how to [change your Netlify URL](/integrations/netlify#change-your-netlify-url).

  ### Anthropic Opus 4.6 model release

  ### Bolt Cloud — Domains and Hosting

  [Bolt Cloud](/cloud/bolt-cloud) has arrived with the introduction of Bolt Hosting and Domains. Instead of managing separate services for hosting and domains, you can handle everything in one place inside Bolt. This keeps your workflow simple, allowing you to focus on building your product rather than setting up cloud infrastructure.

  Publish in seconds to a custom `bolt.host` domain, or purchase or connect your own custom domain.

  Learn more about [Bolt Hosting](/cloud/hosting) or [Bolt Domains](/cloud/domains).
