Browser controls and embeds follow your theme (bugfix) - Scrollbars, form controls and embedded pages such as a calendar now follow your community's light or dark palette.

Bugfix: Home feed tiles refresh after Slack channel updates - Editing a channel's description or topic in Slack now shows up on the community home page.

Clearer SSO sign-in errors - When an identity provider sends a malformed email claim, the sign-in error now names that reason instead of a generic authentication failure.

Custom font upload dialog reworked - Improved UI for detected weight and style as editable values.

Bugfix: Members sort by their real join date - Sorting the member list by Join Date now uses each member's Slack join date rather than the import date, and the column shows the same value it sorts on.

Chart granularity matches the selected range - Analytics no longer offers a Monthly view for a Last 4 weeks window, so the default view opens with a daily breakdown instead of one or two points.

Sync disclosure posted when a public channel is reactivated - Reactivating a channel whose feed is already public now posts the sync notice in the channel, so members see when public syncing resumes.

Richer member and list filters - list_members now accepts status, role, bot, team membership, join date and profile source filters plus sorting. list_events can span every status and returns registrant counts, list_event_attendees can exclude hosts and speakers, and post and comment search can sort by date.

Event registration flags are validated - create_event and edit_event now reject a registration link without a registration button, matching the Slack modal, and say which field to fix.

Community analytics - The new get_community_analytics tool returns message counts, active members, engagement metrics and engagement distribution over a chosen window, the same numbers Studio shows.

Cleaner feed disclosure messages - Link and media previews are suppressed on feed disclosures, so they stay short.

App Home deep links work again - Buttons that jump to a specific App Home tab now land where they should, which restores the onboarding link.

Profile photo milestones fire correctly - A custom profile photo is no longer mistaken for a default one when Slack omits the flag, so photo milestones award as expected.

Tag group management - Create, edit, move and delete tag groups and tags directly from your AI assistant.

Read and edit Slack community settings - Community Home and Slack member home settings can now be inspected and changed over MCP.

Create your first community site - A community site can now be created and edited over MCP, so a brand new workspace can be stood up conversationally.

Channel analytics on every feed - Each feed detail page now has an Analytics tab with a channel scorecard, engagement trend, time to first response, response rate, and a sortable list of the most active members in that channel. Different channels get measured differently, so every number is scoped to just that one.

Create your community site from Studio - Communities without a site can now set one up through a guided wizard in Studio.

See who has an award - The award detail page now lists every member who has received it.

All page banners in one place - Community site page banners are now managed in the Site settings > Page Banners section.

Branding now covers borders and highlights - Your configured palette now drives border, background, and highlight colors across the community site.

Page banners now show on mobile - Banners were hidden on small screens, so mobile visitors never saw them. They now render at every screen size across the home, events, groups, members, resources, collections, and feed pages.

Member awards and journey progress - You can now ask for a member's earned awards and their progress through journeys, with filtering.

Event guest lists - A new list_event_attendees tool returns who is coming to an event, paginated.

Event cover images - Event tools now return the cover image URL, so you can reuse the event graphic when writing a recap.

Archive and unarchive feeds - Feed archiving is now split into archive_feed and unarchive_feed, which respect your plan's active feed limit and run the same side effects as Studio.

Site updates appear immediately (bugfix) - Editing a post or comment through the MCP now refreshes the community site right away instead of waiting for the cache to expire.

Threaded reply milestones count unique threads (bugfix) - The threaded reply milestone was crediting every reply in the same thread. It now counts one per thread, as documented.

Find and manage deactivated members - The members list has a new Status filter for active, all, or deactivated members. Deactivated members were previously unreachable from the list, and the counts now agree with Overview. Status is also a column and part of the CSV export.

Webhook custom metadata on events - An event that uses webhooks for registration can now carry custom metadata, set when you create or edit the event. The field existed already in the Slack app and os now available in the Studio.

⚠️ Upcoming change: Sharper, standardized page banners - Starting next release, every page banner on the community site will be switched to a 4:1 aspect ratio, and the community site will utilize a full-resolution image. Existing banners may be cropped slightly at the sides to fit, so it is worth checking on yours. Re-export at 2560 x 640 for the best result.

Fixed SAML sign-in error codes - Fixed some of the error codes when SAML SSO login failed.

The /invite-channel command bugfix - Fixed a bug where the command showed usage instructions instead of running.

Branding sets - List, create, edit, and delete branding sets, and set the one your site uses.

Custom fonts - Create a font family, attach faces to it, list what you have, and remove either. Available for customers on the Enterprise plan.

Setup works in ChatGPT and Claude Desktop - Fixed a bug on protected-resource metadata and transport errors, when connecting from the ChatGPT web client or Claude Desktop.

Upcoming change (8/12): Sharper, standardized page banners - Starting 8/12, every page banner will be switched to a 4:1 shape, and the community site will utilize a full-resolution variant. ⚠️ Existing banners may be cropped slightly at the sides to fit, so it is worth checking on yours. Re-export at 2560 x 640 for the best result.

RSS feeds no longer resurface old posts - Your feed's RSS output is now ordered and dated by when content was actually written rather than when the row was last updated, so manual actions of publishing to the site will no longer float old posts to the top with fresh dates and make connected readers re-announce them as new. One reshuffle occurred as the new ordering takes effect.

Site-only discussions in the Discussions list view - Fixed a bug where a site-sourced post wouldn't show up in the Discussions list view table.

Honest delete warnings for content - The delete-collection dialog now describes what actually happens, and deleting an event correctly removes the library card pointing at it instead of leaving a dead resource object behind.

Bots stay out of event people pickers - Every bot type is now filtered out of the host, speaker, and attendee selectors on an event.

⚠️ Deprecating the /tightknit-poll command - Polls are now created with /poll only. The duplicate alias /tightknit-poll shortcut has been removed.

Bugfix: profile picture milestone on member join - Fixed bug where milestone progress may not award progress to members who joined the workspace with a custom avatar.

New deletion tools - New MCP delete tools added for groups, group members, events, journeys, milestones, awards, content collections, content resources, and tags. Each destructive tool requires an explicit confirmation before it runs.

Codex / ChatGPT web client connection - Fixed a bug where the ChatGPT web client failed to connect to the MCP due to mismatch in oauth protocol versions.

Banner images for groups - Groups can now have their own banner image, so a featured group page feels like a designed landing spot. Set it when you create or edit the group in the Studio or Slack app settings.

Slack container blocks in dark mode - Fixed bug where messages with container blocks did not respect dark branding themes when synced to the community site.

Rows per page on every list view - Tables now have a rows-per-page dropdown offering 10, 25, 50, or 100, with pagination standardized across list views.

Search and channel sorting on the feeds list - Search feeds by name or label, and sort alphabetically by the connected Slack channel name.

Responsive table columns no longer locked - On a narrow screen and mobile, columns are no longer locked out from being selected and displayed.

Jump to the public page from any detail view - Event, collection, tag, group, member, and feed detail pages now link straight to their public community site page when a site domain is configured.

Image uploads across the admin tools - Event cover images, Award badges, site logos and favicons, feed banners, and content covers can all now take an uploaded image. Pro-tip: try using your agent to generate an image (if supported) for these features!

New tools for awards, journeys, and tags - Added give_award, list_awards, list_journeys, list_tags, and create_tag. Journeys can also grant an award on completion.

Tag events as you create them - The event tools now accept tags directly

Clearer errors and partial results - Adding members to a group now reports exactly which profiles were skipped rather than failing as a block, and malformed dates, unknown channel IDs, and bad text inputs return an actionable error instead of a server error.

Rate limiting on the MCP server - Tool calls are now rate limited per authenticated caller, so a single agent cannot saturate the tool surface for everyone else in your community.

Salesforce sync history no longer shows stale jobs - Incremental syncs interrupted mid-dispatch are now cleaned up automatically.

Private channel lock icons - Feeds and Slack channel lists now show a lock icon on private channels, so it is clear at a glance which channels are restricted.

Image URL input validation - Added validation for image URL inputs (e.g. Content Resource cover image URLs) to prevent accidental invalid URLs.

Editable post SEO descriptions - Admins and authors can now set a custom SEO description for posts on the site, giving you control over how posts appear in search results and link previews. Use the Slack "Manage Context" message shortcut action to access this feature.

Group descriptions - Groups now support rich-text descriptions, displayed on the group page of the community site.

Improved "Last used" login detection - Fixed bug where the "Last used" badge would appear on auth providers for failed attempts.

Cleaner event announcements - Refined the layout of event announcement messages in Slack for better readability including better title placement and larger container size.

Bugfix: Accurate author attribution - Posts composed on your site now show the real human author instead of the app bot, so they appear correctly in the Humans filter and to your members.

Bugfix: related discussions for bot-authored messages - Fixed a bug where related discussions were not sent for messages sent by bots.

Compose posts in the full editor - The full rich-text editor now loads right when you start a post from the feed page.

Re-added links back to the community site - Slack messages that were originally authored from the community site now have a "Posted from the <community_name> site" footer at the bottom of the message, linking back to the community site for better discoverability.

New object manager roles - Assign Manager roles to your Studio users for Discussions, Feeds, Events, Polls, Awards, and Journeys, so you can delegate without granting full admin access.

Insert channel tags - A new channel-tag picker lets you tag Slack channels in the editors for the Welcome Message and Community Guidelines.

Clearer Unlisted feed toggle - The feed visibility toggle is now labeled clearly to prevent accidentally unlisting a feed when saving edits.

Fixed named blocked bots - Fix bug for blocked bots settings so that it now shows real names instead of Slack IDs.

Fixed filename with spaces upload bug - Fixed a bug where Slack messages would fail if they displayed an image that originated from a Studio file upload where the filename contained spaces.

Search page - Similar to search within the companion site, the Studio now supports search across posts, comments, and content resources in the community; however results in Studio are shown regardless of visibility and site publish state. Click the "Search Studio" search input in the sidebar, or use ⌘Cmd+K to begin. Closed remaining Studio and Slack admin gaps - New Studio settings sections and sub-sections bring settings that were previously Slack-only into Studio.

"What's New" changelog inside the help modal - The Studio help modal now has a slideout panel showing recent product updates, right from the app.

Fixed annoyingly persistent reinstallation reminder banner - Fixed bug where the out-of-date banner reminder for new Slack app versions would stick around despite reinstallation. The app now checks for reinstallation once the user returns focus back to the tab.

Fixed embed dialog dropdowns - Fixed bug where the Sort, Format, and Date Filter dropdowns in the feed and event embed dialogs were sometimes not rendering.

Fixed duplicate titles for block-based messages - For Slack blocks-based messages synced to the companion site, we now detect if the message contains a duplicative title block in the first two blocks of the body, and if so, we hide it. Only the post's title (assigned by Tightknit) is shown.

Redesigned Community Home for members - The non-admin Slack App Home has a fresh layout. Upcoming events, awards, and achievements appear in carousels and cards.

Configure Your Feed prompt clears after you finish - The feed setup onboarding prompt no longer lingers with stale buttons after you configure it or skip the step.

Setup: assign the Tightknit Users permission set - Step 1 of the Salesforce Setup wizard now includes an optional step explaining how to grant end users the read-only Tightknit Users permission set group, so they can see Tightknit data on Contact and Account record pages.

Component permission warnings - the LWC components now warn users they lack permission to see data if they do not have access to the underlying objects, instead of displaying a "no data" state.

Disabled - not visible on the site, to any user

Public - all users can view this feed

Authenticated only* - only logged-in community members can view this feed

Feed members* (private Slack channels only) - only logged-in users that are also members of the channel/feed can view this feed

Author names now reflect renames - Fixed an issue where posts and comments sent from the companion site kept the author's original name. The byline now reflects the author's current name whenever they rename their profile.

Search now matches post titles - Searching the companion site now finds posts by words in their title, not just the body.

Fixed inline Luma embeds for luma.com links - Event links using the newer luma.com URL format now open the embedded Luma checkout inline on event pages, matching the existing lu.ma support.

Corner branding applies to post and comment buttons - Fixed buttons on posts and comments so they now follow your site's corner radius branding token.

Security hardening - A range of security hardening fixes across the companion site, including stricter content sanitization and tighter content security policies.

Publish and unpublish discussions to your site - From the Studio discussion page you can now toggle whether a post or comment appears on the companion site. Toggling a post cascades to its whole thread of replies.

⚠️ Passcode sign-in replaces magic links - The Magic Link authentication option for companion sites has been replaced with Email OTP codes, which are one-time passcodes you type in, for improved performance and reliability.

Responsive pinned posts - A single pinned post now stretches to fill the available width instead of leaving empty space, and three or more pins are displayed in a carousel.

Cleaner pinned post previews - Fixed issue where pinned post cards rendered raw markup instead of fully formatted text, including bold, mentions, and links.

Author footer on branding previews - Feed post previews in branding settings now show the author footer, so previews match what members actually see in the feed.

Deactivate a member from Studio - You can now deactivate a member directly from their Studio member detail page. To perform this action, locate the dropdown action option to Deactivate/Re-activate Member.

Pasted links overflow bug fixed - Fixed a bug where pasting a link with a long title in the companion site post editor would cause the post text to overflow the boundary.

Onboarding welcome DMs intermittent bugfix - Fixed a rare bug where new joiners of the Slack workspace were sometimes skipped and not sent the welcome onboarding message.
