Server & Author Release

Date: 9 June 2026

⚠️ Action required: Some items in this release require a library update to take effect. These are marked 🔧 below.

🔧 Model stakeholder assignment now respects license type. A Model Author must hold an Author license; a Model Owner must hold an Author or Participant license; and Workflow Review or Approval must hold an Author or Participant license. (Requires library update)
🔧 Models can now be configured to show Review, Approval, Distribution and Sponsor as read-only — or to hide them entirely when they aren't needed. (Requires library update)
When two users share the same name, we now display their email address to help you tell them apart.
Viewing models with large numbers of autonamed components is now faster, thanks to a new stencil autoname option. Further autoname experience improvements are planned for a future release.

Steps in an embedded sub-process that were set to display off-screen are now correctly forced on-screen.
Corrected an auto-layout issue that could place an embedded sub-process in the wrong lane.

Workflow has been enhanced to support an upcoming capability that will let it bundle changes across models and components.

The Process importer can now import both a model description and a process map description.

Resolved an issue where the Visio importer could fail to display configuration options in certain circumstances.

Enhanced the status information shared between the server and the browser.
New API for returning the links from a model (LinksFrom), documented in OpenAPI.
Workflow APIs now return more information, including description, model URL, model name, model type, started by, started, and timeout.

Library logos are no longer overwritten when a library is updated.
Library catch-up emails no longer strip HTML tags from model updates, preserving the original formatting and information.
Improved how Author sends incremental updates to the server.
Recent models are now returned correctly for Authenticating Libraries accessed via SSO.
Model names containing special characters (e.g. Process <test>) now appear correctly in workflow emails.
You can now create users whose email address ends in a special character.
The Compare API no longer fails when one of the models does not exist.
