Devin adds in-session prompt coaching, skips redundant PR re-reviews, picks up Slack thread replies without re-tagging, and enables Devin Local by default for enterprise customers. Teams integration, accessibility, sidebar, command palette, and preview toolbar also see polish.

  • Devin Coach: prompts surface suggestions in the input box as you type.
  • Smarter re-review: Devin Review skips re-review when the diff against base is unchanged (e.g. stacked PR restacks).
  • Slack thread follow-ups: sessions auto-subscribe to threads they post in; replies route back without re-tagging.
  • Teams polish: user mentions render as chips, emoji inline, channel-mention threading matches Slack.
  • High contrast mode: adds a "system" option that follows OS preference; new accessibility submenu in command palette.
  • Sidebar: reveals active session on navigation, new folders sort to top, right-click opens folder menu.
  • Command palette: "Start session with a prompt" supports multiline; "Search sessions" pinned under Start session.
  • Preview toolbar: open-in-new-tab promoted; exposed ports moved to overflow; share/open-in-new-tab follows current page.
  • Session list: filterable by platform.
  • Code scan: Ingest available as a scan mode in the new-scan sheet; auto-scan schedules API v3 GA.
  • Devin Local: enabled by default for enterprise.
  • Automations: in-page search via Cmd/Ctrl+F; unified workflow permission preview matches live run pane.
