Portal is continuously evolving with new features, improvements, and fixes. This changelog provides a comprehensive history of all updates to help you stay informed about the latest enhancements and changes to your Portal experience.

​
15 June, 2026

Portal: New application layout We’ve updated Portal layout with a new search bar location and a user profile section in the top-right corner.

​
28 May, 2026

Catalog: Suspended users are now excluded from built-in org data providers catalog admin All built-in org data providers — GitHub, GitLab, Okta, and EntraID — now automatically keep your catalog clean by excluding suspended or disabled users. This means your catalog accurately reflects your active workforce, and access tokens are properly revoked when users are offboarded from your identity provider. This works out of the box across all built-in providers — no configuration needed.

​
21 April, 2026

MCP actions for AI-powered Soundcheck management soundcheck aika Soundcheck now ships MCP actions that allow AI agents — AiKA, Claude Code, Cursor, and other IDE extensions — to query and manage Soundcheck programmatically. Ask about failing checks, review track compliance, inspect fact collector status, and manage campaigns through conversational AI. MCP actions respect Backstage permissions, so read-only queries are gated appropriately. Checks can be discovered by name using natural language search, making it easier for agents to find the right check before acting on it.
  • Fixed Fact Explorer showing “no data available” for facts pushed through the API
  • Fixed the “Not Reported” status filter not working on check entity pages
  • Fixed the check authoring form’s owner field missing entity reference validation
  • Fixed typing a fact path directly into the autocomplete field not saving correctly

​
21 April, 2026

Define and manage campaigns as code soundcheck Campaigns can now be defined in YAML alongside your checks and tracks, loaded from remote URLs, and imported or exported through the UI. This enables “everything as code” workflows — version your campaigns in source control, review changes in PRs, and promote configurations from staging to production.
  • Fixed campaign archiving from the UI doing nothing
  • Fixed filters resetting when switching between sections on check and track pages
  • Fixed changes to a check’s filter, name, or description not propagating to tracks that reference it
  • Fixed entities nested deep in the group hierarchy not appearing in Insights statistics

​
21 April, 2026

Manage Soundcheck configuration programmatically with OpenAPI CRUD endpoints soundcheck Soundcheck configuration — checks, tracks, fact collectors, and campaigns — can now be managed via RESTful CRUD API endpoints with full OpenAPI specifications. Teams can automate configuration changes, integrate with CI/CD pipelines, and build tooling on top of a stable, documented API instead of editing large YAML files by hand. See Soundcheck API for endpoint documentation.
  • Users can now filter Tech Insights by entity kind — Component, API, System
  • A single bad config file no longer takes down the entire Soundcheck config — valid items still load with an error surfaced for the broken one
  • Users can clear stale cached check results for YAML-defined checks
  • Fixed config validation errors showing a misleading license error instead of the actual problem
  • Improved Soundcheck Zod schema validation messages to be human-readable

​
21 April, 2026

Track priority and weight soundcheck Soundcheck tracks can now be assigned a priority level of Low, Normal, High, or Critical via the track configuration form. A new sortable Priority column appears on the Tracks list and Tech Insights table, so teams can focus on the most critical tracks first.

​
21 April, 2026

XML support in SCM fact collector soundcheck The Soundcheck SCM fact collector now supports XML files as a source, enabling fact extraction from XML documents using JSONPath expressions. This extends the existing support for JSON and YAML files to cover XML-based configuration and metadata. See XML Fact Extractor for documentation.

​
21 April, 2026

Remote URL config for fact collectors soundcheck Soundcheck fact collectors can now fetch their configuration from one or more remote URLs, allowing collector configuration to be managed as code. Directory URLs are also supported, automatically loading all configuration files within a folder. See SCM Fact Collector: URL Configuration Option for documentation.

​
13 April, 2026

Real-time in-app notifications for Soundcheck and Scaffolder admin soundcheck scaffolder Portal now has a built-in notifications system. Users receive real-time alerts from Soundcheck (check results, track updates) and Scaffolder (task completions, failures) in a sidebar inbox. Notifications from Data Experience and Skill Exchange are coming next.

​
31 March, 2026

Homepage: PR inbox surfaces pull requests that need your attention homepage A new PR Inbox widget on the Portal homepage surfaces the pull requests that need your attention — reducing the time spent manually checking for PR updates across repositories and workflows. The widget shows PRs you currently have open, PRs assigned to you for review, and PRs assigned to your team, along with each PR’s current status. This makes review and follow-up work visible and easier to prioritize. Currently available for GitHub. Azure DevOps support is coming soon.

​
26 March, 2026

Insights: DevEx metrics dashboard for DORA and AI productivity insights A new DevEx metrics dashboard in Portal Insights centralizes DORA and AI productivity metrics in one place — giving engineering leaders a way to quantify platform ROI and tie engineering performance directly to Portal usage without stitching together data from disconnected tools. Out-of-the-box integrations pull data automatically from GitHub, Azure DevOps, PagerDuty, Cursor, and GitHub Copilot. Every metric includes a clear breakdown of its data source and calculation logic, so leadership and developers can trust what they’re seeing. Available at /insights/devex. See DevEx metrics documentation for more details.

​
3 March, 2026

Scaffolder: Create and manage Software Templates entirely in Portal scaffolder v1.46.0-portal.0 Software Templates can now be created, edited, published, and run entirely inside Portal — no more switching to YAML in source control to manage templates.

​
24 February, 2026

Catalog: Enrich Portal-managed components with metadata catalog Components added through the “Managed by Portal” flow can now be enriched with metadata — helping keep your catalog up to date and ensuring the annotations that other plugins depend on are populated. Portal scans each component’s repository and suggests metadata values based on what it finds. Admins review the suggestions and choose which ones to apply, keeping full control over what gets updated.

​
23 February, 2026

Portal Connect — securely access private infrastructure admin Portal Connect is a Docker container that runs in your infrastructure and establishes a secure outbound-only WebSocket tunnel to Portal. It enables Portal to reach services behind your firewall — GitHub Enterprise, GitLab, Jenkins, Kubernetes, Argo CD, and internal APIs — without exposing them to the internet. All credentials stay in your network. Portal never sees API keys or tokens. The connection uses mutual TLS (mTLS) with 180-day certificates for authentication. See Portal Connect for installation and security details.
  • Fixed Portal Connect health check firewall rules blocking GKE traffic on customer VPCs after the Kubernetes migration

​
19 February, 2026

Customize Portal with your own app logo admin Portal Admins can now replace the default Portal logo with their organization’s branding. Upload separate logos for light and dark themes, and for both the expanded and collapsed sidebar, so your brand stays consistent across every view. A real-time preview shows how your logos will render before you save, and you can restore the default Portal branding at any time. To configure, go to App Settings → General → App Logo and select “Use custom app logo.”

​
11 February, 2026

Redesigned install, update, and uninstall flows admin Redesigned plugin management showing installed plugins in table layout Plugin management in Portal received a major UX upgrade. New dedicated dialogs for installing, updating, and uninstalling plugins replace the previous flows, with branded publisher UI and clear progress banners during operations. Admins can now view installed plugins in a table layout, and lifecycle status indicators surface warnings and errors at a glance.
  • Plugin cards now show update indicators when child modules have available updates
  • Recently installed plugins are now highlighted for easier identification
  • Users can copy stack traces with a single click
  • Fixed feature flag registration errors crashing the entire Portal app

  • Optimized plugin backend startup time via package discovery and v8 compile caches

​
11 February, 2026

Query user activity across Portal with Audit Logs admin Portal now captures user-initiated actions across core plugins — Catalog, Scaffolder, RBAC, and Config Manager — and exposes them through a queryable REST API. Filter events by plugin, actor, severity, time range, entity ref, and more. Access is controlled via a dedicated audit-log-api-access token configured in App Settings > External access. Admins can also define exclusion rules to suppress high-volume, low-value events (like catalog reads) from storage. See Audit Logs for setup and API reference.
  • Portal logs now persist for up to 30 days, viewable in the Admin Log Viewer
  • Increased Portal Logs fetch limit beyond 200 entries per request
