Hygraph Changelog

Jan 21st, 2026

Bug Fixes

When configuring union relational fields in the schema builder, the models list would overflow its container if many models were selected. The list now displays correctly within its bounds.
Adding permissions to a role would cause duplicate entries if the same permission was selected again. The permission screen now correctly reflects existing permissions and prevents stacking.
The plan picker would close immediately when clicked and could not be reopened without reloading the page. The picker now opens and closes reliably.
Toast notifications could not be dismissed when a sidesheet (like the field editor) was open. The close button now works regardless of what panels are open.
Clicking “Remove” on a webhook’s secret key appeared to work, but the key would reappear when reopening the edit page. Secret keys are now properly removed when requested.
Action buttons on webhook cards would overflow their container when the card was narrow. The buttons now wrap correctly.
Rapidly adding taxonomy entries while the UI was still loading could cause the input to become disabled. The interface now properly waits for each entry to complete before allowing the next one.
The “Join Project” button would overflow for projects with long names. The button now displays correctly regardless of project name length.
Rich text fields with embeds enabled were not handled correctly by AI translation agents, causing translation failures. Rich text content with embeds now translates properly.
Fetching content from multiple union member types in AI Agent workflows could fail when those types had fields with the same name but different return types. Queries now resolve correctly across all union members.
Viewing audit logs would fail with an error when actions were performed using App Tokens. Audit logs now correctly display all authentication types.
Pressing backspace in the rich text editor sometimes caused the content form to jump unexpectedly. The form now stays in place during editing.
In the rich text editor, the cursor would skip empty lines when navigating with the UP arrow. Cursor navigation now works correctly across all lines.
Pasting large text into the rich text editor caused the window to scroll unexpectedly. The editor now maintains scroll position during paste.
Pasting text containing links into a rich text field would scramble the text order. Links now paste correctly while preserving the original text sequence.
When unpublishing multiple entries containing component fields, the operation would fail. This is now fixed and unpublishing works for all content entries.
Toggling lists in Markdown fields now works correctly. The list formatting applies to the entire line, and toggling off properly removes the list instead of adding duplicates.
Clicking “Save and Close” when creating a new entry via the relation picker would briefly show the entry twice. This visual glitch is fixed.
The asset grid view would flicker while navigating. The loading behavior is now smooth.
Pasting a very long text into a filter input caused a client error. Filter inputs now handle long text gracefully.
Filtering content by a locale that returned no results would show a confusing “Add first entry” prompt with no way to recover. The empty state now correctly shows “No data found” with the option to clear filters.
Stage popovers in the content table would sometimes appear in the wrong position. Popovers now display correctly.
Deleting all entries on the last page of the content table showed “No data found” even though other entries existed. The table now correctly navigates to a valid page.
Saving an entry would sometimes include unchanged rich text fields in the payload when those fields contained embeds. Only modified fields are now included.

Improvements

Locales can now have fully custom display names. Previously, only custom API IDs were supported while display names were limited to a predefined list.
Saving assets now shows an upload progress indicator instead of appearing unresponsive.
The API Playground now uses the High Performance Endpoint, resulting in faster query execution when testing your API.
In the assets/relations picker, clicking anywhere on a row now selects the entry instead of requiring a click on the small checkbox.
When scheduling an entry that’s already in the selected release, a warning now appears to help prevent duplicates.
The Management SDK now correctly supports setting field visibility when creating or updating fields. Previously, visibility settings were ignored and fields defaulted to read/write.
For entries with a single stage, the stage column in the content table no longer shows an unnecessary hover card.
Republishing an entry now requires confirmation to prevent accidental overwrites.
Users without schema permissions no longer see the “Configure Live Preview” link, which would lead to an error page.
The locale selector now uses checkboxes, making it clearer which locales are currently selected.
Empty list fields in the content table now display a dash instead of a greyed-out icon, making it easier to distinguish between empty and populated fields at a glance.
The “Learn More” button for taxonomies has been moved below the main action buttons for a cleaner layout.
Added more spacing between the taxonomy explanation text and the “Expand All” button for better visual clarity.

Dec 4th, 2025

Bug Fixes

When configuring union relational fields in the schema builder, the models list would overflow its container if many models were selected. The list now displays correctly within its bounds.
Adding permissions to a role would cause duplicate entries if the same permission was selected again. The permission screen now correctly reflects existing permissions and prevents stacking.
The plan picker would close immediately when clicked and could not be reopened without reloading the page. The picker now opens and closes reliably.
Toast notifications could not be dismissed when a sidesheet (like the field editor) was open. The close button now works regardless of what panels are open.
Clicking “Remove” on a webhook’s secret key appeared to work, but the key would reappear when reopening the edit page. Secret keys are now properly removed when requested.
Action buttons on webhook cards would overflow their container when the card was narrow. The buttons now wrap correctly.
Rapidly adding taxonomy entries while the UI was still loading could cause the input to become disabled. The interface now properly waits for each entry to complete before allowing the next one.
The “Join Project” button would overflow for projects with long names. The button now displays correctly regardless of project name length.
Rich text fields with embeds enabled were not handled correctly by AI translation agents, causing translation failures. Rich text content with embeds now translates properly.
Fetching content from multiple union member types in AI Agent workflows could fail when those types had fields with the same name but different return types. Queries now resolve correctly across all union members.
Viewing audit logs would fail with an error when actions were performed using App Tokens. Audit logs now correctly display all authentication types.
Pressing backspace in the rich text editor sometimes caused the content form to jump unexpectedly. The form now stays in place during editing.
In the rich text editor, the cursor would skip empty lines when navigating with the UP arrow. Cursor navigation now works correctly across all lines.
Pasting large text into the rich text editor caused the window to scroll unexpectedly. The editor now maintains scroll position during paste.
Pasting text containing links into a rich text field would scramble the text order. Links now paste correctly while preserving the original text sequence.
When unpublishing multiple entries containing component fields, the operation would fail. This is now fixed and unpublishing works for all content entries.
Toggling lists in Markdown fields now works correctly. The list formatting applies to the entire line, and toggling off properly removes the list instead of adding duplicates.
Clicking “Save and Close” when creating a new entry via the relation picker would briefly show the entry twice. This visual glitch is fixed.
The asset grid view would flicker while navigating. The loading behavior is now smooth.
Pasting a very long text into a filter input caused a client error. Filter inputs now handle long text gracefully.
Filtering content by a locale that returned no results would show a confusing “Add first entry” prompt with no way to recover. The empty state now correctly shows “No data found” with the option to clear filters.
Stage popovers in the content table would sometimes appear in the wrong position. Popovers now display correctly.
Deleting all entries on the last page of the content table showed “No data found” even though other entries existed. The table now correctly navigates to a valid page.
Saving an entry would sometimes include unchanged rich text fields in the payload when those fields contained embeds. Only modified fields are now included.

Improvements

Locales can now have fully custom display names. Previously, only custom API IDs were supported while display names were limited to a predefined list.
Saving assets now shows an upload progress indicator instead of appearing unresponsive.
The API Playground now uses the High Performance Endpoint, resulting in faster query execution when testing your API.
In the assets/relations picker, clicking anywhere on a row now selects the entry instead of requiring a click on the small checkbox.
When scheduling an entry that’s already in the selected release, a warning now appears to help prevent duplicates.
The Management SDK now correctly supports setting field visibility when creating or updating fields. Previously, visibility settings were ignored and fields defaulted to read/write.
For entries with a single stage, the stage column in the content table no longer shows an unnecessary hover card.
Republishing an entry now requires confirmation to prevent accidental overwrites.
Users without schema permissions no longer see the “Configure Live Preview” link, which would lead to an error page.
The locale selector now uses checkboxes, making it clearer which locales are currently selected.
Empty list fields in the content table now display a dash instead of a greyed-out icon, making it easier to distinguish between empty and populated fields at a glance.
The “Learn More” button for taxonomies has been moved below the main action buttons for a cleaner layout.
Added more spacing between the taxonomy explanation text and the “Expand All” button for better visual clarity.

Dec 4th, 2025

We've introduced Hygraph Click-to-Edit, a new feature that lets editors hover over content in their preview, click Edit in Hygraph, and jump straight to the exact field in Studio. Make the change, save, and see it update right away.

August 7th, 2024

We’ve launched Live Preview for Hygraph Studio, a feature that enables you to edit and preview content side-by-side in one smooth workflow.

We have launched Custom App Permissions, enabling you to choose permissions for who can install your app: only you, selected users, or the public.
We have introduced Automatic Query Splitting, where we optimize complex GraphQL queries that contain union fields or modular components.
We have launched our new app to add digital assets from imigix directly from the Hygraph interface.

We’ve now transitioned Hygraph Studio from Beta to Early Availability, which makes Studio the default experience for free and self-serve users. Enterprise plans can switch between Studio and Classic, with an opt-in period for Classic till they migrate.

We've launched a more granular approach to caching with entry-based Cache Invalidation. This means that for any content changes, we now only invalidate the cache for the exact entry that was changed.
We've launched OAuth Support for commercetools and Commerce Layer Remote Sources.

We’ve now launched our new Hygraph Studio in beta. You can now switch between the current interface (Hygraph Classic) and the new Studio to test it out.

We’ve introduced our new Asset Management System, which is available for all new Hygraph projects created beginning today. In the first phase of rollout, the user interface remains unchanged. Nevertheless, the changes we’ve implemented in the backend architecture have resulted in a 10x increase in asset performance.

We’ve enhanced global performance through regional deployments of our Management Server. This translates to faster load times, improved disaster recovery, and reduced latency.

May 17th, 2023

We have launched our new EasyTranslate app to help bring in your localization workflows into your Hygraph projects.

We have launched our new alttext.ai app, which helps you automatically generate alt text for your images.

For improved performance and low-latency, we now offer model-and-stage-based partial cache invalidations on the high-performance read-only endpoint.

New assignment workflow introduced for comments. Users can now assign a comment, and the assignee will receive a notification and can resolve upon completion.

We have introduced our new app framework to allow you to build custom applications to add functionalities to Hygraph, connect to external systems, automate workflows and do much more.

February 6th, 2023

We have launched our new commercetools app to help you link products from commercetools in Hygraph.

February 1st, 2023

We have launched our new Crowdin app to help bring in your localization workflows into your Hygraph projects.

January 20th, 2023

Users can now reply to comments and start a discussion within that comment.

We launched our commenting feature that allows users to add comments to content entries, assign and notify other users, and resolve them upon completion.

We have launched a new Shopify app to help you link products from Shopify in Hygraph.
We have released a new high-performance read-only cache endpoint. The new endpoint offers 3-5x latency improvement over the previous one.
We have released a new version of our Management SDK. The old SDK has been deprecated but won't be removed from NPM, so old scripts using it will still work in the future. New features, though, will only be available in the new SDK.

To improve the user experience, we have introduced new non-intrusive ways for users to provide feedback while using the application.

We've launched new integrations for Bynder, Lokalise, Plasmic and Adminix.

You can now filter content entries by the stage which they are in.

August 29th, 2022

We’ve redesigned our billing page to provide you with a one-stop shop to understand where you are towards any project limits that may apply and an overview of which features are activated for your project.

Hygraph is now SOC 2 Type 2 Compliant.

Earlier this year, we launched our components feature. Now you have the ability to create components within a component, as if you had a parent component containing one or more child components.

You can now render app pages in the sidebar as well.

June 13th, 2022

Based on our research and feedback we collected, we have redesigned the on-boarding experience for newly signed up users to help them better understand the platform.

June 7th, 2022

You can now filter content entries based on relational fields. Traditionally, this was available from the API, but we’ve now made it available in the UI in your Hygraph Project.

April 29th, 2022

Link Embeds can now be found within the Rich Text Editor. Link Embeds gives users control beyond just hyperlinking to URLs, but the added possibility to link to a specific entry.

March 29th, 2022

Components feature is available to all Hygraph users. This includes the ability to access and use Basic Field and Modular Field when creating models within the Schema Builder.

Update to Project Cloning to include the ability to share projects externally to other users through unique link or button called Project Sharing
