🧩 Prompt Variables with Automatic Input Modal: Prompts containing variables now display a clean, auto-generated input modal that autofocuses on the first field for instant value entry—just select the prompt and fill in exactly what’s needed, reducing friction and guesswork.
🔡 Variable Input Typing in Prompts: Define input types for prompt variables (e.g., text, textarea, number, select, color, date, map and more), giving everyone a clearer and more precise prompt-building experience for advanced automation or workflows.
🚀 Base Model List Caching: Cache your base model list to speed up model selection and reduce repeated API calls; toggle this in Admin Settings > Connections for responsive model management even in large or multi-provider setups.
⏱️ Configurable Model List Cache TTL: Take control over model list caching with the new MODEL_LIST_CACHE_TTL environment variable. Set a custom cache duration in seconds to balance performance and freshness, reducing API requests in stable environments or ensuring rapid updates when models change frequently.
🔖 Reference Notes as Knowledge or in Chats: Use any note as knowledge for a model or folder, or reference it directly from chat—integrate living documentation into your Retrieval Augmented Generation workflows or discussions, bridging knowledge and action.
📝 Chat Directly with Notes (Experimental): Ask questions about any note, and directly edit or update notes from within a chat—unlock direct AI-powered brainstorming, summarization, and cleanup, like having your own collaborative AI canvas.
🤝 Collaborative Notes with Multi-User Editing: Share notes with others and collaborate live—multiple users can edit a note in real-time, boosting cooperative knowledge building and workflow documentation.
🛡️ Collaborative Note Permissions: Control who can view or edit each note with robust sharing permissions, ensuring privacy or collaboration per your organizational needs.

🔄 Full Undo/Redo Support in Notes: Effortlessly undo or redo your latest note changes—never fear mistakes or accidental edits while collaborating or writing.
📝 Enhanced Note Word/Character Counter: Always know the size of your notes with built-in counters, making it easier to adhere to length guidelines for shared or published content.
🖊️ Floating & Bubble Formatting Menus in Note Editor: Access text formatting tools through both a floating menu and an intuitive bubble menu directly in the note editor—making rich text editing faster, more discoverable, and easier than ever.
✍️ Rich Text Prompt Insertion: A new setting allows prompts to be inserted directly into the chat box as fully-formatted rich text, preserving Markdown elements like headings, lists, and bold text for a more intuitive and visually consistent editing experience.
🌐 Configurable Database URL: WebUI now supports more flexible database configuration via new environment variables—making deployment and scaling simpler across various infrastructure setups.
🎛️ Completely Frontend-Handled File Upload in Temporary Chats: When using temporary chats, file extraction now occurs fully in your browser with zero files sent to the backend, further strengthening privacy and giving you instant feedback.
🔄 Enhanced Banner and Chat Command Visibility: Banner handling and command feedback in chat are now clearer and more contextually visible, making alerts, suggestions, and automation easier to spot and interact with for all users.
📱 Mobile Experience Polished: The "new chat" button is back in mobile, plus core navigation and input controls have been smoothed out for better usability on phones and tablets.
📄 OpenDocument Text (.odt) Support: Seamlessly upload and process .odt files from open-source office suites like LibreOffice and OpenOffice, expanding your ability to build knowledge from a wider range of document formats.
📑 Enhanced Markdown Document Splitting: Improve knowledge retrieval from Markdown files with a new header-aware splitting strategy. This method intelligently chunks documents based on their header structure, preserving the original context and hierarchy for more accurate and relevant RAG results.
📚 Full Context Mode for Knowledge Bases: When adding a knowledge base to a folder or custom model, you can now toggle full context mode for the entire knowledge base. This bypasses the usual chunking and retrieval process, making it perfect for leaner knowledge bases.
🕰️ Configurable OAuth Timeout: Enhance login reliability by setting a custom timeout (OAUTH_TIMEOUT) for all OAuth providers (Google, Microsoft, GitHub, OIDC), preventing authentication failures on slow or restricted networks.
🎨 Accessibility & High-Contrast Theme Enhancements: Major accessibility overhaul with significant updates to the high-contrast theme. Improved focus visibility, ARIA labels, and semantic HTML ensure core components like the chat interface and model selector are fully compliant and readable for visually impaired users.
↕️ Resizable System Prompt Fields: Conveniently resize system prompt input fields to comfortably view and edit lengthy or complex instructions, improving the user experience for advanced model configuration.
🔧 Granular Update Check Control: Gain finer control over outbound connections with the new ENABLE_VERSION_UPDATE_CHECK flag. This allows administrators to disable version update checks independently of the full OFFLINE_MODE, perfect for environments with restricted internet access that still need to download embedding models.
🗃️ Configurable Qdrant Collection Prefix: Enhance scalability by setting a custom QDRANT_COLLECTION_PREFIX. This allows multiple Open WebUI instances to share a single Qdrant cluster safely, ensuring complete data isolation between separate deployments without conflicts.
⚙️ Improved Default Database Performance: Enhanced out-of-the-box performance by setting smarter database connection pooling defaults, reducing API response times for users on non-SQLite databases without requiring manual configuration.
🔧 Configurable Redis Key Prefix: Added support for the REDIS_KEY_PREFIX environment variable, allowing multiple Open WebUI instances to share a Redis cluster with isolated key namespaces for improved multi-tenancy.
➡️ Forward User Context to Reranker: For advanced RAG integrations, user information (ID, name, email, role) can now be forwarded as HTTP headers to external reranking services, enabling personalized results or per-user access control.
⚙️ PGVector Connection Pooling: Enhance performance and stability for PGVector-based RAG by enabling and configuring the database connection pool. New environment variables allow fine-tuning of pool size, timeout, and overflow settings to handle high-concurrency workloads efficiently.
⚙️ General Backend Refactoring: Extensive refactoring delivers a faster, more reliable, and robust backend experience—improving chat speed, model management, and day-to-day reliability.
🌍 Expanded & Improved Translations: Enjoy a more accessible and intuitive experience thanks to comprehensive updates and enhancements for Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), German, French, Catalan, Irish, and Spanish translations throughout the interface.
