Benefits:

  • Make web flows easier to standardize and maintain.

  • Reduce inconsistent behavior caused by per-step configuration gaps.

  • Improve resilience in applications with dynamic page loads and background requests.

Azure DevOps enhancements

Leapwork 2026.2 continues to improve Azure DevOps synchronization and test-management workflows.

What this unlocks:

  • Better handling of imported test artifacts and configuration details.

  • Smoother alignment between Leapwork runs and Azure DevOps work items and test cases.

  • Improved traceability for teams operating in Microsoft-centric delivery environments.

D365 F&O Fusion and RSAT improvements

Enhancements in D365 F&O help teams automate more complex enterprise workflows with better capture, replay, and migration behavior.

Key themes in this release:

  • Improved support for Fusion recorder scenarios and RSAT migration workflows.

  • Better handling of grid, dropdown, validation, and execution scenarios in complex business pages.

  • Reduced friction in finance and operations automation maintenance.

  • The RSAT Migration Tool has been updated with a guided, UI-based interface, replacing the previous command-line workflow.

Flow enhancements

Several Flow improvements focus on version history, canvas behavior, search, editing, and run list workflows.

  • Better support for working with frozen run lists and version history.

  • Improved canvas and editing experience in common maintenance workflows.

  • Ongoing search and navigation refinements to help users find and update the right assets faster.

Database cleanup scripts for Flow version history

Release 2026.2 includes database cleanup scripts for managing large Flow version-history datasets. For the full cleanup procedure, prerequisites, validation steps, and maintenance guidance.

Included scripts:

  • CleanupOldFlowRevisions.txt: Creates or updates the dbo.CleanupOldFlowRevisions stored procedure. The procedure keeps at least the latest 10 revisions by default, preserves revisions required by frozen run lists when enabled, rebuilds the affected revision-history tables with retained records, recreates keys, indexes, default constraints, and foreign keys, and swaps the staging tables into place.

  • RevisionCount.txt: Captures row counts across revision-history tables before and after cleanup so administrators can verify the cleanup result.

  • RebuildIndex.txt: Rebuilds indexes with fragmentation greater than 20% to improve database performance before or after maintenance.

  • ReOrganiseIndex.txt: Reorganises indexes with fragmentation below 20% as a lighter maintenance option.

Recommended execution flow: stop the Controller service, take and verify a full database backup, rebuild or reorganise indexes, create or update the cleanup stored procedure, check for frozen run lists, record revision counts, execute the cleanup procedure, verify revision counts again, and shrink the database only if disk space must be reclaimed.

EXEC dbo.CleanupOldFlowRevisions
    @VersionsToKeep = 10,
    @KeepFrozenRunListFlows = 1,
    @DropBackupTables = 1;

Important: Run these scripts only during a planned maintenance window, with SQL Server administrative privileges, a verified database backup, and sufficient free disk space. For a 100 GB database, maintain at least 75 GB of free disk space before starting maintenance.
