🚨 New features

Git Version Control for Leapwork Flow

Take software lifecycle management to the next level by storing and managing your Flow and Sub-flow revision histories directly in enterprise Git repositories instead of inflating the Controller database. Supported Git Providers: GitHub (Cloud & Enterprise), Azure DevOps (ADO) and Bitbucket Cloud. Find more information here.

Key Capabilities:

• Team-Level Repository Mapping: Administrators can enable Git per team under Settings > Git Connections, mapping specific repositories to designated teams.

• Seamless Flow Migration: Guided Save & Migrate workflow transfers existing flows, sub-flows, and historical revisions into structured Git directories without interrupting active work.

• Continuous Auto-Synchronization: Every newly saved flow version, edit, or imported flow is automatically committed to the configured branch with full author attribution, timestamp, commit messages, and metadata.

• Visual Version Comparison: Select any previous flow version to compare side-by-side against the latest revision (or compare any two arbitrary versions). Added, removed, and modified blocks/connections are clearly color-coded.

• Safe Flow Restoration: Restore any historical revision with one click. Restores create a new sequential version in Studio and commit directly to Git while keeping the entire historical audit trail intact.

• Role-Based Version Governance: Controlled access based on user role (Admin, Contributor, Reader), ensuring only authorized team members can alter repository mappings or trigger migrations.

Leapwork Update Center & Dynamic DLL Distribution

The Leapwork Update Center provides Install Administrators with a centralized way to distribute Leapwork update packages across the connected components of a Leapwork environment. 

• Hot-Patch Distribution: Enables administrative deployment and updating of specific DLL packages across Studio, Controller, and Agent instances directly from Studio Settings without requiring a full release reinstall.

• Automated Rollback Engine: If an updated component experiences issues, the system can automatically revert to the previous verified DLL state from C:\ProgramData\Leapwork\DllUpdate\RollbackJobs with full audit logging.

Command-Line (CLI) Headless Installer

Leapwork Flow can now be installed, upgraded, repaired, and uninstalled completely from the command line using an executable CLI package (.exe + .zip), eliminating dependencies on interactive Windows Installer (.msi) wizards.

What this unlocks:

• Automated CI/CD & Enterprise Rollouts: Script silent installations across hundreds of VMs or containerized environments using PowerShell or shell scripts with --force-silent-enterprise-install.

• Configuration Reusability: Pass --reuse-configuration during upgrades or redeployments to maintain established ports, agent configurations, and controller parameters.

• Automated Database Provisioning: Automatically initializes Trial/Platform SQLite databases or configures Enterprise MSSQL (SQL Server Authentication, Windows Trusted Connection, or Azure SQL).

• Offline License Activation: Generate .REQ files and ingest .LIC response files headlessly in air-gapped or restricted network environments.

• Clean System Management: Ensures all firewall rules, Windows Services, registry entries, and shortcuts are idempotently created or purged on teardown.

AI Generate Block: Unique Test Data Generation

Avoid data collisions and workflow failures with built-in uniqueness guarantees in the AI Generate block.

Key Benefits:

• Collision-Free Execution: Dynamically creates unique usernames, email addresses, order IDs, or customer records on every execution step without writing complex custom counter or timestamp logic.

• Loop & Repetition Aware: Guarantees that iterative executions within a loop block or recurring schedule receive distinct values throughout the sequence.

• Canvas Cache Management: Clear generated test data caches on demand via the canvas right-click context menu (Clear Cache) to reset synthetic data pools during test authoring.

🛠️ Feature enhancements

Runtime Modernization: .NET 10 Migration

Leapwork has transitioned from .NET 8 to .NET 10 across the core platform architecture.

• Lower CPU & Memory Overhead: Substantial performance gains during heavy parallel schedule executions and high-throughput canvas operations.

• Enhanced Platform Security: Adopts modern cryptographic standards, updated dependencies, and improved socket handling for Controller-to-Agent communication.

• Upgraded SignalR & Router Runtimes: Enhanced throughput and reduced latency for real-time preview runs and remote agent job streaming.

Block-Level Synchronization: Await DOM Change & Await Requests

Building on the flow-level settings introduced in 2026.2, Leapwork 2026.3 adds granular, per-block override controls for Dynamics 365 F&O and Salesforce Fusion blocks.

• Granular Block Control: Configure each individual block to wait for DOM changes, wait for active network requests, wait for both, or bypass synchronization entirely.

• Eliminate Flakiness: Overcomes unpredictable asynchronous network delays in heavy Single Page Applications (SPAs) without forcing users to insert arbitrary fixed Wait blocks.

Microsoft Ecosystem & D365 F&O Updates

• D365 F&O Version 10.0.49 Compatibility: Fully certified and validated against Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations version 10.0.49 using both the Fusion Recorder and Classic Recorder.

• Enhanced Dropdown & Grid Handling: Resolved multi-combobox, index-based row selection, and text-area capture behaviors in Dynamics 365 forms.

• Azure DevOps (ADO) Multi-Instance Integration: Hardened synchronization when importing and syncing test cases across different ADO organizations and projects sharing similar custom field definitions.

Flow Productivity & In-Flow Search

• Canvas Search Refinements: Find blocks, sub-flows, and variables faster with highlighted canvas focusing and automatic 100% zoom-to-fit framing.

• Virtual Canvas Panning: Significantly smoothed viewport rendering, eliminating UI freezes when panning across massive flows containing hundreds of blocks.

• Subflow Renaming Synchronization: Renaming subflows in the Flow Tree now propagates immediately across all canvas block instances and persists across file re-openings.

• Design & UX Polish: Standardized typography, modal button styles, and input field strokes across Run Lists and Schedules.

Browser, Driver & Execution Ecosystem

• Chrome & Edge Driver 154: Built-in compatibility and automated driver support for Chrome and Microsoft Edge up to version 154.

🔒 Platform, Cloud & Infrastructure

Enhanced Flow Lifecycle Logging

• Complete application audit logging for flow creation, editing, updating, and deletion with correlation IDs, timestamps, and stack traces providing clear auditability without exposing confidential payload data.

🐞 Bugs & improvements

Installation & System Maintenance

• CLI Installer Silent Mode: Resolved an issue where --force-silent-enterprise-install failed to deactivate licenses on uninstallation or demanded an unnecessary license key during repairs.

• Upgrade State Recovery: Fixed an issue where the Studio could become stuck in a migration-completed state following an upgrade from earlier builds.
