EkLine changelog

What’s new in EkLine. We publish monthly updates covering new features and improvements across Docs Reviewer and Docs Agent.

July 2026

Docs Agent

Follow-up messages in Slack threads — The @EkLine Slack bot now accepts follow-up messages you send while it is still working in a thread, running them in order instead of rejecting them. Set up the Slack bot

Per-repository review rules for GitLab — Control which merge requests trigger automatic reviews on a per-repository basis for GitLab, matching the existing GitHub controls. Set target branch filters, ignore patterns, author lists, and file filters in Settings > Organization > GitLab Integration (select a repository to configure its review rules).

Keep documentation screenshots up to date automatically — Docs Agent recaptures the screenshots in your documentation from your live product on a schedule you set, so images don’t drift out of date. Configure scheduled agents

Watch the agent browse in real time — When Docs Agent browses your site to capture screenshots or verify content, you can now watch its browser live in the editor. You can also replay the session afterward.

Turn Pylon tickets into help-center articles — Docs Agent reviews recent Pylon support tickets for questions your knowledge base should answer, then drafts the missing or corrected articles for your review. Configure scheduled agents

Flexible schedules for scheduled agents — Set scheduled agents to repeat on interval-based cadences such as every other day, twice a week, or every two weeks. Select multiple weekdays for a single agent, and rely on timezone-aware run times that hold through daylight saving changes. The schedule picker previews your next five runs, and you can run an agent immediately or skip its next run. Configure scheduled agents

Faster documentation PR dashboard — The dashboard now renders immediately from saved data. It then loads live pull request details in the background, removing the multi-second delay when you open it on larger accounts.

More complete PR tracking — The dashboard now includes documentation pull requests recovered automatically even when they have no linked session. It also filters out unrelated automated pull requests such as dependency updates, so the list shows only EkLine’s documentation work.

Bug fixes

Fixed an issue where Docs Agent created informational comments on a GitLab merge request as resolvable threads, which could block the merge button on projects that require all threads to be resolved.
Fixed Docs Agent not opening a documentation pull request from some sessions triggered by a pull request or merge request, even when your organization has automatic documentation PRs enabled.
Fixed an infinite redirect loop that could stop the editor session page from loading.
Fixed the editor preview crashing in some sessions.
Fixed dialogs continuing to intercept clicks after you closed them, which could leave the app unresponsive until you refreshed the page.
The @EkLine Slack bot now responds only when you mention it directly, so it no longer replies to other messages in a thread it has joined.

June 2026

Docs Agent

Typo-tolerant @EkLine mentions — Docs Agent now responds to @EkLine mentions in GitHub and GitLab comments even when someone misspells or formats the handle incorrectly, so a typo no longer results in a silent no-op.

Automatic merge requests on GitLab — When Docs Agent flags a GitLab merge request as high-confidence for documentation changes, it now opens a documentation merge request automatically, matching the existing GitHub pull request flow. Learn more

Live progress in Slack — The @EkLine Slack bot shows a live status indicator while it works on your request, so you can see it is making progress before the response arrives. Set up the Slack bot

View PR for merged pull requests — When a documentation pull request is already merged and has no new changes, the editor shows a View PR button instead of prompting you to raise a duplicate.

Attach up to 20 files per message — The chat panel now accepts up to 20 attachments per message and warns you when files exceed the limit instead of dropping them silently. Supported file types

Slack thread responses — The @EkLine Slack bot streams live progress in a single self-updating message, posts Docs Agent’s own reply with an expandable diff, and adds a View EkLine chat button on the first response. Follow-up mentions in that thread continue the same session, so the agent keeps context across messages. Set up the Slack bot

Session reuse on PR comments — Replying to a pull request comment Docs Agent created continues the existing session instead of starting a new one.

90-day session history — Resume Docs Agent sessions for up to 90 days, up from 30. Learn more

Bug fixes

Fixed Docs Agent posting duplicate comments on a GitLab merge request, where a medium-confidence review note could trigger itself.
Fixed Docs Agent occasionally showing a raw JSON object instead of a readable summary when assessing whether a pull request needs documentation.
Fixed the Docs Reviewer flagging the https scheme inside a URL in document frontmatter as a spelling issue.
Only authorized project members can now trigger Docs Agent from GitLab merge request comments.
Fixed the Docs Reviewer flagging keys inside document frontmatter when the file started with a byte order mark (BOM).
