Netlify Agent Runners now have a mode selector. Pick Ask and the agent reads, investigates, and answers questions about your project. Build is still the default and works exactly as before.

Ask mode is strictly read-only. The agent can’t edit files, run commands, deploy, or change settings. With no build or Deploy Preview, Ask runs are often faster and use fewer credits.

It answers with real context: your repository, your project context, and your project’s Netlify Database. Your data is often the fastest way to answer a question about your app, and Ask mode can query it with no risk of a write.

A few prompts to steal:

• “How many users are in the database?”
• “Walk me through how authentication is implemented in this project. Which files handle it, and where is the token stored?”
• “Our Largest Contentful Paint is bad on mobile. Read the code and tell me what’s most likely responsible.”
• “Plan out how we can migrate to the latest version of Astro.”

Because it’s a mode on the same run, you can switch to Build the moment an answer turns into a task — same run, same context, no re-explaining.

Ask mode is available on all agents, Claude Code, Google Gemini, and OpenAI Codex, in Agent Runners today. See the docs on Ask and Build modes.

Teams on a Free, Personal, or Pro plan now have project visibility settings to ensure that all of your project stay private until you decide to make them public.

More people are shipping prototypes, internal tools, early client work, and projects built with agents. A deploy is often a work in progress, not a publication. Netlify now reflects that distinction.

Project visibility settings allow you to:

• quickly ensure your project stays internal for your Netlify team until you’re ready to launch more publicly.
• ensure that your project stays private for you and your Netlify team.
• choose defaults that keep internal-only projects private, such as for internal apps and tools or sensitive releases.

While project access affects who on your team can access a project from the Netlify dashboard, project visibility impacts who can view your project, both at the live URL and inside of Netlify, and requires Netlify login credentials if a project is set to private.

Starting defaults

Starting today, all new Netlify teams on a Free, Personal, or Pro plan will have their projects set to private by default. This means that new Netlify teams will need to adjust the project visibility of each new site or app to decide when to make them publicly available.

If you have an existing Free, Personal, or Pro plan (all credit-based plans), then your starting project visibility settings are set differently to keep the previous default behavior before project visibility settings launched.

This means all your project URLs stay publicly available unless you’ve set up other authentication with code or Netlify’s password protection options.

Change your project visibility

To change your project’s visibility, you can set a team default for all new and existing projects at: Team settings > General > Visitor access > Default project visibility

To change only one project’s visibility settings: Project configuration > General > Visitor access > Project visibility

Availability

Project visibility settings are only available for Credit-based Free, Personal, or Pro plans.

If you have a Legacy pricing plan, an Enterprise plan, an Open Source plan, you will not find project visibility settings. In this case though, you can still use password protection, Team login protection (for Enterprise only) or configure authentication with code.

Netlify Drop has a refreshed look, with even more support for your questions and guidance on what’s next after you drop your latest site or app.

We first launched Netlify Drop 13 years ago when we introduced the web to a simpler way to deploy your web project and get a custom link for it.

Since that time we’ve learned a lot about how people (and now agents) use Drop. You can learn more from our official blog post revisiting Netlify Drop and how it’s evolved over time.

Same core functionality with more context

The newly improved Drop page keeps the same core functionality, letting you drag and drop your project files or folder, while making it easier for you or an agent to find answers along the way.

For example, did you know Netlify can detect your framework and run a build step for you?

You don’t have to build your project first. If you drop a project folder that uses a framework requiring a build, we’ll direct you to log in first, then take care of the build step for you.

Try it out

Try it out at app.netlify.com/drop.

After you drop

After you drop a project, claim it to keep your project online and join millions of others, from solo builders to global brands, who manage their sites and apps on Netlify.

After you claim your project, you can keep building in your preferred workflow.

We’ve got you covered with more ways than ever to keep building and deploying:

• Keep dropping to update the same production URL
• Push your deployed project to a newly created GitHub repo
• Keep deploying with dev tools, such as our CLI or API
• Keep developing with popular AI agents directly from your Netlify dashboard using Agent Runners

From there you can keep launching with confidence, undo mistakes (even without Git), build with a team, and grow to any size, all starting from a drop.

You can now invite a Developer or Internal Builder to your team without assigning them to an existing project.

Previously, the UI required every new Developer or Internal Builder to be given access to at least one existing project before you could add them. That got in the way of a common workflow: bringing someone on specifically to spin up new work, without handing them the keys to projects they don’t need to touch.

Because both roles can create their own projects directly, this is often exactly what teams want. Invite a new teammate, let them start building right away, and keep your existing projects untouched. When they create a project, they’re automatically assigned the Developer role on it, so they own the work they start without gaining access to everything else.

The result is cleaner, least-privilege onboarding: people get exactly the access they need to begin, and nothing more.

To try it, head to your team’s Members page and invite a Developer or Internal Builder without selecting any existing projects. Learn more about managing project access in our project access docs.

Team Owners on the credit-based Pro plan can now choose how many monthly credits come with their plan, instead of a single fixed amount. Pick the tier that fits your usage, and change it whenever your needs shift.

The new credit tiers, with rollover on higher tiers, can be especially helpful for teams with seasonal surges and teams with consistently high-credit usage and come with some per-credit cost savings.

What’s changing

Previously, every Pro plan included a fixed 3,000 monthly credits for $20/month.

New amounts for monthly credits

Now you can choose from five tiers:

Monthly credits	Price	Rollover
3,000	$20/mo	No
5,000	$33/mo	Yes
10,000	$63/mo	Yes
15,000	$95/mo	Yes
20,000	$126/mo	Yes

All tiers include the same Pro plan features: unlimited seats, password protection, and everything else that comes with Pro.

Rollover credits on higher tiers

Choose 5,000 monthly credits or higher and unused credits rollover an additional billing cycle so you get an extra month to use them. The base 3,000-credit tier doesn’t roll over.

Change your tier anytime

Team Owners can switch tiers without limits to how many times they switch. Upgrades take effect immediately with a prorated refund; downgrades take effect next billing cycle. Learn more about switching between Pro tiers.

Team Owners on the credit-based Pro plan can now create and assign labels to organize projects across their team, a capability previously limited to Enterprise.

Use labels to group projects by environment, purpose, or team—for example, staging, marketing, or production—then filter and find projects faster from your team’s project list.

Learn more in Organize projects in the Netlify documentation.

Team Owners can now guarantee that projects stay within the team to meet compliance or ownership requirements by blocking every project from being transferred to another team.

Once a Team Owner blocks project transfers out of the team, even the Team Owner cannot transfer projects out of the team unless they change this setting, which is tracked in the team’s audit log.

Try it out

To change the setting, go to Team settings > Access & security > Transfer site settings and select Edit settings.

When transfers are blocked, the Transfer project action is hidden for every project owned by the team and the backend rejects transfer requests for those projects.

Enterprise defaults

Enterprise teams start with project transfers set to Blocked for security reasons, but Team Owners can change this setting to Allowed at any time. Only Team Owners can change this setting and changes are recorded in the team audit log.

Managing team members just got easier. The Members page now includes sorting and filter controls that help you quickly find and organize your team, available for Pro and above plans.

You can now search for team members by name, filter by role, filter by project access, sort by last activity, and more — making it simple to audit access, find specific collaborators, or review who’s been active recently. These controls are especially useful as your team grows and you need more visibility into membership and permissions.

These controls are available now for all teams on Pro plans and above. Head to your team’s Members page to try them out.

Unlimited seats on the Pro plan

The Credit Pro plan now includes free unlimited team member seats with a monthly subscription. This means you can invite anyone you like to join your team for the monthly subscription of $20 for 3,000 credits to use across your team’s projects.

Invite or add Owners, Developers, Internal Builders, Publishers, Git Contributors, and Reviewers to your team without extra seat charges. Before you were charged $20 per seat, including for active Git Contributors.

This change applies to Pro plans using credits metered billing only. Legacy Pro plans are not affected. Learn more about how different plans are affected in our impact by plan summary table.

Impact timeline

These seat plan changes apply right away to new upgrades and plans.

For existing teams with a Credit Pro plan, your seat charges will be removed for existing seats at the start of your next billing cycle. In the meantime, you can invite more people to join and collaborate without seat charges starting today.

Unlimited form submissions

Now form submissions are free across all Credit plans. Previously, each form submission cost 1 credit.

Impact timeline

For existing teams with a Credit plan, you’ll notice form submission cost changes take effect starting today.

Updated metered billing

As part of this pricing shift, we’ve also updated how credits are calculated for certain resources. These updates still keep our services competitive.

Meter	Previous rate	New rate
Bandwidth	10 credits per GB	20 credits per GB
Compute	5 credits per GB-hour	10 credits per GB-hour
Web requests	3 credits per 10,000 requests	2 credits per 10,000 requests

Impact timeline

For existing teams with a Credit plan, you’ll notice the metered billing changes take effect starting today.
