Notion Developers adds per-tool access maps in notion-fetch self responses to show which tools are available or require an upgrade.
Per-tool access map in notion-fetch self
The notion-fetch MCP tool’s self response now includes a current_tool_access map, so clients can tell before making a call which tools will actually run on the connected workspace’s plan and which would only return an upgrade prompt. Each entry’s status is available, limited_free_trial (calls succeed via a free or metered trial allowance), upgrade_required (the entry also carries an upgrade_url into the workspace’s upgrade flow), or not_enabled. See Integrating your own MCP client.

File upload in Smart Assist now generally available!
Smartsheet adds Smart Assist file uploads in chat, letting users bring transcripts, docs, images, PDFs, and CSVs into conversations so the assistant can extract action items, suggest edits, and update sheets with approval.
You can now bring your content directly into your conversation.
Smart Assist now allows you to upload the files you work with every day — transcripts, documents, images, PDFs — directly into your chat. Smart Assist will process your content on your behalf, suggest next steps for approval, and can then take action on your sheet for you.
What you can now do with Smart Assist:
- Transcripts → tasks — Upload a transcript; Smart Assist extracts action items and proposes new rows/updates.
- Bulk edits — Upload an invoice; Smart Assist matches each line to the right row and suggests edits.
- Spreadsheet ingestion — Upload a .csv to update rows or populate your sheet.
- Reference content — Upload briefs, assets, and working files (images, PDFs, text files) into a campaign sheet for reference and downstream actions. Tell Smart Assist specifically what you want to do with each file, and it will recommend actions and make updates for you.
Additional details:
- Supported file types: PDF, .txt, PNG, JPG, .vtt, .csv, .md, .gif
- Supported file size: Limit of 3.75 MB for images; 4.5 MB for all other files
- Guardrails: All uploads are antivirus-scanned; malicious files are blocked.
- Sharing: Files are only in chat during the time of upload and are scoped to each user's own chat session. Once the panel is closed, the file is deleted from the chat history.

Bear 2.9: Use Tag as Workspace
Bear introduces Workspace, a new way to turn any tag into a focused writing environment that shows only related notes and updates the Sidebar for easier navigation. It also adds scoping for the MCP server, giving users more control over which notes are visible.
There are many ways to stay focused, and keeping unnecessary things out of the way helps a lot. Today we are introducing Workspace, a new feature that makes tags even more powerful to help you focus on what matters without the rest getting in the way.
What is Workspace?
Workspace lets you turn any tag into a dedicated writing environment. Once set, Bear shows only the notes under that tag. The Sidebar shows only the tags related to it so you can use it to filter and navigate your notes, and all the Sidebar entries such as archive and Trash will also update accordingly. Everything else steps aside, the world is now zoomed in on exactly what you need right now.
How to Set a Tag as Workspace
Right-click any tag in the Sidebar and select “Use as Workspace.” Switching between workspaces or returning to the full notes view is just as easy, all from the same menu. For more details, check out this support page.
Workspace in Your Daily Workflow
The best way to understand Workspace is to see it in action. Take Alex, a project manager who juggles multiple work projects during the day and writes a food blog in his spare time.
At work, Alex sets #project alpha# as his Workspace and Bear shows only those notes, nothing else. In the afternoon, when he needs to prepare a presentation for Project B, he switches to #project beta#. All his relevant notes are right there, and since Workspace hides everything else, he can share his screen with colleagues without worrying about exposing unrelated project details or personal notes. He can even use nested date tags like #2026/06 to dig into notes from a specific campaign period.
When Alex gets home, he switches to his #blog Workspace and Bear shifts entirely into that world.
He then clicks into the subtag #draft and continues his writing. All his work projects disappear from view, and he can focus on his writing without distraction. Related tags like #2026/06 are still there, but now they only surface blog notes from that period.
At the end of the day, Alex switches back to All Notes and uses the Today entry in the Sidebar to review everything he worked on today. He writes a quick daily recap and calls it a day.
More in the update: Scoping for MCP server
In this update, we also added scoping for MCP server, meaning you can now control exactly which notes are visible to it. For example, in Claude’s Settings under Extensions, you can set up Only tags and Exclude tags where Only tags restricts Claude to notes carrying specific tags, and Exclude tags hides notes you’d rather keep private. For example, adding private to Exclude tags means Claude will never see any note tagged as such.
Update now!
We hope Workspace gives you a new way to focus within your Bear workflow. Use it to separate work from personal projects, stay on track with a single client, or simply clear the clutter when you need to concentrate, we would love to see how it fits into your day.
If you’ve got feedback on this update, suggestions for what’s next, or just want to stay hi, reach out to us on Community Forum, Reddit, X (Twitter), Bluesky, or directly at [email protected].
Happy writing!

Notion Developers adds new identity fields in OAuth and MCP token responses, updates API links to the new app.notion.com domain, and expands search and query support for trashed or archived content, with matching SDK updates.
New identity fields in OAuth token responses
User objects now include an email_verified boolean next to person.email, indicating whether Notion has verified that email address. The field appears anywhere person emails do, including the owner in OAuth token responses and List all users results.
Notion MCP token responses now include top-level user_id, workspace_id, and email_domain fields on successful authorization-code exchanges, so MCP clients can associate a connection with a Notion user and workspace without an extra call. See Integrating your own MCP client.
New response fields like these are backwards-compatible additions and appear on every API version. Parse responses leniently: ignore fields you don’t recognize rather than rejecting them.
Notion app links in API responses use the new app domain
As part of Notion’s move from notion.so to notion.com, the links Notion generates for its own records changed in early June 2026: the url values returned for pages, databases, and data sources, and the href values for page and database mentions, now point at the Notion app domain with a page path prefix, https://app.notion.com/p/{page-id}, instead of https://www.notion.so/{page-id}. Existing notion.so links continue to open correctly.
These values are links for people to open in Notion, not stable identifiers: their domain and path format may change again. To reference a record, use its id field rather than parsing the URL, and use a page’s public_url to link to its published site. Links authored by users, such as link.url in rich text and URL property values, and links to sites published on notion.site or custom domains are unchanged.
Search the trash and query archived pages
Search accepts a new filter.in_trash option to list trashed pages and data sources (databases on API versions before 2025-09-03).
Query a data source accepts a top-level is_archived body parameter to return archived pages instead of the default non-archived set.
SDK support: @notionhq/client v5.23.2 adds filter.in_trash support to client.search(). v5.23.1 exports rich text annotation types and fixes pagination helper type compatibility with endpoint methods under strictNullChecks.

Mix and match existing slides to create a new presentation with Glean
You can now build new presentations by mixing and matching slides from decks you already have in Glean, instead of starting from a blank prompt. Choose one or more source presentations, then let Assistant suggest which slides to keep, drop, or reorder based on the story you want to tell, while generating only the missing title, transition, and summary slides needed to make the deck feel cohesive. The final presentation is exported through the existing slide generation pipeline to PowerPoint or Google Slides, preserving your company's branding and template settings.
How to access: Administrators must enable this for your organization. This feature may be subject to usage-based pricing. Learn more in Glean's Help Center.

Assistant [ROAD-1537]
Trigger agents by events
Automatically run Glean Agents in the background when content changes across your connected data sources — Gong, Jira, Salesforce, Google Calendar, email, and more — no manual intervention required. Use triggers to scale repetitive processes, ensure timely actions, and keep work moving: agents can send Slack notifications, generate summaries and kick off downstream workflows, all within your organization's existing guardrails and permissions.

Agents [ROAD-731]
Interactive artifacts are now generally available
With interactive artifacts, users can create visual proposals, rich analysis, and refreshable dashboards. Each artifact lives natively in Glean with a stable URL, shows up in Glean search, and can be shared at private or org-wide visibility without exposing the underlying chat.
This release moves interactive artifacts out of preview and includes several improvements:
- Start from templates. Ready-made templates surfaced under the Create artifacts button in the library to help you spin up artifacts for common workflows.
- Style your artifact. Change the look and feel of an artifact so it matches your team's or company's visual style.
- See source citations. Artifacts now surface citations to the underlying sources, so you can trust the data being presented.
- Higher-quality output. When in auto mode, interactive artifacts will be generated by a model that is optimized for creating polished visualizations, such as Claude Opus 4.8 (if enabled in your deployment).
- Improved triggering. Glean is better at recognizing when a request is a good fit for an interactive artifact, so more users discover the feature naturally.
How to access: Interactive artifacts are available automatically in Assistant when the Interactive artifact setting is turned on in your Glean admin console. If Interactive artifact is turned off, Assistant will respond with standard text-only answers.
This feature may be subject to usage-based pricing. Learn more in Glean's Help Center.

Queue a follow-up chat during long-running Assistant chats
Queue your next prompt while Glean Assistant is still working. If a chat is already in progress, you can add a follow-up message to run automatically as soon as the current response finishes, so you can keep moving without interrupting the task or coming back later to retype it. Queued follow-ups also carry over composer settings, including file attachments and model selection. You can also review, edit, or remove queued follow-ups before they run.

Assistant [ROAD-1507]
Render charts, diagrams, and visualizations in Assistant responses
When you ask for a chart or a diagram, Glean can render it as a compact, interactive widget right inside the chat response. You can then copy the widget's output as an image to drop into a doc, slide, or message.
How to access: Inline artifacts are available automatically in Assistant when the Inline artifact setting is turned on in your Glean admin console. If Inline artifact is turned off, Assistant will respond with standard text-only answers.

Assistant [ROAD-1468]
Create interactive artifacts from templates
Templates help end users quickly create interactive artifacts for common workflows. Users can start from ready-made templates surfaced in the library under the "Create" button, then customize the generated artifact to fit their work.
This feature may be subject to usage-based pricing. Learn more in Glean's Help Center.

Assistant [ROAD-1344]
Share artifacts with your entire organization via the share button
Artifacts can now be shared with your entire organization, making them discoverable via the library and search. This is in addition to existing sharing options like specific people or departments and anyone with the link, giving teams a clearer way to control how broadly their content is published.

Assistant [ROAD-1331]
Group your chats, sources, and artifacts with Glean Projects
Glean Projects help users organize chats and content in Glean so related work is easier to group, revisit, and share.
How it works: Create a folder to keep relevant chats and artifacts together in one place. folders are private by default and can be shared when needed. Existing Collections will automatically migrate to folders, with existing permissions preserved.
Assistant [ROAD-909]
Writing profile removed from Personalization
The writing profile section has been removed from Settings → Personalization. A more detailed memory experience - with improved ways to view and manage your memories, writing style, and more - is coming soon.
Assistant
More streamlined chat conversation search
Use the new chat history search dialog to quickly find past Glean chats and agent runs from the left sidebar. Search by thread title keywords and filter between Assistant chats and specific agents so you can jump back into ongoing work without scrolling. Open chat history search from anywhere in Glean with the Cmd+K keyboard shortcut.
How to access: Admins: In the admin console, go to Platform → Assistant → Settings and, under Chat history, select a retention period (for example 90 days or 1 year) instead of Off, then save. End users: open Glean, use the Chats panel in the left sidebar, and either type in the chat history search bar or press Cmd+K to open the chat search dialog.

Admin features
Admin Capabilities [ROAD-1531]
Model governance by department for LLMs (Glean key and Customer key)
Admins can now configure model governance policies at the department level for LLMs, giving organizations more granular control over which models are available to different teams.
Learn more
Admin Capabilities [ROAD-1339]
Per-user usage visibility in Billing Console
Admins can now see AI and model usage at the individual user level in the Billing Console, not just as aggregate workspace totals. The per-user view helps billing and finance teams explain where spend is coming from, spot outliers or power users early, and export user-level usage to support internal chargeback or governance workflows. This update adds richer visibility only and does not change how limits or usage controls are enforced.
How to access: Admins and billing moderators can access per-user usage from the Admin Console by going to Usage and choosing the By users view. Access to these views is limited to roles with billing permissions. If you don't see Usage in the admin console, your Glean role may not include billing or admin access.
Learn more
Admin Capabilities [ROAD-1185]
Per-user, per-agent FlexCredit usage limits in admin console
Admins can now set per-user monthly usage limits directly in the Admin Console, with global defaults and per-user, per-agent overrides to match different roles and departments. When a user reaches their usage limit, Glean automatically pauses access to billable features. This gives customers more predictable AI costs, stronger governance controls, and a safer path to scaling usage.
How to access: From the admin console, go to Usage → Manage usage limits to configure cost guardrails.
Learn more
Admin Capabilities [ROAD-731]
Search and filter MCP servers in the Admin Console
Admins can now quickly find specific MCP servers in the admin console using a search bar on the Glean MCP server page.
How to access: From the Admin Console, go to Platform → Glean MCP server and use the Search by server name box above the server list to filter servers as you type. No additional configuration is required.
