Enterprise lite
Enterprise
- In human review, cross-class ranked fields now display class tags showing which document class each value came from. Reviewers can click the tag to open the source document and field to verify or correct the value.
- Resolved issue | When the extraction model returned None, fields could display ERROR as the value instead. Affected fields now display None or Value(None).
- Resolved issue | In projects containing extraction and derived or custom function fields, extracted values could be assigned to the wrong field. These incorrect values could be propagated to downstream steps such as cleaning functions. This issue didn’t impact app or deployment runs.
- Resolved issue | In review, .xlsx files extracted from .msg files didn’t display correctly.
Administration
- Resolved issues | For apps created after March 16, 2026, runs of legacy mode apps were being incorrectly billed as automation project usage.

26.16
Instabase adds stronger table extraction, shared deployment functions, and a Tags column in review, while also fixing a range of human review, agent mode, and import/export issues. It also introduces a new flow editor for Enterprise-tier organizations and updates subscription offerings.
This release includes stability and performance improvements.
Automate, deploy, & review
Enterprise lite
Enterprise
- For table extraction and list extraction fields, a new Long table extraction field setting is available. This setting delivers improved extraction results for multipage tables, with a dedicated discovery and extraction pipeline. Table highlighting is also improved, with one bounding box per page on which the table is found, rather than one bounding box on the table’s starting page only. Available in agent mode.
- Deployment integration functions now support shared functions. Add a function to the function library, then import it to your downstream integration custom function.
- A Tags column in the review dashboard lets reviewers filter jobs by tags. Tags can be added to runs initiated via API.
- Resolved issue | Split classification could fail when the model returned page numbers beyond the document length, leaving you with no results for that file. Out-of-range page numbers are ignored or adjusted so classification completes.
- Resolved issue | In human review, files with a # in the file name failed to load.
- Resolved issue | In human review, the document viewer zoomed in automatically when selecting a field. The zoom level is now fixed and can only be adjusted manually.
- Resolved issue | During agent mode app runs, logs were flooded with ERROR-level messages with no user-facing impact. Log entries for expected conditions are now logged at the appropriate level, making logs easier to use for troubleshooting.
- Resolved issue | For list of objects fields, the extraction model sometimes omitted a nested column on individual rows, which misaligned values in downstream custom functions that process rows by column order. Every row now includes all nested columns declared in your schema, in consistent order.
- Resolved issue | For agent mode projects previously configured in legacy mode, legacy mode file processing settings could override agent mode processing settings. Agent mode processing settings now take precedence.
- Resolved issue | Users could encounter issues making edits in human review for apps without validations.
- Resolved issue | When exporting and importing projects, custom functions created from validation prompts were recreated instead of preserved.
Single tenant | Resolved issue | In review, .xlsx files extracted from .msg files didn’t display correctly.
Enterprise
- Single-tenant, Enterprise-tier organizations can request access to the flow editor, a new way to build advanced apps. The flow editor introduces a full workflow automation layer to AI Hub, letting technical users build complex end-to-end workflows.
Administration
- AI Hub’s subscription offerings are updated:
- A new Enterprise lite tier is designed for focused functional teams, high-growth startups, and mid-market organizations looking to rapidly deploy powerful document automation. It provides the full power of the AI Hub engine but is streamlined to remove complex orchestration features not required for single-team or API-driven deployments.
- Deprecation | The Commercial subscription tier is deprecated and new sign-ups are discontinued. Existing organizations on the Commercial tier can connect with their support team directly for any questions.
- Removal | The Community tier is fully removed.
Enterprise
- Resolved issue | Changes to custom keys in projects and deployments weren’t recorded in audit logs, so you couldn’t tell who added, edited, or removed a key.

Instabase releases stability and performance improvements for agent mode, human review, and advanced apps, including new file processing settings, better OCR provenance, large file extraction mode, clearer review workflows, improved logging, and API and SDK support for run tags and richer run details.
This release includes stability and performance improvements.
Automate, deploy, & review
Commercial
Enterprise
- In agent mode, two new file processing settings are available. Review the technical details and limitations before enabling in your project.
- OCR-based provenance improves how extracted text is highlighted in a document, using OCR-based bounding boxes for more precise results than the default.
- Large file extraction mode improves classification and extraction for large documents when inputs exceed typical model context limits. It’s most useful beyond 200 pages, and for documents over 1,000 pages where you might see missing fields or lower accuracy.
- Resolved issue | In agent mode, when classification split a multi-record PDF into separate PDFs, extraction could return no values for any field because the extraction prompt still referenced page numbers from the original document.
- Resolved issue | App runs could fail for some older app schemas, due to a capitalization mismatch between actual and expected values in the schema. The affected schema fields are now compared case-insensitively.
- Single tenant | Resolved issue | Split classification could fail when the model returned page numbers beyond the document length, leaving you with no results for that file. Out-of-range page numbers are ignored or adjusted so classification completes.
- Single tenant | Resolved issue | In human review, files with a # in the file name failed to load.

Enterprise
- Advanced apps now support setting an AI runtime update strategy when adding an app version. You can also update the AI runtime for advanced apps. Previously, advanced apps always used the latest AI runtime.
- Resolved issue | In human review for advanced apps, the interface didn’t clearly indicate which files required review or had errors.
- Single-tenant | Deployment integration functions now support the file client (ibfile) and LLM client (llm_client) through context['clients']. The integration function header is updated accordingly. To learn more about the ibfile and llm_client clients, see Calling LLMs from custom functions.
API & SDK
- You can add tags to your deployment and app runs, letting you categorize runs. Possible uses include tagging testing or development runs. Add tags as an array under settings, with the combined character count not exceeding 500.
- The List runs, Get run status, Run deployment, and Run app endpoints now return more run details, including batch_id, input_dir, app_id, deployment_id, and tags.

Instabase introduces a major human review update with packet-based review support, a refreshed review dashboard, and new preview-based URLs. It also adds ZIP import and export for automation projects, improves agent-mode checkbox extraction, boosts table correction performance, and fixes several review issues.
Automate, deploy, & review
Commercial
Enterprise
- In this release, how you access and navigate to reviews has changed.
- The format for the URLs at which run-based reviews are accessed is changed.
- Deployment runs: .../review/?deploymentId= → .../preview/
- App runs: .../review/ → .../preview/
- The Documents view on the Review tab is removed, in favor of a task-based review system that supports packet-processing apps. All existing document-based reviews have been migrated to tasks. The URL format for task-based reviews is .../review/task/.
- The format for the URLs at which run-based reviews are accessed is changed.
- You can export and import automation projects as ZIP files to move work across workspaces, organizations, and environments, or to create backups. Exports include the project details, schema, validation rules, and custom functions, including shared functions from the function library. Sample files or previously uploaded files aren’t included.
- In agent mode, the new Advanced checkbox extraction file processing setting improves checkbox detection accuracy and can also improve results for table fields. Review the technical details before enabling in your project.
- Performance is improved when correcting tables in human review.
- The review dashboard has a new Date added column, letting reviewers sort and filter review tasks by date.
- You can create ground truth datasets from app runs that contained processing errors. The files that resulted in errors aren’t included in the dataset.
- Resolved issue | The number of fields per class was limited to 100, rather than the stated limit of 250. Adding 250 fields per class is now fully supported.
- Resolved issue | Hidden fields sometimes didn’t display correctly in human review.
- Resolved issue | Cleaning functions sometimes failed to rerun after reclassifying a document.
- Resolved issue | In human review, document sequence numbering was reversed. Reviewers now see the expected document 1 of 3 format, rather than document 3 of 1.
- Single tenant | Resolved issue | App runs could fail for some older app schemas, due to a capitalization mismatch between actual and expected values in the schema. The affected schema fields are now compared case-insensitively.
- Single tenant | Resolved issue | In agent mode, when classification split a multi-record PDF into separate PDFs, extraction could return no values for any field because the extraction prompt still referenced page numbers from the original document.
Enterprise
- The human review interface now fully supports packet-based review. Improvements to the review experience include:
- Packet-processing app results can now exclusively be reviewed by packet. Previously, reviewing by file or by run was supported, which impacted visibility of cross-class fields. This change is also reflected in deployment configuration: for packet-processing apps, configuring Review by file or Review by run isn’t supported.
- The review dashboard makes it clearer that you’re reviewing by packet, lets you filter review tasks by packet, and no longer requires a separate entrypoint for packet-based review.
- When reviewing ranked cross-class fields, reviewers can select from a dropdown of extracted value options, or enter a custom value. The dropdown options show extracted values, not any manually corrected values. If reviewers have previously corrected the value of a class field, the dropdown options don’t reflect this change.

Instabase releases updates for Commercial Enterprise and Enterprise: adds Force image OCR file processing in agent mode to speed up text extraction and reduce memory use; fixes copying custom functions when moving projects across workspaces; provides memory optimization for large files; enables Text choices as return type for cross-class custom functions with validation; reviewers can pick from the allowed list in human review.
Automate, deploy, & review
Commercial
- Resolved issue | When copying projects across workspaces, custom functions weren’t copied correctly.
- In agent mode, the new Force image OCR file processing setting lets you treat all pages as images and process them with OCR. When enabled, text extraction from machine-readable PDFs is skipped, which can improve processing speed and reduce memory usage for certain documents.
- This release includes memory optimization improvements to reduce peak memory usage during file processing. Expect improved stability and reliability when processing large files in agent mode.
Enterprise
- In cross-class custom function fields, you can now set the return type to Text choices, limiting valid returned values to a specified set. If the function returns a value not in that list, a validation error is shown. Additionally, in human review, reviewers can search and select from the allowed list rather than typing values themselves.

Instabase releases security enhancements that disable local caching of sensitive data. It adds a v2 deployment integration format with a migration helper, fixes tester permissions to view deployment configurations, improves pop-out views for wide tables, corrects copying projects across workspaces, and enables file-based secret values.
This release includes security enhancements that disable local caching of potentially sensitive data.
Automate, deploy, & review
Commercial
As previously announced, deployment integration functions now return results in the v2 format, which matches the structure returned by the Get run results API endpoint. To support this change, a migration helper is now available when editing existing integration functions. Use the helper to migrate your code and test changes before saving and permanently updating to the v2 format.
Resolved issue | Users with tester permissions couldn’t view deployment configurations.
The pop-out view for tables now displays wide, single-row tables more clearly.
Single tenant | Resolved issue | When copying projects across workspaces, custom functions weren’t copied correctly.

26.06
New automation and enterprise updates roll out across Community Commercial and AI runtime 2.0.1. Highlights include default No value found in extraction, larger file splitting (400 MB/2000 pages), and enabled LLM calls in validation for single tenant. AI Hub tightens access controls and prompts for trusted URLs.
Automate, deploy, & review
Community
- For extraction fields, handling of unclear or unavailable values is improved. Previously, N/A was returned, which could conflict with valid extracted values. Now, No value found is returned by default. This change is available immediately in automation projects and existing community apps, and in commercial and enterprise apps as AI runtime 2.0.1.
- Resolved issue | Renaming projects sometimes failed.
Commercial
- File splitting now supports files up to 400 MB and 2,000 pages when the Disable OCR setting is enabled. After splitting, individual documents should be 200 pages or fewer for optimal extraction results. For details about requirements and constraints, see file limitations.
- Single tenant | You can call LLMs from custom functions in validation functions, cross-class validation functions, and cross-class custom function fields. The LLM client uses the environment’s configured LLM provider and the configured AI runtime model. Supported in agent mode only.
- Resolved issue | When attempting to convert generated validation code to a custom function, the confirmation modal would close before users could confirm the action.
- Resolved issue | Users with tester permissions couldn’t view a project’s settings.
- Resolved issue | Apps with associated ground truth datasets failed to delete, despite showing a confirmation message. Now when you delete an app, the app and all associated ground truth datasets are deleted properly.
- Resolved issue | In projects, custom validation functions showed as having failed when the validation result exceeded the character limit. Improved error messaging now clearly indicates this root cause. This limitation doesn’t affect apps or deployments.
Enterprise
- Run results sent via downstream integrations or retrieved through manual export now include packet-level information, including cross-class fields. Previously, packet-level information was available only when getting results via API.
Administration
- AI Hub now enforces stricter access controls for cross-domain integrations. By default, requests from external websites are blocked unless explicitly verified as trusted, preventing unauthorized websites from performing actions on behalf of logged-in users.
Action required: If your organization integrates AI Hub with other applications (for example, embedding AI Hub in a portal or accessing it from a different domain), you must connect with Instabase Support to provide a list of URLs of your trusted applications. Support can configure the appropriate settings to maintain connectivity. Otherwise, AI Hub now allows same-origin requests only.

26.04
New disable OCR speeds processing and saves memory, with tradeoffs for text dependent features. V2 results format rollout is breaking for function edits; migration tools and timing guidance provided. Also adds LLM calls in custom flows, ground truth from app runs, IP allowlisting, and workspace Data Drive.
Automate, deploy, & review
Community
Commercial
Enterprise
- The new Disable OCR setting lets you skip optical character recognition during file processing when using agent mode, significantly improving processing speed and reducing memory usage. When OCR is disabled, functionality that requires document text, such as text-dependent custom functions, doesn’t work.
- Deployment integration functions now return results in the v2 format, which matches the structure returned by the Get run results API endpoint. The v2 format organizes results by files and documents, providing a consistent structure and additional details compared to v1. Existing integration functions continue to work with the previous format for backward compatibility, unless edited. This is a breaking change. In 26.04, editing any integration function triggers conversion to the v2 results format, even if changes aren’t saved. In 26.08, a migration tool helps you update your code and test changes, and the conversion to v2 results format is completed only upon saving. To avoid unintended changes, wait until release 26.08 to edit any functions involved in business-critical workflows.
- Single tenant | For extraction fields, handling of unclear or unavailable values is improved. Previously, N/A was returned, which could conflict with valid extracted values. Now, No value found is returned by default. This change is available in commercial and enterprise apps as AI runtime 2.0.1.

- Single tenant | You can call LLMs from custom functions in custom function fields, classification functions, and splitting functions. The LLM client uses the environment’s configured LLM provider and the configured AI runtime model. Supported in agent mode only.
- Resolved issue | List-of-objects processing could error and return 0 due to a formatting bug. This issue affected derived fields and cleaning functions applied to list extraction results.
Enterprise
- Resolved issue | Users would encounter an error when editing ground truth datasets in human review. The issue occurred after scrolling to the 60th+ file in sets of 100+ files, then selecting a table or list field.
Administration
- Single-tenant | AI Hub now enforces stricter access controls for cross-domain integrations. By default, requests from external websites are blocked unless explicitly verified as trusted, preventing unauthorized websites from performing actions on behalf of logged-in users.
- Workspaces now have a default upload destination, the Data Drive, part of your organization’s 1 TB included storage. Each workspace has a separate Data Drive, ensuring data isolation between workspaces.

You can request Anthropic models via Bedrock. Automation projects get table extraction improvements, preserving prompts when changing field types. Human review and API updates fix errors, improve accuracy, and normalize metrics.
Enterprise
Single-tenant | You can request to use Anthropic foundation models in your environment—through Amazon Bedrock—rather than the AI Hub default OpenAI models. Like other available models, Anthropic models are gated by AI runtime for automation apps. Connect with Instabase Support for more information.

In the project field editor, changing the field type now preserves existing prompts or descriptions.Commercial
Enterprise
Cleaning functions applied to table extraction fields now process large tables as a single unit, enabling global operations like sorting across all rows. This change is available immediately in automation projects and existing community apps, and in commercial and enterprise apps as AI runtime 1.0.11.
In human review, file search queries now match with either upper- or lowercase letters.
Resolved issue | When expanding the view for table extraction fields, an extra column—not included in the result—was displayed at far right.
Resolved issue | Accuracy tests failed to run and provided a vague error message if tables in the ground truth dataset were improperly formatted. A clearer error message now indicates which documents and fields need correction.
Resolved issue | In human review, changing document splitting or classification multiple times caused re-extraction to fail.
Resolved issue | Email notifications when items were queued for review included links to view, but not review, items.
Resolved issue | In the Hub, filtering for advanced apps returned results from only the first page.
Resolved issue | In deployment metrics, handling time averages were calculated inconsistently across charts. All handling time metrics are now standardized to include the full run time for each document.API & SDK
The get run results API operation returns non-secret custom keys.

Resolved issue | When uploading files to projects with multiple classes, if multiple upload jobs ran simultaneously, files occasionally displayed classification errors, yet the document count increased.
Resolved issue | Deleting an app deleted only the latest app version instead of all app versions.
Enterprise
You can now link deployments in development and production workspaces to create a pipeline for promoting configuration changes.
In human review, large tables now load faster.
Resolved issue | Loading accuracy tests and ground truth sets failed for apps with many versions.
Resolved issue | Reviewer assignment dropdowns in workspaces didn’t include members granted access through groups. Only users directly added to the workspace were displayed.
Resolved issue | Table editing in human review resulted in errors that prevented autosave from working properly.

Chatbots have a new dedicated creation flow, separate from conversations.
For existing chatbots, there is a one-time migration step to separate your published chatbot from its origin conversation and create a chatbot draft. Open your chatbot from the Hub, then hover over the Draft workflow selector in the top right, and follow the instructions provided.
The chatbot interface has an updated layout, including a dedicated document viewer.

Workspace roles are expanded to five distinct roles that reflect job functions: reviewer, review manager, tester, developer, and workspace manager. The new role structure provides more granular control over user permissions and supports common automation workflows. For detailed permissions and an explanation of how roles apply across AI Hub, see Organization and workspace roles.
API & SDK
Each API operation includes sample code for calling the operation by making REST calls with Python and the requests module, instead of using the Python SDK.
The create conversations and upload files and converse with a document SDK operations support the fast_mode parameter.
SDK version 0.12.0 is available, containing the fix described above.

Commercial Enterprise Agent mode is generally available, delivering higher extraction accuracy and simpler setup. New options tailor groupings and per‑document runs for drives and mail, with failure alerts. Also adds deterministic Python classification and split rules plus configurable OAuth scope.

Agent mode is now generally available. Agent mode processes documents with next-generation models for enhanced extraction accuracy and simplified configuration.
Update existing projects to agent mode to take advantage of these improvements.You can configure notifications to be alerted when run results are sent downstream.
Upstream integrations include new processing options to align with how documents are grouped in your source systems and to better support packet-based processing. For connected drive integrations, you can choose to process subfolders as separate runs. For mailbox integrations, you can create a separate run for each email, instead of batching queued emails into a single run.
Resolved issue | Webhook notifications weren’t sent when runs failed due to validation errors, such as when processing corrupted files.
Enterprise
Classification custom functions let you write custom Python code to classify documents based on deterministic rules rather than relying on LLM classification.
Splitting custom functions let you write custom Python code to split multipage files into documents using rule-based logic.
Resolved issue | The cross-class validation rule Require matching fields incorrectly compared field values before cleaning lines were applied. It now compares final field values after cleaning lines are applied.

Enterprise
OAuth provider configurations now support a configurable scope claim (default scp) that lets you control per-token permissions using role-based access.
