What's new

November 13th, 2026

  • Organization administrators can now export their access events as JSON with the new Access Events API, so a SIEM, data lake or other security tool can collect them automatically.
  • The access events audit log now records failed sign-ins, data access (including API reads, exports and AI agents), changes to variables and data sources, and visits by Ghost Inspector staff. Every event now shows whether it succeeded, failed or was blocked.
  • The IP allowlist now protects all access to an organization's data, whichever credential is used: the web app, API keys, OAuth tokens, AI agent tokens, the recording extension and SCIM tokens. Refused requests are listed in your access events. An allowlist protects only its own organization, so members can still sign in and use their other organizations from any address.
  • Fixed organization settings pages sometimes acting on the previously viewed organization after switching organizations on a slow connection. The AI Agent Access page now names its organization, and has the same breadcrumb and settings menu as the other settings pages.
  • We have drastically improved search across the Ghost Inspector app. Ghost Inspector search can now be reliably and robustly used to search tests, folders, suites, and test steps. Search also ignores capitalization and highlights what matched.
  • We have drastically improved search across the Ghost Inspector documentation. Ghost Inspector search can now be reliably and robustly used to search our documentation.
  • New phone, tablet, and desktop screen sizes are available in the screen size options for Ghost Inspector tests. You can also enter a custom size to test your own dimensions.
  • A test's own settings now always take precedence when it runs inside a suite, including custom and scheduled suite and test runs.
  • Accepting a new baseline screenshot now works on very large test results.
  • The entire Ghost Inspector app is now much easier to use on a phone, with enhanced mobile responsiveness across the board.
  • Clicking Run several times quickly no longer starts duplicate runs.
  • Scheduled tests and suites no longer occasionally stop running on schedule.
  • Test results and run history now show whether each run used Headless or Traditional browser mode.
  • If you cancel your subscription, you now keep access to Ghost Inspector until the end of your current billing period.
  • Organization admins can now remove members when single sign-on (SSO) is enabled, and re-inviting a previously removed member now works.
  • The number of tests shown at the top of a suite is now always accurate.
  • This release also includes many other quality-of-life improvements and minor bug fixes.
