What's new in VIKTOR (May 2026)

App Builder

Upload XML, JSON, YML and Python files

You can now upload more file types in the App Builder chat!

Use XML, JSON, YAML/YML, and Python files directly as context when generating apps, for example a LandXML export from Civil3D.

This makes it much easier to work directly with real configuration files, schemas, engineering exports, and scripts inside the App Builder, without any extra conversion or preparation steps.

Customer environments

The Home page has a new look!

The VIKTOR Home page has been redesigned into a central hub with three clear sections: Building, Using, and For you.

Depending on your role and activity, the homepage adapts to show the most relevant actions, apps, and projects for you, whether you are just starting or continuing existing work.

This means faster access to recently used apps and projects, a clearer starting point for new users, and less searching through navigation.

You can now start building an app directly from example prompts, continue working on your own apps, or jump back into recently used apps across projects!

All environments

Simplified Develop page

We've made managing and building apps from the Develop page more straightforward, whether you work locally in your IDE or directly in the App Builder.

Here's what's new:

• A fresh new look
• You can start local development easily from the Develop page
• You can create apps directly from the CLI while developing locally

Archive apps

VIKTOR automatically helps clean up unused apps

It’s easy to spin up apps in The App Builder while testing ideas or trying new workflows. But over time, unused experiments can pile up and make it harder to quickly find the apps your team works on.

VIKTOR now automatically archives unused apps that have no published version and no development activity for 90 days.

You stay fully in control throughout the process:

• Receive a notification email 30 days before archiving
• Get in-product notifications with one-click actions
• Restore archived apps anytime with a single click
• Nothing is ever deleted

This makes it easier to manage your apps, so you spend less time scrolling and more time building the workflows that matter.

Collaboration

Invite new users from within the App Builder

Want to invite a colleague to collaborate on your app? You can now invite them directly from the App Builder invite dialog, even if they don't have access to your VIKTOR environment yet!

The system will handle the approval flow automatically and applies the correct permissions once access is granted, so you don't have to worry about any of this.

Project Owners

Manage access requests directly in VIKTOR

When someone requests access to a shared project, project owners will receive a notification with the option to accept or deny access directly inside their VIKTOR environment. This means you are no longer dependent on your environment admin to manage access requests!
