Changelog

Previously, users creating sites through partner tools or AI code generation tools like Bolt had to manually enable form detection—often causing confusion and blocking access to submissions. Now, form detection is autoenabled, allowing end users, especially low-code users, to start collecting submissions immediately without extra setup. This update reduces friction for both partner tool users and AI-generated site deployments, ensuring a smoother experience.

Netlify now provides official AI context files to improve the accuracy and reliability of AI coding assistants like Cursor, Windsurf, and GitHub Copilot. Developers can easily integrate the context files into their projects, with specific support for Cursor and other AI tools.

Additionally, Netlify CLI (v18.1.0+) includes a netlify recipes ai-context command for seamless context management, allowing for easy updates while preserving custom overrides.

With this realease, Netlify’s documentation also now supports a /llms.txt resource, enabling AI tools that automatically reference https://docs.netlify.com/llms.txt to have enhanced web context.

To learn more about this and how to use it, check out our documentation.

We’ve made a small but meaningful update to how deployment statuses are displayed in the Netlify UI. Previously, when a site was deployed from a partner site (such as Bolt, for example), the label simply read “Manual deploy.” Now, you’ll see “Deployed from [Partner name]” instead. This change helps provide clearer visibility into where your deployments are coming from, making it easier to track automated workflows and integrations.

If you’re working with partners like Bolt, this update ensures your deployment history reflects that connection, reducing ambiguity and improving collaboration. It doesn’t change anything about how deployments work—just a small tweak to make things clearer and more informative. Let us know if you have feedback, and happy deploying!

Prisma Postgres is the first serverless database without cold starts, and a modern, type-safe ORM. Install the extension to create a new instance and instantly add enviornment variables to your Netlify account.
