This update is useful for teams looking to integrate Devin Review with their CI pipelines or custom scripts.

This release introduces several new features, including the Devin Review API, Mermaid diagram rendering, and the ability to close PRs on session archive. It also includes improvements to session notifications, service user permission management, and more. Notable fixes include a correction to the repo selector checkbox.
Official release notes
Devin Review API
You can now trigger Devin Review programmatically via the REST API. Use POST /v3/organizations/{org_id}/pr-reviews with a service user token or PAT to initiate reviews from CI pipelines, scripts, or custom integrations.
Mermaid Diagram Rendering
Mermaid code blocks in session messages now render as interactive SVG diagrams with zoom and pan controls, making it easier to explore flowcharts, sequence diagrams, and architecture diagrams that Devin produces.
Close PRs on Session Archive
When archiving a Devin session, a dialog now appears where you can optionally close any linked GitHub pull requests, keeping your repository tidy without manual cleanup.
Per-PR Auto-Review Toggle
You can now enable or disable automatic Devin Review on a per-PR basis from the PR actions menu, giving you granular control over which pull requests receive automated review without changing your organization-wide settings.
Sidebar Session Notifications
The session sidebar now shows persistent status labels, such as “PR created,” “Awaiting instructions,” or “Approve session,” alongside timestamps so you can quickly see what each session needs. Sessions also display read/unread indicators: an orange dot marks sessions with unread updates, and the dot clears once you open the session.
Service User Permission Management
Enterprise administrators can now assign the ManageAccountServiceUsers permission in custom roles, providing granular control over who can create and manage service users and API keys within the organization.
Ask Devin in PR Discussions
The “Ask Devin” button is now available on discussion tab thread comments in Devin Review, making it easy to ask follow-up questions or request changes directly within review conversation threads.
MCP Secret Scoping
When adding secrets for custom MCP server connections, you can now choose between personal scope, visible only to you, or organization scope, shared with your team, via a new scope selector in the creation dialog.
Clickable Diff Stats in Worklog
Clicking the +N/-M diff stats in worklog group headers now opens a scoped diff tab showing only the file changes from that specific group, making it faster to review exactly what changed at each step.
Repo Selector Fix
The select-all checkbox in the repository selector now correctly toggles only the repositories matching your current search filter, rather than selecting all repositories regardless of the filter.
May 6, 2026 · May 6, 2026
This release focuses on fixes and improvements, including the addition of Slack tool use in worklog, settings search improvements, and command palette search fixes. It also resolves issues with review commit links, default branch detection, and more.
Official release notes
Slack Tool Use in Worklog
When Devin interacts with Slack during a session (sending messages, adding reactions, reading channels), these actions now appear in the worklog and progress UI with a dedicated Slack icon and action details.
Settings Search Improvements
Settings pages now use a centralized item registry with keyword-driven search, delivering more accurate and comprehensive results when searching across all settings pages.
Command Palette Search
Fixed search ordering in the command palette so results rank correctly, and resolved a scroll view issue in the search results window.
Review Commit Links
Fixed commit links in Devin Review to point to the correct URL path, and improved status indicators for review progress.
Default Branch Detection
Fixed an issue where repository indexing could use the wrong branch as the primary branch instead of the actual GitHub or GitLab default branch, which could affect DeepWiki and search results.
