What's new

Epics are now a work item type

Epic is no longer a separate concept. It is now a regular work item type, which means epics behave like any other work item and gain the same capabilities, including custom properties, layouts, filters, and relations. Epics now appear directly in your Work Items list and can be filtered by type, so you no longer switch to a dedicated tab to find them. Nothing is lost in the move: every epic, comment, update, and initiative scope carries over.

Hierarchy

You can now define parent-child relationships between work item types at the workspace level. Without hierarchy, any work item can nest under any other. With it, Plane enforces the rules you set: an Epic can contain Stories and Bugs, a Story can contain Tasks, and invalid nesting is blocked across creation, type changes, bulk operations, and imports. You build it by dragging types into numbered levels, where higher levels are broader work. Relationships created before you enabled it stay intact, and at the project level you get a read-only tab to view the structure.

Configuring hierarchy requires Workspace Admin access and cannot be disabled once enabled.

Private dashboards

You can now create private dashboards. Keep a dashboard visible only to you while you are still building or refining it, then share or publish it when it is ready for a wider audience. This gives you a space to work on reporting without exposing half-finished views to your team.

Upgraded webhooks

Webhooks now support scopes and richer payloads. A single hook can carry related events together, for example a work item update alongside its sub work item changes, instead of firing a separate hook for each. Existing v1 webhooks keep working, and endpoints support both versions, so you can adopt v2 at your own pace while building integrations that are simpler to consume and reconcile.

Publish MCP applications

You can now publish MCP applications directly from Plane, across both the API and the UI. This exposes your workspace data and actions to MCP-compatible clients, so AI tools and agents can read from and act on your work in Plane through a standard interface, without custom integration work on your side.

Cursor agent

The Cursor agent brings Plane into the Cursor IDE, so you can work with your work items on the same surface as your code. Open or create a work item, link a branch, and update state without leaving the editor. Branches you create from a work item carry the right name, and the PR you open links back to the work item. If you already spend most of your day in Cursor, the work item context comes to you instead of pulling you out to a browser tab.

Send webhooks from workflows

Workflow creation has a refreshed flow, and you can now add a "send webhook" step to your automation rules. When a work item meets a rule's conditions, Plane calls the endpoint you specify, so you can trigger downstream systems, notifications, or custom automations directly from your workflows without a separate integration layer.

Due date reminders

Assignees now receive a reminder notification as a work item's due date approaches. You no longer have to rely on people checking dates themselves, which helps work land on time and reduces the chance of a deadline slipping unnoticed.

Bulk import members by CSV

You can now add members to your workspace in bulk by uploading a CSV file. Onboarding a large team no longer means inviting people one at a time. Prepare your list, upload it once, and bring everyone in together.
