v0 August 14, 2026 Changelog

This update focuses on making your workspace cleaner and much more reliable. It’s especially great for people who use v0 to build and deploy web apps, because it fixes a ton of annoying bugs that used to cause lost work or broken previews, while adding features that make organizing your projects easier.

What's new

• A better sidebar: You can now resize the sidebar, and it will stay that size. Your chats are automatically grouped by project and sorted by what you used most recently. You can right-click for quick options, see a little icon when a chat needs your attention, and archive chats instead of permanently deleting them.
• Smarter deployment popover: When you're putting your app online, the info box now has clickable links to your code commits, site, and inspector tools. It also shows live CI checks (automated tests for your code) and gives you smart buttons to review code or fix errors.
• Usage and Activity dashboard: A new stats page is now available to everyone to track how you're using the tool.
• Easier importing: Bringing in files from Figma, GitHub, or the new "Paper" source is now combined into one simple "Import from" menu.
• Chat management: You can now ask the AI to list, inspect, or continue your other chats right in the conversation.
• Plan upgrades: Team members who aren't the owner can now request a plan upgrade, which automatically notifies the team owner.
• Image-only prompts: You can now send a prompt with just an image attached—no text required.
• No more badges: The "Built with v0" badge has been removed from published apps and generated code.

Improvements

• Publishing checks: You now have to explicitly choose if your app is public or private before publishing it.
• Account menu: The account menu got a visual redesign.
• Clearer sharing: Chat sharing labels are easier to understand, and confirmation pop-ups no longer yell at you with exclamation marks.
• Quick links: You can copy a chat's production URL from the share menu and open Vercel project links directly without an extra click.
• Cleaner previews: The Next.js developer overlay is hidden inside embedded previews, and the virtual machine (VM) terminal has a cleaner look.
• Better memory: The web app uses less memory by cleaning up old preview windows, media URLs, and deployment logs.
• Clearer status: The timeout card for the AI agent now clearly shows when it is "Resuming" or "Resumed."
• API install: You can now install the v0 API using the command npm i v0.
• Preview tabs: Removed the picture-in-picture preview; preview restriction actions now open in a new tab.

Fixes

• Previews recover better: If the usual wait time times out, v0 now finds the real port for your local dev server. If the connection drops, it refreshes the preview so you don't lose edits. It also stops showing a blank screen while the virtual machine (VM) starts up.
• Tool calls fixed: Third-party and MCP (Model Context Protocol) tool calls now queue up and return properly instead of timing out. Tool names are also standardized so requests stop failing, and newly added custom servers stay selected.
• Git and deployments fixed: Projects that keep their app folder inside a src folder now deploy correctly. Pending edits are no longer lost if a git status check fails, and running or unsaved VMs are no longer thrown away during upgrades. Branch creation also works even if you have uncommitted changes.
• Project imports fixed: You can now create new chats from non-Git Vercel projects. Imported repositories that have an app in a subfolder will now install and run that app instead of getting stuck.
• Security fix: The git push endpoint now requires real write access before it accepts a push.
• Sidebar fixes: Sidebar links now work from external scopes, chat ordering stays stable, and Rename/Archive options reliably appear in the menu. Hover-card previews no longer clip or show raw code, and the typing area keeps your focus when you toggle the sidebar.
• Publishing fixes: The back button now works in the review step, the wizard shows the correct project state, checkout lists non-owner teams, and template errors show up inline.
• Billing fixes: Checkout now shows actionable payment errors, the right upgrade plans for your account, and clearer messages when you run out of credits. Free-plan totals no longer show credits you can't actually spend.
• Login fixes: Expired sessions now recover instead of logging you out. Magic-link sign-in opens in one tap on mobile, and re-authenticating is faster.
• Chat fixes: Collaborators can now rename team chats, and long chats no longer drop messages or break pagination.
• Integration fixes: Integrations show connection feedback immediately without fake errors, and the Shopify connect prompt is restored when needed.
• Design mode fixes: Design mode can now delete a selected element, and preview keyboard shortcuts no longer hijack your typing in the panel.

Breaking changes

• The daily complimentary "Fix with v0" runs are now limited to paid plans only.
